I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

Okay, first question: What should I wear to my cousin's wedding?

What's the best advice you have received from a midwife?

Venting hobs are crap, they don’t work very well. Why can’t you just get a ceiling extractor?

How do I break my Mumnet addiction?

At the end of the day it’s a matter of informed choice. I had a wake up call which made me realise how easily it happens, and also how easily the habit is formed, and therein lies the danger. That’s all I’m saying - I think the medics are right to be all over this if they can prevent problems which will cost the NHS far more in treatment.

Another option is shredded memory foam. Got one of those too. Very firm but some come with a zip so you can take a bit out to make it a little softer. Nice selection on Amazon.

'I'd find it really weird that it had never come up. do you never talk about your past, for example? Has it never come up in conversation?

I don't think there are any particular 'benefits', but to never have spoken about it in 4 years shows a lack of curiosity or needless secrecy. '

How about a cup of glitter carefully folded into a pair of men’s baggy pants like a giant tbag (that you lift out gently when you use).

If you've ever fallen out with a relative, why?
