AIBU to think that using false teeth to...

[Igglystuffedfullofturkey]

create decorative edging on your mince pies is a bit

And using a crash helmet a la Storm Trooper when cutting onions is also

I'm reading a cheap womens mag (it's my guilty pleasure) and these were a couple of "tips". PMSL

AIBU to find this hilarious?!

That has made me feel slightly nauseous tbh.

I sent a lovely tip in once but it was clearly far too sensible/rational.

Ah you see - you need to be a bit left-field to get £25. Or patronising - one tip was to label bags with contents when storing things.

so if I labelled bags I would know what was in them? Fantastic, wish I had thought of that.

I have another one, I find it best to cook frozen food such as pies before eating them otherwise I really struggle to bite into them.

I love the tips in women's mags - they're all completely barking!

that's why my (frozen) fish and chips didn't taste right!

Iggly another tip for you. Once you have eaten your (preferably cooked) dinner, try washing the plates up. No, I know it sounds mad, but bear with me...if you leave the plates they are still dirty the next day. This has revolutionised my life, honestly.

Oh, just one more thing, if you have any icecream, don't bother cooking that, it goes all runny.

Does the washing up rule apply to saucepans too?

A real time saving tip for you Iggly buy cheap saucepans and try not to use them. (buy frozen rice and veg etc that you can steam in packets in the microwave)- better still order takeaway and eat it out of the packets.

If you really have to use a saucepan (or your dh defies you and does so regardless) then I would suggest a) divorce and b) find a handy wheely bin and pop the saucepan in.

hth

Wilkos is great for cheap saucepans btw.

Excellent. You should send that in. £25 could be yours!

The best one (worth £25 ) i ever read was what to do if you spill your Nail Polish onto a settee or table or carpet.....

....(it was to use nail polish remover to get rid of it)

NO SHIT SHERLOCK = £25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better still don't cook at all. Just make or buy sandwiches.

There aren't nearly as many mad ones as there used to be on the website. Or pictures of Sharon from Guildford smiling manically pointing to her genius "invention".

"To keep festive flower displays topped up with water, use a kitchen funnel. That way, you won't make a mess on the table."

Oh no, I wondered why my table kept getting wet.

"A good alternative to an eggcup is the lid from a bottle of liquid clothes wash. It holds the egg and you can prop the toast around the edge."

Mmm, hint of soap!

Portly I have a far better tip than that.

If your baby has a dirty nappy, clean its bottom with...wait for it...Baby Wipes.

It's a money spinner port!!! I'm trying to think of some but maybe they're not obvious enough

rofl at lid of liquid clothes wash. Does anyone from the magazine actually test or audit these tips?

Iggly feel free to send any of mine in as long as you are prepared to split the money. £12.50 each would be rather nice.

Top tips in Viz are much better. Such as, when retrieving a lost item from underneath a table, always don a crash helmet as you invariably bang your head on the way up.
Made me laugh.

Crying with laughter here. Thanks everyone

I'm actually tempted to send one in one.... For comedy value at least!

it strikes me that false teeth must be a lot more expensive than a fucking pastry cutter.

unless you're using your nhs ones... in which case... just... why? why?

why?

i you don't have false teeth i presume you can just chew the pastry up a bit instead?

MadamDeathstare someone told her that a foot soak was relaxing (in a different magazine) and she misunderstood and thought they meant for dogs, not humans.

was it a fluffy dog? Maybe she was using it as a squeegy to wash her car?

Portly you are funny.

If one didn't have a fluffy dog to hand the same effect could be found by using a lamb.
