To think I might get money for a tip in a magazine?

[Lindah1]

Just that really, have some ideas which seem loads better than what you read in the mags, anyone had any cash for yours?

Tape a naan bread to your bicycle seat, tasty warm snack to eat when you get home

This is possibly my favourite thread ever 😂

@HateIsNotGood If Irregular Choice made those tape shoes people would definitely buy them!

School photos can be expensive so when your little one is ready for school take the picture yourself and print it out. You can also use this trick by saving on the bundle packages by sending the photo around via email.

How much can I get for that top tip?

Wait I've got another one (I'm on a roll!)
If you've got more than one child when the eldest grows out of clothing pass it down to the next.

... If you're looking to avoid the sugar tax just add in your own sugar to sugar free drinks...

... Running a car can be expensive so just run. It's a totally free alternative...

... Date night can be expensive when adding up the price of the cinema or dinner with child care. Top tip is to watch a pre-owned dvd while saving money by shopping in your local supermarket...

... Instead of taking the kids to an aquarium just take them to the local Pets At Home (it also offers more by small animals).

Okay I'll stop but I reckon there's a few quid there.

I actually do this one!

Bit outing but worth sharing anyway!

The staff room at my mums old workplace was rife with shared Top Tipst, the crappier the better. One was "If you love the look of decorative plates but cant afford to buy them, simply cut out the picture of the plate in the advert and glue it to a paper plate. You can have a whole wall of plates at a fraction of the cost!"

This caused much hilarity at mums work and within weeks they did indeed have a whole wall covered in said plates. My favourites where the ones that were stuck onto oval or patterned plates. Nothing beats a Bluebell Wood stuck onto a "Merry Xmas!!!" paper plate :o

My son came to me when he was about 8 years old and said "Mum, if you ever need a hammer and don't have one you can just use your gun like this" (banged with the barrel).

Obviously Im always looking for ways to utilise my gun!

My favourite is if you can't afford wall-to-wall carpet, glue carpet samples to the soles of your shoes.

Avoid embarrassment when tripping over in the street by repeating the same movement several times to make it look like a normal part of your behaviour. (Viz, circa 1989!)

Reminds me of the Daily Fail's "tip" on how to avoid the 5p carrier bag charge by taking you own bag into the shop and using that for your shopping....errr.........

I made up a 'cringe' story for a teen magazine when I was about 12. They sent me a Polaroid camera and a whole load of hair products!

I love this thread!!! Trying not to wake the baby with all my laughter :)

Save money on expensive music festivals. Put up a tent in your own back garden, piss up the side of it and steal your own shoes.

the detergent lids on drawer handles, good lord

I remember reading them in magazines like takw a break, best and bella nearly 20 years ago. Our next door neighbour used to poke the magazines through the letterbox when she’d finished with them. She still does now!
There are some crackers aren’t there I always remember reading about “to get a fashionable toilet roll cover, knit a tiny skirt, break a barbie doll in half and stick the skirt to the waist of saod barbie doll” and the rules on getting paid were quite strict “must be original and not been published anywhere else”’

Crazy daffodil hat woman is an absolute legend. I want her to adopt me.

I used to make up confessions...the sort that say "I had sex with a stranger in a shop" but were anonymous.

I'd make one up, send it in and get about a hundred quid.

This thread is hilarious.

My top tip... If you have a room that needs decorating, save money on wallpaper by using magazine cuttings to make a floor to ceiling collage instead.

Or for a really funky look, you can use all those unwanted fliers and menus that get delivered through your letter box.

I saw one once about using sanitary pads to cover vents to keep the heat in your house.

And another brilliant idea.. if you have done a disgusting shit and can’t flush it, just use it as a vase! The flowers cover the smell and look pretty, the shit disguised as soil”

Will you all stop it! I’m trying to go to bed here. 😂

Years and years ago I read a tip in Woman that pretty much went-

“I hate wet knickers the day after having sex as semen leaks out. Now, I wear a scented liner. Not only does it keep my knickers clean, but the scent makes me think of the fun I had with my lover!”

Would love to find it again and get the exact wording.

Must pick up a copy of Take a Shit.

Dying @ 'steal your own shoes' 😂
