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?

These tips are so funny.

Mine to share is "Test your baby's hearing by dropping a large book on the floor next to them."

Sadly that tip was from my Mom.

@LeighaJ I’m actually crying at that one!

I read one years ago that always stuck with me. It went something like this

‘Worried the new carpet on your stairs will get worn in the middle? Simply walk down the stairs with your legs apart’

Fabulous!

Best thread ever!

My offerings.. i am still trying to figure out how the sanitary pads will give you curves. Might have to put it to the test 🧐🤷🏻‍♀️

Whinge whinge wine on FB posts some great ones of these. This one was recent...

I think what's scary is these people walk among us 😱

That paper bag blue-tacked to the wall to make a feature.

This thread had made my day.

Not had a tip printed but have had a letter printed in one of those ‘aren’t men daft’ type columns. Got £25. My sister’s ex was hilarious and lacking in the common sense department and always coming up with brilliant ones.

This thread is brilliant but I nearly choked on my dinner which wasn't so great.

Hmm, glueing junk to the walls and collecting loo roll holders? These people belong in an episode of Hoarders, not top tips!

My favourite one I’ve ever seen suggested taking the tape out of VHSs and dangling them from the top of the door as a curtain..(can’t find the actual tip but imagine having this in your house..)

The sanitary towel one for "adding curves" made me laugh so much. How many do you have to put on?! Surely one is just going to add a mm of "curve" (or if its a stretchy tight dress, just show the outline of a sanitary towel stuck to your hip like you have had an unfortunate slipping incident). I actually love that these people exist.

The image of gramps then loosing his rag with them after he headbutted one for the 10th time when he was digging up his spuds and carrots will last me a lifetime! Heck it even got a mention at his funeral.

Love this thread, this one got a genuine well needed laugh out loud!
Conjures up an amazing mental image

Write in and send some off, I've had several of these types of stuff printed through letters/Rude Joke of The Week etc.
You get around 50 quid a tip or letter depending where you send them to.
The bigger names like That's Life and Take a Break pay the best.

The chocolate box one
No it doesn't look fancy, it looks like a chocolate box.
Love the put coco powder on your cheeks instead of bronzer, I reckon that ones used by many in the name of contouring

Thanks a bundle for whoever it was who posted the link to the FB group Angry People In Local Newspapers.
Like I don't spend enough time reading shit on the internet, I'm now going to lose even more hours aren't I....

I keep seeing these pop up in angry people in local newspapers too now- I'll have a top tip for every occasion 😂

Viz had the best ones:

Fill a metal cigar case with angry bees to make an inexpensive vibrator.

I'm actually crying

I am coming out as saying I quite like the bath puff fascinator! I have seen worse, and you wouldnt know if you hadnt been told. Not saying I would wear one myself, but kudos to the lady concerned!

If the glass falls out of your sunglasses - no problem! Use a Quality Street wrapper in its place for a jazzy new look

Forgot to buy party hats? Make some fun ones at home with old yoghurt pots

angelnix

Particularly loving that that says to make sure the net is not INflammable!

Wtf? A 5 year old could do better!

On a similar theme... I love this ad from Viz I saw earlier!

If we are sharing our favourite Viz adverts then this is mine! We have a pub just like this near us.

I found a whole page of them!
