Ok, I'm starting to wonder how much money these two ladies have made from sending in top tips. So far they have appeared in this thread 4 times with 4 different tips.

Those are sent in from different people figment - the people modelling sounds like it's members of Love It! staff.

Figmentofimagination · 25/06/2018 17:00

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

That's one of the bizarre words in English. It means the same as flammable.

Reminds me of the KFC lampshade that once appeared on the news:-

A sanitary pad on either side of your hips to add 'curves'?

Have these people ever actually seen a woman?

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 25/06/2018 19:40

These are all amazing.

I remember reading Look or similar in 6th form and they had a list of sex tips: one included spicing up your sex life by giving your OH a hand job with a pair of tights covering your hand (???)

Another tip was having sex on one of those blow up gym balls.

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 25/06/2018 19:44

Oh this thread has also reminded me of a great series of McDonalds ads with "money saving tips" including this one:

Did Pippa Middleton include these in her Party Planner book? I've read excerpts from it and it was quite similar.

AynRandTheObjectivist · 25/06/2018 19:51

Can tell you from experience that that one's a really, really, really bad idea. Unless you've got the core strength of a ROCK.

dingdongdigeridoo · 25/06/2018 20:34

Yep, this is some sage advice from Pippa Middleton, party planner: www.buzzfeed.com/alannaokun/pippa-middletons-19-most-painfully-obvious-pieces?utm_term=.jh1XOm7ro#.okdW4jqL0

  • have champagne at New Years
  • remove price tags from gifts
  • tea is very British

There was one in Cosmo once which said to tie your hair up with your used g-string after sex so your man thinks you're a fun girl.

🤢

howardmoonseyebrow · 25/06/2018 20:40

I don’t know if they pinch readers ideas but there’s one ‘reader’ name that pops up every week on these tips pages🤔

Fluffyears · 25/06/2018 20:56

Once the tip was ‘for a quieter poo with less splashbsbk put a bit of paper in the loo first’ I kid you not.

That one works.

OMG Pippa Middleton’s gift-wrapping tip - great way to make sure you get the right size of paper for the present you’re wrapping!

“Place the present on the paper to gauge how much you will need, then cut to length.”

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 25/06/2018 22:28

AynRand haha I can barely balance on one of those balls alone so it seemed completely unrealistic as a duo.

ConfessionsOfTeenageDramaQueen · 25/06/2018 22:29

Also the best review ever of Pippa's book was by Jan Moir - utterly hilarious www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2221194/Pippa-Middletons-book-reviewed-Jan-Moir-Its-perfect-needs-recipe-making-ice.html

LARLARLAND · 25/06/2018 22:49

I am really enjoying these. The bottle top drawer handles and the woman who sprayed glitter on her trainers and was subsequently the ‘belle of the ball’ are my favourites.
