Ok mumsnetters, I have a bet with my husband and I need to win. He always wins this kind of stuff so I'm cheating my arse off and asking for help...

If you've ever perused one of those magazines at the doctor's, like Chat or Take A Break, you'll know that by far the best section is the "tips" page. These are honestly the most hilarious and awful tips you have ever read in your life and the best ones win a small cash prize. Well DH and I are competing to win said riches. I need to think up the most useless and cringey tip, with accompanying tacky description. Here's a link to some corkers so you get the idea.

No pressure here, but he won Valentine's Day, he's not getting this too.

Pop a cake of soap into the foot of some old panty hose, tie a knot to hold the soap firmly in place and cut off the excess hose. Now you can give your skin a light loofah when you wash!

You need to add that ‘you can even choose your favourite scented brand’ for added freshness.

Here's one ! Don't throw away old telephone directories. .....go through them , crossing out all the names of people you don't know. You will then be left with a useful address book !

Want long lasting nail polish? Colour your nails using a Sharpie in your favourite colour. For extra gloss, pop a layer of top coat on and you’re done!

That is actually true. Google it.

Ok, I've gone with the panty liner sweat patches. I included the bit about the different scented ones. I shall update you all in due course. Needless to say, I'm choreographing the dance already.

Ok OP, brace yourself I’ve got a winner.

Inspired by the good folk of mumsnet and their obsession with zoflora and this threads apparent obsession with sanitary towels I give you....

Tired of walking into a foosty smelling house? Liberally soak a sanitary towel in your favourite scented zoflora and stick it to the back of your radiator. The scent will perfume your home for weeks (--just make sure not to use scented always Envy
