To ask what's the best piece of advice you have?

I'm in the mood for some wise words

Mine: always pee after sex

JFDI - just f*ing do it. I spend so much time dithering about a decision or procrastinating about a task I don’t fancy that it draws out the angst. So I try to apply JFDI in general and life feels that bit less stressful.

• 'Worst first' - get your most difficult or unpleasant task out of the way, rather than procrastinating by doing easy things. Whatever it is won't be any easier at 4pm than it is at 9am.

• Doing something however half-hearted and incompetent is usually better than doing nothing at all.

Its doesn't matter how you feed your baby.....bottle, breast or straight from a cow if you want!! As long as mum and baby are happy who cares!

Don't argue with a lorry

As a MIL, the best opinion to have, is not to have one.

Motherhood is overwhelming. It's okay to feel overwhelmed and don't put more on yourself for feeling bad about that

Take the photograph. No one ever wished they had fewer photos of someone they loved.

When experiencing a traumatic death of a loved one someone told me
Fighting your feelings used too much energy that you can't afford to lose. Just go with the feelings

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

You can’t change anyone else, you can only change how you react to their behaviour.

The number of threads on here asking how to ‘change’ a lazy, useless partner is depressing. Very, very few people actively change their habits, (including our own bad habits ). Either accept it or get out.

Most decisions do not require extensive research. Stop procrastinating!

If it has tyres or testicles your going to have trouble with it!
If it looks like shit,smells like shit and feels like shit ..its shit! sage relationship advice there!
If in doubt do nowt!
and lastly Smile.nod and carry on as you were!

From my boss to me a couple of years ago: you don't have to have the same life as everyone else

From Sarah Millican, advice for her from a friend:

Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel.
You stomp on down there and turn the fucker on yourself.

Don’t vote Tory.

Love is actions not words. Doesn't matter if someone is telling you they love you, if they're not treating you well and with respect then they dont love you.

Second and related to the above. Learn to stand up from the table when love is no longer being served, from the very wise Maya Angelou.

Most decisions do not require extensive research. Stop procrastinating!

Mmm....not so sure......let me think about that.

The light at the end of the tunnel is probably the front of an oncoming train.

As one door closes, another slams in your face.

Every silver lining has a cloud.

You are not as fat as you think

Never smoke
Never take drugs
Never date a drug user
Try to have children with someone you actually like

My fave mantra:

People see what you show them.

Anything that goes between you and the ground is worth spending money on. Shoes, mattresses, tyres...

If his a dickhead, ffs use a condom.

Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right trust that feeling

Be scared and do it anyway

ALWAYS take pictures, one day they will be all you have

NEVER trust a man that can undo a bra with one hand

You can let it spoil your lunch but don't let it spoil your dinner.

Heard on a podcast recently, think it may have been the happy podcast.

Wear sunscreen every day
