Things you've tried because of MN

Philadelphia on Dark choc digestive, apparently tastes like cheesecake.

Nope - tastes like Philadelphia on a dark chocolate digestive! Disappointing

@Dullardmullard the mn haircut was about ten years ago. You put your hair into a ponytail on the top of your head, and lean over and chop the end off. I had a mullet as a result 🤣

Babyliss Big Hair.
Bought mine from a charity shop and found it okay to use but not all that great for my hair. Seems to give my hair that blown about in an open topped car feeling rather than the glamorous salon blow dry I was aiming for.
Glad I only paid £5 for it.

Not quite in the spirit, but I was told I don't have to respond to exP's texts and emails. That was a positive game changer! Now, I respond at my convenience.

I bought zoflora and ditched it inch by inch down the loo!

On the plus side, I now make my own chicken stock :-)

MN haircut - actually not terrible.
M&S beauty advent calendar - ££ but I liked it, it was fun.

Anal sex at Center Parcs

The magic three layer custard cake. Not worth the effort. Korean Italy towels - ditto.

Try M&S white Stilton with mango and ginger on a Viennese whirl (border biscuits are they best) that tastes like cheesecake, but better.

I got rid of unsightly (although hidden) skin tags at home thanks to MN. I wish I had known this 30 years ago.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cheesies, I expected them to be delicious crunchy cheese flavoured delights to have with a sherry, but they are actually tiny rock hard fragments of what might have once been cheese in another dimension.

How @ThroughThickAndThin01? I hate mine.

@ThreeKneeRepeater

De scaling your taps with a 2p coin. Nope. Kerastase shampoo and conditioner. £40 wasted. Lots of things from the fab thread a while ago regarding what supermarket gems people recommend. Love Crosta y Mollica products, Mutti tinned tomatoes, Aldi Jaffa cakes, and loads of other things I’d never have tried. Oh, and Aldi Salted Pretzel Chocolate Bars. Damn you MN.

I love Keratesse! What kind did you buy?

Timeless coloured Dulux paint. Great for hallways in the wipeable version.

Hush sweaters. Hush summer dresses.

I’ve been looking at a Janelle coat but its a tad expensive. Cheaper versions required please!

Norpak butter from Aldi - even nicer than Lurpak, it truly is.

Jamie a kit you can buy inexpensively on Amazon. Puts a tiny elastic band at the base and they drop off after about a week. Hope that helps.

• couch to 5k
• reduced alcohol to only Fri nights
• hitachi magic wand

Very happy with them all!!

Steam cleaner - shit. Just makes floor wet and emits a musty smell.

Iceland hash brown fries- greasy . Not nice

Many an aldi/lidl recommendation- yuck

Zoflora- sent ny dds into such a massive coughing amd sneezing fir I had to order covid tests. Negative thankfully and zoflora was disposed off.

The girl on the train movie- wtf was that shite.

Reusable pads and a menstrual cup- those were definitely worth it for me anyway. Very happy.

Bread maker again very happy thank u MN!

Slow cooker- love it

Reporting everything to 101

Boob or bist
Mooncup & reusable pads
Uniqlo for jeggings
Mn haircut
All worked out great for me 😁

Mooncup is also great for me although took a bit of getting used to.
Josh Wood hair colour - brilliant. Boxed colours give me ginger roots but JW didn't, the only one that's worked for me.
Many, many TV shows I would have missed if it weren't for telly addicts.
Reastie's Christmas threads!

Most books I saw recommended on mumsnet I didn't like. I do like those everyone hates though 😂

What is MN haircut?

Someone recommended Aldi fruit & nut chocolate - it was lovely

The bad:
Zoflora - overpowering and sickly.
Stream mop - overrated.

The good:
5:2 fasting - effective for me.
"All fed, nobody dead" - helped keep things in perspective after a tough day with the kids.

The best:
A satisfyer - very...satisfying

Bought it when it was on offer. 10 mins a day, 5 in the morning 5 at night, it's made a significant difference to my developing joweliness 😁
