Read this 20-odd years ago in Cosmo and have never forgotten it:

"Men like large dark nipples, so why not draw around yours with an eyeliner pen?"

Off to hunt for a 2p piece...

I'd get the thread removed to protect the privacy of your sink OP.

You're not a proper mumsnetter then, if you were you wouldnt have seen an actual piece of money since 1987

Or permanent marker if he’s really keen.

I need a top tip for getting eyeliner out of a bra.

Yabu; rice, never nachos

Lifehack; always have boiled rice available in case it's chilly out.
But if it's chilly con carnage, stay home and stay safe.

RonsNotWrong · 19/08/2024 08:17

Why does it have to be Tim?

Because Tim is very good at pressing hard to get the liquid out, apparently

I have a Tim for this….he drains things, cuts grass and occasionally throws his clothes in the corner of the room. He’s my Tim though, not anyone else’s.

Now you are just being selfish...😀

It's easier to wipe your arse sitting on the toilet.

I can't work out if this is a joke hack or meant seriously (in the context of the rest of the post).
How else would anyone wipe?

Possibly boring but it blows my mind every time! 1p or 2p to rid limescale off of taps (or anywhere - used it on the outside of a kettle yesterday!).

Does it work with a credit card? Largely cashless now...

reallyworriedjobhunter · 19/08/2024 09:41

Does anyone have that one weird tip that melts belly fat that doctors in your area don't want you to know about?

Set your iron on high and go to town on it. Bonus lifehack; it also takes out the wrinkles on your face.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 19/08/2024 10:50

OMG. Do you think this would work the other way round? So if my cat got weighed holding me, then I weighed myself I'd know how much my cat weighed?

Nah. Not buying it. Sounds too easy.

Life hacks? Pfft. More like scams. Scams, I tell you!

What on earth makes you think a cat will subject itself to weighing?!!

XChrome · 19/08/2024 21:04

The life hacks are all hilarious, but the funniest bit is all the people who don't get the joke.
Epic thread, all. 👏

Why all this fuss about draining a can of tuna? Simply book yourself a holiday to Hawaii, charter a fishing boat, catch a tuna, bring it home, gut it, eat it
No mess in sink

There is a complementary therapy centre near me that used to distribute a newsletter to nearby homes full of articles by their therapists, some sounding reasonably sane, some not. Highlight of my week when this arrived. The most batshit entry I ever remember (from a crowded field) was the 'therapist' who charged some exorbitant sum to mugs people who would then spend their appointment admiring her collection of little jars filled with coloured liquid and talking about how they made them feel. At the end of the appointment they got to take one or two home with them. I suppose you might have got a useful jar or two out of it. Hmm

To be fair, it’s probably as legit as quite a lot of accepted complementary therapies. (I say that as a trained and qualified hypnotherapist).

Bignanna · 19/08/2024 21:29

Hope that’s not oil draining into the sink!

Lab rats like me always enjoy filmed science reports that involve shelves of (uncoshhed) coloured liquids for effect, but perhaps it's actually some sort of mental health initiative.

OMG one of my uni friend’s parents invented that scam. Licensing it made them enough money to buy him a beautiful terraced house in Greenwich and a TVR sports car, aged 18. They were loaded.

I had no idea it was still going…
