To ask what the most BRILLIANT advice/suggestion you've seen on here is?

[SpikySausage]

Inspired by the other thread with a similar title!

Maybe not advice/suggestion as such, but I wouldn't have got my Mirena coil had I not been persuaded by the balance of views on here and enough positive feedback that it could work out well. It has been lifechanging, I wish I had done it 20 years ago, I could have avoided years of pain.

My new one is tretinoin. It's only been a few weeks but I already think I will be using this for the rest of my life. Why have I spent so much money on expensive and less efficacious creams?

Without wanting to control the direction of the thread, I wasn't thinking of LTB type advice. More immediately implementable things that someone could try today! (Although MN has definitely educated me in matters such as 'the script', narcissism, emotional abuse, and trans/gender critical matters!)

Where did you find coverless duvets? I've been looking @IBelieveinSomething

Years ago when my kids were younger and DP worked away from home in the week, I read a top tip on here to keep a spare duvet cover in each baby or toddler bedroom, folded under the window. In a fire you can put the baby in the duvet cover and lower them from the bedroom window, much less chance of hurting them than dropping them. I reckon it would work up to about age 5 or so. I never needed to actually use this tip thankfully but it gave me peace of mind for a while knowing I could probably get my young kids out safely in a fire. We were also told by the fire brigade to always have a fire plan in advance. My kids are young adults now but they still know the first, second and third choice options for escaping a fire in our house.

Yes, a family 3 doors down from me died in a fire when I was in my early 20s.

Are really good! Warm, wash and dry quickly.

No!!
Tailored trousers (most trousers actually) all get pulled into shape, creases straightened and hung from the bottom on one of those trouser hangers they come from the shop on with two little pegs.
the weight pulls them down, never need pressing or ironing, great straight creases.

Oh god. Coverless duvets best thing ever.

Great advice thanks. I didn't know either..

I cannot for the life of me understand this tip.

Super king-size duvets are wider than they are long, is that what it means? Did people not realise this?

I've never understood coverless duvets, doesn't it mean you have to wash the whole duvet every time, and how do you dry it in winter if you don't have a tumble dryer?

Oh!

To never do nothing while you wait for water to boil. Such seemingly insignificant advice but that few minutes gets something clean or the dishwasher empty. Gives me time for a task.

Horrible things. I wouldn't contemplate.

That an invitation is not a summons.

Agree, my morning routine is to put the kettle on, then while it's boiling, check litter tray, feed cats, sweep kitchen floor, and bingo, i can sit down with a coffee.

I too can not understand this simple fact.

Why not? I love mine. I use a flat sheet under it, wash that and the other sheets/pillow cases weekly, then wash the duvet quarterly. It's made my life so much easier!

I use a flat sheet under mine and just wash that but it genuinely drys in a day over the radiator in the winter.

I have two so I have one on while one drys.

What is the golden dose, please?

Do you tuck the top sheet in? I hate that, my first thing in a hotel is to untuck it, it feels like being trapped to me. If it's not tucked in then surely it moves and you'd have to wash the duvet.

The pen holds 5 doses not 4 if you do it carefully. So don't just do 4 and throw it away. It can save money. Check the weight loss jab threads for more info, I'm not an expert as I dont take it (yet...) but there's loads of people who use it.

@ThinWomansBrain

ooh is the nail varnish good for weak nails? If so what is it ?

My mum used to do this when I visited her. I hated it and the thought that the duvet cover wasn't fresh and clean.

Goose down duvet with a cotton or linen duvet cover is the way I like to sleep.

Gosh you're rude!

Didn't know this. Brilliant advice thank you

If your OH/DH wants to sell the house after/during a break up, you can hang on in there if you are married or tenants in common, they need to go to court and apply for a partition suit to force the sale. There was a poster who was advised to sit tight until her former partner had to apply for the court order to force the sale of their shared home, and, as it was during the Lockdowns, the courts had a backlog of cases, so she could just wait in the home until she was forced to sell.
Downside for her was that it was expensive, and the money was taken off the previously shared equity in the home. It's still useful to know for anyone who has money tied up in their STBX's home.

So much amazing advice but LTB was the life changer!
