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!)

This is adorable !

Thanks, that sounds like a good belts and braces approach, I shall give it a go tomorrow!

I went one further and bought just packs of black and packs of white sports socks for my teenage boys then left the single socks in a basket in the airing cupboard for them to root through each day. Not only did I not have to match them up, I didn’t see the clean pairs lying on the bedroom floors for weeks!

Cut dishwasher tablets in half. I learnt that here when someone said it does just as good a job, fewer chemicals and saves money

I've found so many things helpful but now can't think what they are 😄. And like a previous posted I prefer searching mumsnet to Google as you get some brilliant viewpoints

When making a white sauce, don't bother making a roux just to break it down, just put the butter, milk and flour in at the same time and whisk. Much easier.

Sod you, MrsM, home ec teacher in the 90s. This is easier and works every time.

Absolutely brilliant!

That's a good one! My grandma told me to freeze one portion whenever I cooked so there was always back up food available.

I heard a great one from a colleague about travelling with a baby, to order nappies click and collect to the Boots inside the airport (past security) so I wouldn't have to worry about fitting them in the suitcase!

Coverless duvets! So easy to wash and dry, and no more wrangling with duvet covers.

I’m another Chat GPT fan.

I’ve ask the question about new workwear, gave my size, problem areas, height etc and it’s come back with loads of fab suggestions. I also asked on here but the Style & Beauty board is pretty quiet.

I’ve also asked about various work related issues, it was like having my own personal therapist.

@Flytrap01

What actually is Grpcht - I suppose group chat? Seen it mentioned often but I am not at all techie.

Hang washing to dry on hangers. They can go on the arms of a rotary airer outside, straight into wardrobe when dry and no faffing with pegs. I have an instahanger indoors to dry clothes in winter or on wet days.

Oh my god you have literally just changed my life! I've now got a shopping list and meal plan for next week with no more than 15 min prep per meal, all freezable and from Pinch of Nom website as I am trying to be healthy! Thankyou so so much!

Not my post, but this is also my preferred bedding too. Looks so so much nicer as well.

In the winter I have a top sheet, duvet and then the quilted bedspread. During summer just the top sheet and bedspread. I've a few so I rotate, and love how my bed looks magazine-photoshoot-ready everyday.

Soolantra for acne rosacea. Disbelieving GP said "It's off label use" so I made sure I wrote to say "Please take me off the antibiotics as soolantra means I no longer need them."

A handle that you put into the frame of the car when the car door is open. You can put loads of weight on it, helps my dad to heave himself out when his knee is painful.

I like the recommendations for new decluttering ways. I've been going for years but finally, having no one in the house under 10, and having got rid of half our stuff, most of the house is reasonable most of the time.

It’s an AI app. Search the App Store for Chat GPT

A tool, this: https://aircraftvacuums.com/product/powerscrub-cordless-cleaning-kit/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping%20Product%20Feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=31085&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=22447840027&utm_content=179564479122&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22447840027&gclid=CjwKCAjwn6LABhBSEiwAsNJrjpYAFY4EHBEv2lt_WK-t-RVphW6g8oc0RL8XlwvDjsNSsztM46-2ChoCoLwQAvD_BwE

And you can ask it any question you like. It’s pretty cool.

When using your chamber pot at night don’t put it back under the bed immediately as the steam rising from it can rust the bed springs.

In your opinion is the free one useful enough?
TIA

@murasaki, @GalacticTowelMaster,
Not sure which of you had the issue with the sheets pinging off, but I've just brought 100% Egyptian cotton fitted sheets from dorma. Suitable for deep mattresses and elasticated all the way round. Pricey but I was do impressed and they have a 10 year guarantee

That’s the only one I’ve used. Sometimes it tells me I’ve used my quota of questions and to come back a few hours later. I can generally ask away though, give the free one a try and go from there. It’s bloody awesome.

Tretinoin and breathing out poos. Sorry

I assume this was the inspiration for this thread for those who asked

Whichever two socks i grab are the ones worn, matching or not
