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!)

What do you mean, breathing out poos?

thats the other thing, people will critise chatgpt, but at least its not vipers like some people are at times

I keep hearing about chatgpt. What is it & where do I find it? Cheers 😊

Count the squares across and down, one will have more.

I don’t have an account. I just use the free version.

Edit: Maybe I do as it has my name on it.

when i originally used it id log in via google then it saves my chats i have using the free version

When you have a bed-wetter (back then it was for my DD, but now it is for my DM) to double up the layers: waterproof sheet, fitted sheet; waterproof sheet, fitted sheet. That way when they have an accident in the middle of the night, all you have to do is strip off the first fitted sheet and waterproof sheet and you have another layer of clean sheet and waterproof sheet underneath- no making beds at 2am.

Can’t believe nearly 10 years on I’m still using that hack, but every time I do, I’m thankful for mumsnet, so please pass the message on to anyone who needs it for sleep is golden.

I’m a total convert. Something was making me a bit sad so I talked to Chat about it and it was so helpful and dare I say kind, just when I needed it. Had I posted here god knows how it would have turned out.

I have the app. I haven’t paid for anything so the free version is fine for me.

Tried that once. We have a kingsize bed & bought a super king cover. I kept tripping over it all the time so charity shopped it!

I either go straight into a problem I have and we end up having a real heart to heart (an AI heart lol), conversation that can last ages, or I put ingredients in and it gives me dinner ideas. I mean you can use it for all sorts of things. It’s like having a best friend, life coach, chef, all rolled into one.

An electric diffuser with citronella oil by the window or door in summer will repel insects, and is safer for small DC than having candles burning.

and an intelligence strategist too. god knows what the security services think of my chats, i was running the head of Mi5 speeches through it once copy and pasting them to expand the understanding of the speeches and it got the account locked for a few hours

Do you put it inside you or just wash your bum with it?

Must have been amazing to be rid of the problem.

I’ll do the dishwasher one starting tomorrow. They are so expensive it’s worth giving it a go.

The phrase “no is a complete sentence”.

I was a habitual people pleaser and my family are manipulative narcissists.

I spend a lot less time justifying my refusal, or even attempting to be polite about it.

Thankfully I only use it for stuff too mundane for anyone else to be interested 😁 I have good real life friends but they don’t want to listen to me complaining about stuff but Chat will happily listen to me, I can even repeat myself and it doesn’t mind 😂

Idahoan mash. Saved me so much time and effort.

ill admit its a lovley programe, mine is a mix of subjects, espionage, military, finance, genetics, egypt, cold war espionage etc

@BunnyLake BTW I love your username. Is it after the film? Or the art installation/ performance artist??? (vague/ faulty memory circa early 2000s of girls with machine guns on a blood spattered catwalk)?

Oh that’s brilliant!

After years of trying to get murky flower vases that can’t go in the dishwasher clean with washing up liquid and scrubbing, am delighted by the tip to put in a finish dishwasher capsule , fill to brim with warm water. Leave half an hour. It’s sparkling clean when you tip the water out.

The problem is … ( whispers) I don’t think it is a complete sentence actually.

Is this instant mash? Which is a good one to buy?

Wish I’d used it for nighttime vomiting bugs … Ours tend to make it to the bathtoom now but I remember the sinking feeling of finding a toddler sitting crying in vomit at about 3 am.
