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!)

yes, isn't it great!

Or just throw a handful of porridge oats or chopped up stale bread in the pan to soak up the fat and pop it in a Tupperware style container in the fridge to put out for the birds next day. You can add a handful of chopped peanuts or bird food if you are feeling generous but it’ll all get eaten even without.

It posted a very nice rum baba recipe!

Hairspray is however brilliant for getting lipstick out of anything washable. Soak it with spray and wash whilst wet. It got a bright red dog chewed lipstick off an almost white cushion cover. Dog needed a bath too 🤷‍♀️

I do exactly the same but a normal duvet and duvet cover. Wash the sheet and pillow cases weekly, the duvet cover quarterly. Looks pretty too.

It’s worth noting that a pharmacist can dispense antibiotics for a uti or minor infection. No appointment needed, just walk in and ask to speak to the pharmacist. 18 months ago the gp route took me 4 days to get antibiotics over a weekend. Last month I went into a boots pharmacy on a Saturday and walked out with antibiotics in about an hour. That’s a lot of discomfort avoided!!

What a pfb?

Thank you very much @IBelieveinSomething 🙏

Further up the thread I said I thought it was a mini-typo for PBF= plant based food. Not 'precious first born' as someone suggested - not in a stew at least.

And to cut up
eat for small children. So much easier and quicker than a knife and fork.

🤣🤣. I think the op used it like soap to wash the fissure area with it.

Tops (tshirts etc) you hang from the bottom. Bottoms (trousers) you hang from the top (waistband).

Which is totally logical. I do it. Dp doesn't consistently, and I have to go out and re hang it. Grrr.

Hand sanitizer gets sharpie off a freezer bag.

So will hand sanitizer.

When I used to make play dough for the children, the oil/salt/flour type, I always used to put a dribble of Zoflora in it to make it smell nice. My daughter said the other day that Zoflora smells like play dough 😂😂

This is me too - am peri and just can’t drink at all. And don’t feel any bloody better for not doing!

I freeze it in these containers and once frozen, take it out and put in a ziplock bag to save space (and give you your container back to reuse). I hug ave a freezer full of these ‘bricks’ that I just pop back in the origins container to cook/heat up.

Real nappy use advice. I bought an amount of fleece material from the haberdashery and cut it to strips. It draws the moisture away from the baby’s skin. My mum was so shocked and then upset at why nobody had told her than when we were babies as our bums were so sore. No option for disposable then.

WD40 takes it off. Mayonnaise works too but you have to let it soak in for a while.

I realised that after posting it 😆

What might that be please?

Making my way through this thread so sorry if you’ve already answered but what ratio of washing up liquid and vinegar did you use? Thanks!

Biore Aqua Rich. It's Japanese, but it's now available in Superdrug. I don't think I like the spray on version that's new this year, but I've only used it once.

Check out the Beauty of Joseon sun stick! It's so so brilliant, doesn't shine or feel sticky and a great base for makeup.
