Crap Tips

'Things to do with...plastic cd cases. Save lots and paint them with letters for a giant scrabble board'

This handy tip was in last weeks Pick me Up magazine. Why!? and What!?

Share some please, real or made up. I need cheering up.

Forced to wear a dress of blood is disappointing. As was 'cured by a crane'. The headlines always suggest so much more than the article actually delivers.

I LOVE this thread, am laughing out loud at some of the photos.
Have a confession to make though - I was IN a PMU article once

OOh Edward Bear elaborate please

I think when I told my best friend, Laura, that she ought to put on suncream for our girly holiday in Turkey, she may have taken it too literally!

that doesn't even make any sense.

It was in 2006 when DS1 was little.
I was on the 'Due in October' thread on Bounty and became close to a few other Mum to be's too.
One of the girls knew someone who 'wrote' for PMU and she ended up doing a story on us being 'Bump Buddies' from all over the country and how we are all so different but pulled together etc etc.
They paid for us all to meet up in the middle of where we all lived and we had a lovely knees up out of it.
Most of us are still close friends and speak daily, so its quite a nice thing to look back on. I've got a copy of PMU with the article in inside DS1's baby memory book (he'll be so proud lol)
What they wrote about me, although totally different from what I actually said, wasnt too bad. They wrote that friend wet herself and went to hospital thinking her waters had broken though. She was not impressed pmsl.

Wonder if they keep old editions online?

Oh, back now- 'just on 'Eaten By an Escalator'.

Go to page 15, hubby in the nuddy, oh dear!

Things to do with old cassette tapes:

Attach string through each hole to create a necklace.

TDWP- it's all I can do to stop myself joining him in the shower, too

'If you're serving breakfast and run out of egg cups, the tube inside a roll of wrapping paper is a perfect replacement. Just cut into smaller sections and balance the eggs on top.'

By which she means she used toilet rolls, but thought it sounded unhygienic.

Have we had: "Save money on expensive binoculars - stand closer to the object you want to look at"

The picture looks distinctly phallic too, or is it just me?

Nobody in the history of the planet has ever run out of egg cups.

Novelty egg cups, oversized egg cups from previous years Easter eggs, wedding day egg cups still lurking because they don't really break.

Would anyone like some egg cups?

These are really scary. Are these people real do you think, or are they wind ups?

Actually, I recently couldn't find ours and so cut up the egg box and put the eggs in that. (my own crap tip)

Why would anyone take a picture of this shrub anyway?

TDWP - a much better tip than using the inside of a bog roll. Have you considered sending it in?

My boobs look like a bottom

I want to know why Gillian Jackson of Todmorden, West Yorkshire no longer needs her road safety arm band and can therefore spare it to put on her dog's collar. Did she lose an arm?

It is a better tip! maybe I will.....

"Cut out your name and address from the envelopes you receive in the post. They're very handy to stick on competition entries as it saves you writing your address out over and over again!"

Aah, now I understand the type of person who sends these in. Thanks, Julie Barrett from Devon.

And how on earth did that orange woman discover that potato peeling gets rid of fake tan streaks? It's not something that would immediately spring to hand in the bathroom, is it?

MN is cracking me up today - and it's all DWP's threads.

Have you had a lot of coffee or something Primark?

It's the pop-eyed look on the poor dog's face - it's obvious the bloody thing is far too tight. I'd be woried if my arm was as wide as my dog's neck. Perhaps the dog bit her arm off for trying to strangle it with reflective armbands.
