Crap Tips

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

'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.

Lo, thinks I've gone mad, tears rolling down, nose snorting, banging desk top in hysterics

Thank you for this thread, its hilarious

Don't buy expensive "ribbed" condoms, just buy an ordinary one and slip a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.

Genius!

PEOPLE whose surname is Toblerone should always take along an empty 'Toblerone' chocolate box when attending interviews for office jobs. This would save your potential employer the expense of having to make a name plaque for your desk, and therefore increase your chances of getting the job.

Crap Tip : eat plenty of roughage.

Oh god those readers tips are shocking in take a break (or similar standard issue stereotypical housewifey mags). Bird feeders out of a pinecone and peanut butter, a bar of soap inside a pair of 40 denier tights (colour: california tan) and put inside your knicker drawer keeps em smelling fresh. There's always a picture of some grotty greasy looking simpleton beaming like a cheshire cat proudly at their shite invention as well.

From Mr KVL 74IY, Lincoln:
Save money on expensive personalised car number plates by simply changing your name to match your existing plate.

I also saw one where they advised saving up beer cans and glueing them together to make a table. It must have been students having a laugh. But why did they publish it?

Oh I'm weeping at this thread.

Did you notice that canny pink haired Nikki recycled her own shopping-list-in-cupboard-tip?

I wonder if she got paid twice..?

I love the tip on page 372. "After I had decorated our living room I couldn't find any nice pictures to put up, so I made my own finishing touch. I got a cuddly toy dragon from a toyshop and attached it to the wall with nails".

Why?!

Oh god shona that link is ace, the one about the chewing gum mint leaves on the next page is a cracker!

Look at the fake tan picture, she's red ffs!

I am racking my brains now for a tip I can send off.

Oh no wait we have a new winner, greeting card confetti! If some fucker chucked that at me after my wedding I would cheerfully knock them into next week.

"If you want a new sofa but don't have the money, just brighten up the one you already have with some dye. My mother-in-law suggested I colour my cushions red. Don't they look great! "

No they farking well don't. It looks like you couldn't afford a new sofa or enough dye to dye the whole thing.

Oh god the fake tan one, why the hell was she rubbing potato peelings on herself FFS? This is the best thread for a while, I am PMSL.

"deter those unwanted salesmen by leaving used nappies and hypodermic needles littered around your front door"

If you take a drink up to bed, stop dust from getting into it by putting a coaster over the top. Then you can sleep easily knowing your drink will stay clean and clear the whole night through.

wiggleworth yes, why was she rubbing potato peelings on herself?

I thought you might like to see a photo of my 17-year-old cat, Jess, after she had enjoyed licking my chocolate mousse pot!

How on earth is that a tip??

Look at the Jade Goody question on the LHS. Who the feck is going to take the time to answer I don't know? What kind of people take this magazine seriously?

This has to be the winner, just why?

Who is going to take time to click 'I don't know' ?

If you get stuck on puzzles or crosswords, leave your copy of Pick Me Up open on the puzzles page, with a pen, in your bathroom. If you're lucky, your hubby or family will help you out while on the loo! Here's a photo of my other half, Matt, demonstrating.

[weeps]

the push on light on the tiny little mirror made me lol
