I'm being a meanie - warning!

[soapbox]

Have you seen today's tip on the homepage?

Not exactly rocket science is it

Ohh let me think of one!

Putting the babies food (slop)
in a bowl before serving it to them helps save on clearing up!

Lying baby on their back helps with changing nappies!

Someone was desperate to enter the competition that week weren;t they

you meanie!

I was just thinking the same thing 10 mins ago...

If you put a bib on before feeding baby, it stops their clothes getting stained.....

I might send that one in

Haha ive never noticed the tips part before yes it is very obvious have you ever read those terrible tips pages in the rubbish mags they are so funny. One was a picture of someones fire with screwed up silver and gold paper in it apparently this is a way you can get that real flame effect for free!

pmsl, never read a tip before, will always make sure i do from now on, valuable advice

TO OCCUPY THE CHILDREN AND KEEP A CLEAN AND POLISHED FLOOR AT THE SAME TIME, YOU SEW A LOAD OF DUSTERS ON TO YOU CRAWLING BABY'S CLOTHES! OK DO I WIN????

Busy mum?To save having to waste valuable MNetting time interacting with your child, make a video of yourself, smiling and making encouraging noises such as ''well done darling'' ''ooh how clever'' ''lovely'' etc and plonk your child in front of it for a couple of hours...
Do I win?

I have sent in some really awful tips in the past in desperation to enter a comp.

dont forget to breathe out after you breathe in. this helps you avoid lung explosion

PMSL at Mud! "lung explosion"!

My favourite tip ever was the one about "Having trouble with your child wetting the bed at night? Sprinkle a layer of absorbent cat litter on the mattress - you can just sweep it up in the morning."

When I drew attention to it, Tech admitted it was probably either a wind-up or a nutcase - and he hadn't read it before putting it up (I think there's a random selection process).

I reckon that as I can never think of tips to enter competitions I might start entering stuff like yours, soapbox. Things like "Putting your baby right way up in their high-chair makes them much more comfortable and is less stressful for you. Happy baby=happy Mum."

I've always thought they were mind numbingly obvious.
It's like all that cod feng shui bollocks

'Open all the windows in the house to get a good flow of air'

Really??! You don't say....

Cod does feng shui?. Now that I would pay to see...

PML.. you are all v witty today!

My fave tip was one by (I think) Countess Dracula who said to use scissors when cutting pizza. She said it had changed her life!! So funny.

I think the pizza one - and I may be wrong - was WickedWaterWitch. Possibly...

Of course the tip moves on!

For those that didn;t see the one I was referring to it said 'use the dimmer switch or a touch lamp to keep the light down while feeding baby in the middle of the night'!

Now that's where I went wrong - forgot to employ the dimmer switch

soapy
youa re a cow face

Was that before or after my post on the other thread

It's only occurred to me in the last week or so that it's a lot easier to use kitchen scissors to cut pizza than a pizza cutter . so maybe there is a market for the most blindingly obvious tips

If a foodstuff was so flaccid as to require scissors I would seriously have to ask myself why I was contemplating eating it at all......

And getting all that cheese and grease off them.
It would be a bugger....

Who was it that said ''Dress the kids in their school uniform to go to bed. Saves time in the morning''

That was Zebra - all time MN classic

absolutely pmsl at the cat litter!
