We loved the things you told us about ‘the best advice that your mother ever gave you. Here’s a sample of the entries so far, full of wise advice from caring mums…
- “Always pay for your stamps and put plenty of filling in your sandwiches.”
- “Two wrongs do not make a right…and don’t squeeze your pimples – you will regret it later, as they will scar!”
- “Never leave the house with holes in your underwear in case you have an accident. Also never be critical of others as you don’t know what your future holds.”
- “Always say please and thank you, maintain integrity in all things you say and do, stay true to yourself and strive to be the best you can.”
- “Never trust a man who doesn’t like cats.”
- “Anything worth having is worth working for.”
- “Shoulders back, tummy in, bottom tucked under, now look the world in the eye.”
- “There’s always someone worse off than you.”
- “Put Vicks Vaporub on your feet to stop a cough. It really works!”
- “Don’t go out and see the world until you’ve seen what your own country has to offer.”
- “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
- “Do it once and do it properly.”
- “Never turn down an opportunity, even if you’re not sure, as you never know where it might take you.”
- “Don’t ever sleep with your flat mates and never trust a man with eyes too close together.”
- “Try before you buy – and that doesn’t just mean clothes!”
- “Life has a way of sorting itself out.”
- “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.”
- “Don’t do anything to others that you wouldn’t like done to you.”
- “Wait another 10 years before you have kids!”
- “Live your life to the fullest, make every day count and never stop smiling.”
