I worked in a building society many years ago when everyone had a passbook!! An eccentric older lady (who had lots of money!!) said “I want to give you something”. In anticipation I smiled giving my best attention………………
“Don’t try and keep up with the Jones’s - and she left!!!!!
Great my name is Heather Jones!!!!!

This saying originated from a 1913 comic strip in a newspaper., called Keeping up with the Joneses It depicts the social climbing McGinis family, who struggle to "keep up" with their neighbors, the Joneses .

The best piece of advice I have given was to my husband who had not had his eyes checked for many years. I almost dragged him to the optometrist and he was immediately sent to the Eye specialist with glaucoma so severe that he would have been blind within 6 months.

Both my Mum and Dad used to tell me not to say “I don’t know” but rather to say something like “I don’t know that YET”!

 

[Mack07]

This might not be the most important thing my father said but I always remember it. When doing a job do it once and do it well

 

[Bullwinkle]

Be careful with your words, once they have been spoken they can only be forgiven but not forgotten

 

[Nana Zorak]

The best piece of advice I ever had & now pass on to everyone else.' Is believe in yourself & love yourself ' because you can only rely on yourself!

 

[Nolaj]

"Love is a verb" .. anyone can say they love you, but the proof is in their actions.

 

[Nolaj]

You cannot help someone in a hole by getting in there with them.

 

[Pat T]

It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

My Dad always told me to keep an eye on drunk people. He told me that drunk people can't lie. It's taken me a long time to understand what he meant by that.

Life's too short to wear tight shoes

 

[Chezsh]

The BEST advice is not to worry at bedtime. Solutions always come easier after a good nights sleep. In the morning if you don’t have a solution your friends will be awake and you can share a problem. In verbalising your worry you often see the answer yourself. Thanks Dad

 

[Jethrotull]

Never nurse a mug, because they will die in your arms…

 

[Rainy]

Best advice: Turn off your Wi-Fi router and devices for a much better sleep at night.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty !

Advice from a university lecturer that I never forgot- Don’t jump on every bandwagon as some lead to funerals. Great advice when you work in education as someone is always coming up with “new” ideas on how best to teach children.

Best piece of advice: CLEAN UP and prepare BEFORE going to bed to start a new day fresh. 1. clean up and put away any items in lounge, fluff pillows. All electricals off at power points. 2. Clean up kitchen and prep oats, yogurt and fruit in jar in fridge for breakfast. Approximately 10 minutes
