As above really! What on earth are you meant to do with all the spare fabric at the top? I'd been pulling the waistband right up and under my boobs, in some sort of attempt to fashion the magic...

Didn't want to derail the other thread but was surprised to find I'm not alone in not drinking tea and coffee as people act as though I'm mad when I decline their offer. I often get the 'What do you...

Just found out my friend has chickenpox and is off work. I'm nearly 23 weeks pg. I know chickenpox can be dangerous to pregnant women and she would have been contagious the past few days (I've had a...

And how much? I fancy a glass, but we're not allowed to drink on school nights, but if hitchers drink during the week, I will, as it must be the law! I am also curious! Thank you

I'm off on holiday in a few weeks and was thinking of treating myself to a pedicure before I go, but I can only do it on the Wed before I leave (on the Sat). When I've had manicures in the past,...

Getting very annoyed with these guys now. We've had trouble with our washing machine for months, and they've been out a couple of time but it's only ever been a temporary fix. A couple of weeks before...
