I'm pretty sure you can get newish books in paperback from Airport shops before they go on general release in paperback, but Mr Hole thinks I'm 'having a moment'. There's a book I'd like but it's in...

Well where to start, H and I got married in France two months ago, H’s parents live there and we love the area so we thought it would be a lovely place to get married. For those who don’t know about...

TS are coming round to give me a quote for venetian blinds. On the phone they were v keen to ensure that both H and I would be there, which to me is the sign of hard sell shysters (they want to close...

I had a shower this morning, used copious amounts of my normal deodorant as usual, but I think I can smell myself. [:'(] Could it be my top maybe? It's freshly washed and fesh on today but... I am...

Hi, Was wondering if anyone could offer some advice from personal experience. I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year and have been on 50mg of amitriptyline at night. For months it worked a treat...

I have looked up sending cupcakes, but can't seem to find a decent one that will deliver outside of London (specifically Surrey). Any ideas of what else I can send please? Looking to spend no more...

I've noticed that I'm getting a callus on my hand, just below where my ring finger joins my palm. I think its because I wear my wedding ring when I go to the gym. Does anyone else get this? I also get...
