...do you and your OH split the maintenance 50/50 even if, biologically, the kids aren't yours? Sounds incredibly petty, but am I being unreasonable for saying to H that I'd rather not help foot the...

Looking at U2 tickets on level 5, East stand as only ones available from ticketmaster but not having been there, am wondering are these even worth having? I'm thinking it's a no-brainer, perhaps? I...

I've always had a little darkness under my eyes - I think it's hereditary - but it seems to have got worse in the three years since turning 30. I keep seeing pics of me with my eyes looking all small...

I wonder if such a thing exists! I've always had difficult skin, as I get rosacea, spots and I am quite pale. I really want to find out what to do with my skin as it can look so red, and blotchy and...

OK, so I've got a MovieMail voucher that's about to expire, and they're doing a Studio Ghibli sale that means I can probably snap two DVDs up for virtually no actual cash... ...so which of their films...

Seriously? WTF? Go to work nude "to improve communication and productivity"?

We started a little early on the Mojitos this evening. We then watched last nights Psychoville. On Psychoville some of the characters were dancing to Black Lace's 'Superman'. I joined in and only...

They have something online which they don't do instore. If they do, how long does it take to be delivered? It's a samsonite bubble pop up travel cot. I was only going to pay with points cus I've got...

I really struggle with this- shirts tend to gape and sadly I haven't found one that is small enough on the waist while encompassing my boobs adequately. High necks look matronly and give me mono-boob,...

Is this ok to do!? We are having 20 people around on Sat night and are doing burgers and hotdogs for midnight snacks. Rather than H getting the bbq out drunk at that time would it be ok if I cooked...

Do they not do them in leather any more? Or corduroy? Or did they never do them in corduroy and I'm thinking of another type of Ikea sofa? I have the leather Ektorp one and would like another one, but...

H's office has a regular cook off for office workers / other halves. I sent in a fruit cake today that went down really well and the next challenge is lemon meringue pie. I've never made this before...

And it was amazing ? Didn't have high hopes tbh as I would have never classed myself as a fan. I got the tickets for H as his main birthday gift for his 40th. But I was totally blown away, singing...
