Phwoar, I think I've got a sebacious cyst ? Has anyone had such a thing removed? What was the scarring like? Mine is only about 4mm big so not sure what to do about it.

Sorry, posted too soon ? I love reading posts on cooking but I really resent cooking. I just don't like it. I love food and like all other 'crafts' but I just can't bring myself to get into it. For...

I've FINALLY passed my test - Hoorah! When I got home I found that my lovely thoughtful H had put P-plates on the car in acknowledgement. I wasn't planning to have them as I'm not sure what I think of...

I have had pain in my ankles and lower legs for a few weeks now it's kinda like tired legs, it's worse when I have no weight on them, e.g sitting or lying in bed. A lady I worked with suggested I...

Does anyone else remember this? It was a bit like a quiche, but served hot with a slightly softer consistency and a bit cheesier. I really want some and can't find how to make it ?

I am dismayed to report that my local Waitrose do not stock Um Bongo. I will remain on 'um bongo' watch and will report any sightings. I did ask the manager if they stock it and he looked at me as if...

If I were a naturist I think I might wear an apron when making tea. That is all.

Mr S and I are going to a posh do in London this summer, and I really want to be able to get my hair done - just a blow dry, so it stays nice for the night - when I do it myself it never stays frizz...

Never contemplated shopping there before, but went in to buy a cheap camping lamp and actually discovered that their food and stuff looks quite nice and bargain prices! It's a brand new shop too so...

I'm a thickie, I admit it lol! I'm just wondering if it's worth messing about paying in some of our ISA savings into this new Halifax account, over a 12 month period. If I paid in, say £3000 over the...

Anyone remember this? i think it was similar to carnation milk. as it is sunny outside i have had a summer-related flashback to childhood when my mother did her seasonal tea: corned beef with salad...

I have a really nice one of these banks and really don't want to smash it...but it's got loads of cash in it and I want it for my holdays. I've tried using a nail file to file down the coin slot but...

I have 4 fireplaces that keep dropping soot and I need a chimney sweep quick smart! I've never used one before so I thought I'd find out if anyone can recommend someone that's good and not too...

I am thinking of booking a holiday for Mr Caterpillar and I, in mid-September. We are keen to go to Greece - we have been to Rhodes (Pefkos) and Crete (Koutouloufari / Herssonissos) before and really...

Hi - I appreciate that this is a delicate subject but I wanted some advice. Since coming off the pill last year and going through hormone tests etc I have developed horrible spots around my neck. I...

I've been looking for a whitye skirt for a while now (not a Sinenna Miller special, just a plainish white A-line or pencil skirt) and all the wines I've tried have been horrendous - never mind VPL, V...

I work in public sector (Uni). One of my colleagues (same job, different dept), is mid 50's and male. He's bee in in the job for about 8 years, i've been in this role for almost 1. He is a very hard...

Gaaaaaaaaaah. have been off work since Thursday, feeling super-rough, and have an appointment with the doctor this afternoon. Have kept boss informed every day about how I'm feeling and doc's...

According to Sky Showbiz, Andy and Michelle Scott-Lee have split up after 18 months of marriage. I don't know why (as I don't know, or even like ?, either of them), but this has made me really sad. As...

Hi, my doctor has prescribed me citolopram and I started taking it on Friday. Since then I have been feeling more anxious than ever. Im not sure if its because of the citalopram or because Im...

Wine is bad. That is all.

I followed the recipe exactly. I have made cakes before and they have been fine but this is the first time I have used my new oven-could that be it? My plans for afternoon tea have gone horribly...

This is probably a complete long shot but worth a try. Does anyone know of any good cake shops on the Wirral? I would rather use a shop that has been recommended. I am after a cake for my sons 1st...

Does anyone have the recipe please? My friend made it for me and it was gorgeous but I can't get hold of her today. I think it involved cream cheese/creme fraiche and lemon & pepper. Thanks. ...

This happened to me tonight - fifty bloody quid. I should get a phonecall in the morning to tell me if their till was over, but what if it isn't?

I'd like to make this tomorrow, and i have bought the ingredients in my online shop - but i can't get hold of the recipe! I live miles from the nearest Sainsburys so can't pick it up in-store [hence...

Beause I think I might have to try soon, I'm going slowly insane. The people oposite are strimming their whole lawn. All of it. In between the sound of strimming I can hear the dulcet tones of a...

Nacho crisps, beef mince, covered in cheese, sour cream and guacamole? Doesn't seem like its enough of a meal to me. Am I just being greedy or are they really supposed to be just a starter?

Just text LUCY to 89198 or call **** (Calls charged at BT national rate from landlines) Lucy xxx

It won't make any real difference, will it? thanks.

I've always avoided it in the supermarket, but mr tesco has delivered two packs today. I don't know whether it's just got exposed to the air at some point or is actually bad. I wouldn't normally...
