Following on from my moan about putting on weight - does anyone take Cerazette (mini pill) and how do you get on with it? Since starting mine two weeks ago I've put on 3 pounds, which doesn't sound a...

So I ventured forth to the Bullring today for the first time in 7 weeks (I missed you!!!) and was MOST perturbed to see that the Fiorelli handbag shop has been replaced with a Radley one. WTF?! When...

It was released in the late 90'sish??? It was a dance track that sounded like something from the Lion King. Any ideas?

The dessert I bought from M&S that is. [minds out of the gutter icon] I find myself doing this more and more. Buying stuff that I know I shouldn't be eating and then scoffing it so fast I really...

Damn thing isn't till 4 so will sit here all day fretting. Car is 12 years old now so the last couple of years it's been a big worry that one day the cost will make it not worth doing. Can't afford a...

So I watched this and found it quite interesting and less tabloid than it could have been. But am I right in thinking that the voice-over of Elisabeth's high-school boyfriend was done by Mark off Peep...

Why why why do people do this? I was stuck in traffic last night behind an expensive Merc and the owner had bought the plate FOR11M and altered the 1's to make it "look" like FORUM. And again this...

H and I are moving to Cambridge next month as I've been offered a job there for three months. We're just looking at properties (to rent) and were considering living in Cambourne as it is a lot cheaper...

H and I are having a debate. We've been invited to a wedding that we've always assumed we're just evening. Invitation came yesterday and H told me we'd been invited all day. The invitation says "Mr...

We have some friends over for dinner on Sat and I was thinking of using a raclette I bought some time ago and have used only once! I will google some ideas for it but wondered if anyone had any...

Years ago, there was an advert (aminated, I think) that featured Slade. I can't remember the 'plot' of it but it ended up with the phrase "Noddy, you've saved the day, how can we ever repay you?" in a...

We've just about finished our living room - we've gone for white walls and one feature wall in black and we have a black suite, a black and white rug and we're accenting with duck egg blue - so far...

My neighbour has complained about parcels being left with them if we are not in. It doesn't happen often but she has complained all the same. I contacted Royal Mail who have made a note not to leave...
I had a hospital appointment today. The House Officer was wearing dark trousers (navy blue, possibly black) and had a light blue/grey short sleeved shirt on. The shirt had epulauts, although they were...
As in the subject header really. If a dress was described as being 74cm long would you think this was a smock top or longer? I've seen a dress I like the look of & was jsut going to buy until I...

Does anyone know a cheap but not snail-pace way to send a 3kg parcel? Is Parcelforce my best bet or is there another way? Thanks.
H and I would like to book a villa for later on in the year and have seen some lovely villas on Villaplus.com, however, as they are an online company we are bit dubious as to whether to book with them...

Yes, i know this is probably more of a question for Wedding Planning, and i apologise for bringing it over here, but i could really do with a more 'general' point of view - and the cynicism of Off...
