As the title really. Got friends coming over for a couple of bottles of wine tomorrow night, and was thinking I might try making guacamole as I don't like the prepared one we can get from the...

We have a swimming pool on our holiday park, and our park residents are insured to use it, but as far as I understand it, our insurance wouldn't cover someone who wasn't staying at the park. We have a...

Our digital camera is poorly, and I can't live without one! Our current camera is a Sony Cybershot 7.2mp I like it, but do get frustrated by the lag between pressing the button and it actually taking...

I have been too soft on our tenants, trusting their story that they'd had a temporary blip in their finances ar Christmas, but that they would be able to catch up the arreers, and then letting payment...

My laptop is starting to give up the ghost, and its my birthday coming up, so H has kindly offered to get me a new one. I know people rave about their Macs, but is it worth looking at one if I'm...

Need to change contracts as my reception with 3mobile is rubbish. Have been googling for offers, particularly O2 as H has good reception with them where we live, and found 10 and 11mths free line...

The tenants in our house are a young couple with a toddler. M works full time an MacDonalds and S works part time in Pizza Hut, so hardly big earners, but for the last 6mths they have paid their rent...

Just had this email from a friend..... The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed 'too British'. Organisers of the event say that...
