Hmm, can I ask you a question. We are about to put our house on the market. It's a well presented, redeveloped cottage in the higher sales price bracket of houses in this area. We've had quotes from...

Does your family have a particular attitude to leaving messages? My Mum calls on the landline, leaves a message if we're not in (or not answering) and I call her back when I get a chance - usually...

I'm working in a hotel cafe, and there's a bloke in here whose phone has rung twice. Ringtone one was a very loud wolf whistle. Ringtone two was the theme from the Benny Hill Show. What do you reckon?...

OK, so this is a 'how long is a piece of string' type question, I suspect. I'd like to get a piece of software written, in Excel probably. A management tool that summarises how much has been sold, how...

Adams (the childrenswear shop) owes my business several hundred pounds. It was their Hull branch that booked the advert, but they have since announced they are going into administration. However, they...

We're currently decorating our kitchen / diner. The kitchen is quite dark, so we're having white walls, some tongue and groove, white ceilings and oak worktops. Some of the kitchen doors are a pale...

I apologise if this is in the wrong place or is insensitive, but I don't really know who to ask. I am not seeing my GP for another 2 weeks, and the support worker assigned to me at the local Mental...

Sorry for the crap title, I have been umming and ahhing about whether to put this on here for ages. However, I know you all quite well and have been here for 5 years +, so I thought a little honesty...

This is driving me bloody mad, so I hope someone can hope. I have a digital SLR so the pics I take are massive. I just want a really quick way to make them small enough to upload quickly - probably...

So sorry for being selfish. I really need to talk to someone, but I don't know who. I know you are a bunch of strangers, but sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers than people you know. I am...

Hi ya, long time no see. How are you getting on? I have been thinking about you. How are Elizabeth and the baby doing?

I'm looking for a birthday present for my 12 year old. He would like to listen to music, and it seems a bit daft getting 2 things. On the other hand, I understand that iTunes is AAC format, not MP3,...

Righto, I have iTunes and, until now, I have been burning things to CD. However, last week I got an MP3 player and I found out that you need an iPod to download from iTunes. What happens if you have...

I had a roood dream about you last night ? You were a teenage boy and I was a teenage girl. I remember thinking "cool, I can absolutely confirm on Hitched that Chicken is a man" ? You had a yellow T...

I need some advice. In my small business there is me and the Sales Manager. The SM attracts and closes all the sales, I do everything else. We are advertising for a Production Co-ordinator to take on...

Right, I am saying this out loud in public for a reason "Claire, meet the end of the line. Do not pass it, do not collect £200, otherwise you will have a nervous breakdown" I have been...

? How do you make them stoooop? ? Do they ever get better without surgery?

This is probably a bit of a stupid post because, really, your life isn't mine. But I feel knackered and under so much pressure I can't see my way out of it at the moment. I need a holiday, but I can't...

Today I was working with a colleague I don't actually know very well. We have had lots of meetings, both together and with others present, but it's quite formal. Today, after a long meeting, we had...

Did anyone else feel bloody wonderful a couple of weeks after stopping anti ds? I went cold turkey about 3 weeks ago (I know, I know, but my prescription ran out and I didn't get it renewed quickly,...

A few weeks ago I did something to my right ankle - I have no idea what, it must have been mild as I can't remember - but my ankle really hurt and it literally took weeks to stop hurting. Yesterday,...

My 3 year old has been stung by a bee on his eyelid. It happened this morning. We carefully removed the sting without squeezing the venom sack, and bathed the area in a solution of bicarb of soda....

A new client has signed a contract to say that they would take X for £X. We have a clear paper trail and we have always been very transparent about what the price included. Now the first invoice has...

My 12 year old son's best friend has had two weeks off school so far, and his Mum has said he won't be back in for another 3 months, because he's constipated. The doc has prescribed laxatives and...

Comments from PIL today (after telling them I had joined Slimming World) FIL: If you lost some weight, you'd be gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you ? MIL: despite your weight you...

I'll probably ramble A bit here, apologies in advance if I do. Would you take a job that had lots of potential if the salary was rubbish? Ot are the employers taking the piss - even if you're...

I only usually have mild hayfever, some years it doesn't bother me at all. This year it's dreadful - my eyes nose and throat really burn. Is anyone else experiencing similar? We live rurally and this...

What would you spend your winnings on? Assuming it's enough so you never need work again. I would live in a cottage that's a bit ramshackle and chaotic, but filled with stuff I like. I would pay...

We live in a cottage - the original bit was built in 1850, but the vast majority of it is a modern extension, built 2007. So it is both period and contemporary, which makes decorating complicated! All...

I am really worried about my brother and H is getting a bit sick of me going on about it ? His relationship is failing, he has nightmare neighbours, serious debt problems and two jobs. He's being...

I am a bit worried about wasting the doctor's time. I know that's feeble, sorry. I have shingles again, it came up last night. V painful, not the first time this has happened, but copable. However,...
