Please can you visit www.generationone.co.uk and tell me what you see? A client appears to be having a problem with my website, but they are the only one reporting it. I suspect the page is cached, or...

I have a crappy site I built myself, and I want to point it at my new website which has a different URL. How can I do this? I'm using 1and1. ?

(also posted on BT) I'm a bit [:I] about this. Today I was voted 'Most Inspirational Businesswoman in East Yorkshire' ? I've been on Radio Humberside and I have a trophy and everything. It was...

Hmmm, I sold a pair of curtains on Fleabay. Took a photo using natural daylight, no flash and no photoshopping. I have just received an email from the buyer saying they are "too yellow" and "not the...

Has anyone applied for one of these? I am just reading through the legal jargon and it sounds both straightfoward and scary ? all that talk about appeals, rejections and court costs. You have to pay...

I have two print costs for the magazine, both identical (and the cheapest around). One uses recycled paper, soya inks and is carbon neutral - but the magazines will have to be transported 300 miles by...

I have to give a 10 minute talk to a business group on Tuesday about inspiration. I'm not feeling very inspired, or inspirational at the moment. Any ideas? ?

A local shopping centre asked me to go and do a mystery shopper type review for magazine, sounds great, a day of shopping. I have just spent 5 hours dragging a 2 year old around every male, female and...

If you're making an offer rather than paying the asking price, is there a suggested % that you should start with? Something a little cheeky, but not insulting to the owner? (and a starting point, not...

A house we are interested in has, but it also has coal fires in most rooms. I just wondered how expensive it was? I have no first hand experience ?

Is it cobblers? I have asked 2 Reike practitioners to explain it to me logically, but neither of them can. Beyond saying "energy" that can't explain it further. One yesterday was saying that it was...

The house of our dreams has gone onto the market - I've just asked for the details and it's leasehold. I spoke to the Estate Agent and he said he had a letter from the lease holder's solicitor saying...

Did I imagine this particular kleek? ? My period is 3 weeks late. I'm sure I'm not pregnant - test 7 days ago was negative, none of the usual signs etc. It's just that on the test packet it says "if...

Anyone else find these annoying? It's the implication that "you might ignore this email of mine, and I will be able to prove that you opened it!" I always click 'no' when prompted to send a receipt....

I have just sold some curtains and someone paid the 'buy it now price' seconds before the auction ends. The person that has won the auction also thinks she has won. The BIN price is more than the...

I have received an email this afternoon that has left me somewhat flabbergasted. I know that tone isn't easily conveyed in email, but this really takes the piss ? I am going to a trade show on Monday,...

I have been pondering this recently. I work from home. I always make an effort to dress in business clothes (it gets me in the zone, I couldn't work in my pyjamas) but it's always separates. I have...
