Sorry to be cheeky, this is a work related thing again. But I need the general consensus. We're doing a show in a couple of weeks and I want to have some large A1 foam boards made of some of our...

Hmm, I've had a very lucky escape. We were invited to some friends for a bonfire party last night. Usually we only go to professional events as I don't really think fireworks are appropriate for...

I sent an email to a group of people I am working with, praising their efforts to date and (v. briefly) giving my vision of how the project should go forward. Honestly, I was sending minutes over and...

Dear MIL I apologise for writing you a letter when I should speak to you in person. This is a difficult situation and I wish there were an easy way to find a solution. I am increasingly concerned...

I have lots of people to say 'thank you' to, so I thought I'd buy them a Christmas present. Problem is things are a bit tight ? Some need to be postable, but I'd like something that would really stand...

I'm still taking Prozac for PND. Recently I went cold turkey because I'd been feeling so much better recently, but it wasn't successful. However, it was interesting. For the first time in months I...

Hi ya Could you give me some advice please? We've had a problem recently with clients who book website ads then don't send over the artwork and refuse to pay the invoice as they claim we haven't given...

This song has been on the radio twice in the last 24 hours and I'd forgotten how ace it was ? It's one of the only 80s songs that hasn't been overplayed to the point of boredom. The lyrics make me...

Argh, it's driving me mad. We have a sort of garage / car port on the side of our house - our side door (which we use as the front door) is there. It's like a garage - i.e 3 walls and a ceiling, but...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeoKQbT8BKs I want to use this tomorrow in an assembly about the changing global workplace and I remembered it to be highly relevant. However, having viewed it again,...

With 300 year 9 students ? (aged 13 - 14 for non teachers) Any advice? I thought I'd be cool but I am utterly bricking myself ??

I am working at a hotel lobby. I REALLY need a wee. If I leave my laptop it might get nicked. If I take it with me, my nice settee and plug will be taken, and I won't be able to work my laptop. What...

I've ummed and ahhed about posting this because I know deep down there's nothing I can do, but I'm frustrated and upset and worried. H is an Assistant Head at a school that's just about got itself out...

H's Maiden Aunt is a pain in the arse of Hitched legend. Last time we spoke she told me that the rest of the family had consulted and decided that Charlie was too old for nappies and should be potty...

I love my Mum, but she is terribly self centred, sometimes selfish and utterly incapable of being able to see something from someone else's perspective. We don't always have an easy relationship - not...

Look what I found https://subversivecrossstitch.com/ ? I am so going to make the 'irony is not dead' one for my kitchen ?

Argh, today is challenging for the following reasons: 1) I have shingles 2) My staff are all getting huffy with each other and it's really really pi[/s]ing me off. Handbags have been drawn. 3) Spent...

Hi Swamps How is Elizabeth? And Hammer - and you? I don't post as often as I'd like, but I do often think about you ? Hope all is well.

It's our 5 year anniversary tomorrow ? Tonight Dom and I are having a date at home - he has brought home duck for me to cook - any ideas? Something informal - we usually sit on the lounge floor on...

I'm doing an induction review of my first employee today, and am trying to put together a series of questions for her to reflect on, that will form part of her one month review. She's performed very...

What would be in yours?

Do you use a square tin and then cut up the cakes or something different?

You have to be prepared to admit it ? I just wondered whether anyone had any old copies with the Lego vouchers they didn't want? If so, could I be cheeky and ask you to pass them on? Happy to pay...

Have just been and got both my kids' Christmas presents, and wrapping paper, and hope to have them wrapped and finished tonight. I spent £30 each. Am well chuffed - we spent a silly amount of money...

Https://www.fawnandforest.com/blog/2008/6/16/108-project-melted-crayon-cakes I don't want to knacker my cooker - I can't work out whether the oven would need to be very hot or cool.

Looks like I am getting a share of a Wii. I think I diddled myself there ?

Quote from AQA website (exam board): "It’s a fact that AQA is the UK’s favourite exam board" If the exam board can't distinguish a fact from an opinion, no wonder they can't mark GCSE papers ?

I am being bullied by an older woman. I am so pissed off it's untrue. This woman attends lots of the business networking groups I go to. For ages she was very, very friendly - obsequious really. Then,...

Forgive me, it's early, but thoughtful / handcrafted ones take some planning ? I'm not spending much on Christmas this year, so am trying to think of some lovely, personalised, low cost ideas. Two I...

Ah, one of my 16 week old kittens has a grim habit - he likes to suck and suckle things - and sometimes he persuades his brother to do it too. He had a favourite cushion, which we moved, and he didn;t...

I'd be happy to pay the value of the coupon ? Bit of a long shot, but I thought it was worth asking ?

Anyone else like this? I constantly feel a bit overwhelmed and I'm not sure how other people manage. I like my life - all the elements make me happy - but sometimes I just want to go and hide for a...
