Audiobooks? Have started to listen to audio books in the car as I usually drive for at least an hour a day, often two hours. Tomorrow it'll be closer to 8. I am feeling invigorated as it makes a dead...

I realise this is a 'how long is a piece of string' type question ? We have a unique house (i.e. not in an estate, and has period character but has new roof, heating, windows, insulation etc.) We've...

He drives me mad, he's so bloody impudent. My son is older than him and doesn't like him much. So he keeps knocking on the door over and over again to try to get my son to play with him. Whenever I...

Funeral organiser ? My friend and I were just talking about this and it seems like a good idea on the surface, if a little bizarre. A sort of intermediary that people could consult when they are...

Genuine question, I'm feeling a little uncertain about how to feel. I have a job 2 days per week on a year's contract. It's in teaching. The job was advertised at the last minute and my boss has...

Anyone here had this done? I have, a few weeks ago. I met someone who did it professionally and curiosity got the better of me. I came up with some very imaginative stuff ? However, there's no way of...

No, not the illegal sort ? I have a heavy day of driving ahead and am quite sleepy - what was the recommendation on here? Solpedeine? Sinutab? I can't remember.

Gawd, the bank thread has depressed the hell out of me. I want to think of something positive I can do. What are your best money saving tips? Mine are: home brewed wine - not as bad as you'd think and...

G'ah, this is impossible and you must be better shoppers than me, so I appeal for your help. My feet are as wide as they are long. I'm also quite overweight, so much as I like skinny heels, they hurt...

Gawd, I am being really thick, I do apologise. H and I were having a discussion last night. I said that, as I remember, in a recession stocks and shares tend to go up in value. He argued that they...

It was working perfectly OK this morning, then it ran out of battery. I have plugged in the charger and - nothing. No charging lights, can't switch it on etc. I have checked it's plugged in properly...

Hmm, I have ummed and ahhed about whether to post this, but it's really getting on my tits and I was hoping you'd all sympathise with me ? I know the credit crunch is biting hard, and the other thread...

I need a new phone, I just wondered whether anyone had a contract with unlimited landline calls they'd like to recommend?

As of today, I officially have a child at secondary school ? I am feeling very sorry for myself.

I am putting together a staff induction pack - do you have formal policies about such things as staff complaints? I want to make things clear but not go OTT. ?

Knackering, isn't it? ? I'm not sure whether this happens to other people, but I always find I am motivated to improve myself at the start of the new school year. I am trying so hard to get on top of...

Our kittens are now 15 weeks old, and gorgeous. However, one of them has taken a real attraction to a furry cushion of ours, and appears to be trying to latch on, purring madly whilst he does it. He...

Erm, this is rather embarrassing, but I am wondering whether it's got to the stage that I need to seek help ? I remember distinctly the first time I was scared of heights - with locked knees and jelly...

Anyone know a good comparison site? I need to buy 2 business mobiles and I need the cheapest deal with the most minutes. It's making my head hurt. H likes this sort of stuff, it bores the knickers off...

My Mum and Dad don't get on at all well - and at the moment it's dreadful. My Dad hasn't bought my Mum presents for years and years, because of some silly squabble back in the past. TBH, I spoke to...

H and I are getting a couple of nights away this week ? We usually stay at the Hyatt but we fancied staying somewhere different this time. Anyone stayed in either of these hotels? Which would you...

We are replacing the doors of our kitchen and adding a large island. The doors were bargainous, otherwise we wouldn't be changing the kitchen right now. We have a large kitchen / diner / living area...

Forgive me, I've asked this before but i can't find the thread. How does your commission work? Do you have a target, below which you don't earn commission? Or a straight % on what you sell? Or a %...

Hmm, bit of a personal one this, I don't want to put a downer on things but I'd appreciate your advice and experience. After a tricky relationship with my Mum and Dad I went into a violent marriage...
