Prepare to be converted ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/8071865.stm (Non-atheists- am not laughing at J, by the way, just at this particular manifestation ?)
Am fretting over flight times- WWYD? We are going to Venice for a long weekend (Friday-Sunday) in July. We need to leave the children with my parents (2 hours from us in London, an hour from Heathrow)...
Has your dress come yet?
Waah, I'd never heard of these but it seems that discussion of them has filled up half the interweb. Introducing the cockbib https://www.jezebel.com/cockbibs-keys-to-not-getting-a-blow-job-5261578...
My mother wants to go to Majorca. I've never been there but always thought it was v touristy (something my mum would not enjoy) but she says apparently half the island is touristy and half is idyllic....
Hmmph, we were supposed to be going to a friend's barbecue in Surrey today. The children and I set off just after midday (H is ill so didn't come) and were still stuck on the M25 at 4pm (we were...
I've just bought a suit made up of this jacket http://www.jigsaw-online.com/productdetails.aspx?id=1000167&itemno=J08729 and this skirt...
Sorry- a random general question. Was talking to my environmentalist BIL about nuclear energy the other day (he is v much against) and was shocked by own lack of knowledge, so am asking here. I've...
My brother and SIL are getting divorced. The split was entirely his decision- not caused by anything either of them did, he just decided that he had made a mistake getting married. Completely gutting...
I am seeing a recruitment person next week to talk about returning to work. Have just got my old suits out of the loft to find they are all moth-eaten ? I always planned to buy a new interview suit...
Hmm, the muscles on my calves stick out in a lumpy way. Any thoughts on how to turn them into lovely toned calves a la Carla and Letizia?...
There was an item on the radio earlier about some postmen in Bristol refusing to deliver BNP leaflets, both on account of finding them personally offensive and because they had been abused and spat at...
But instead I'm watching this http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/05/the-tabbouleh-song-video-awesomeness/ ?
If I write an @whoever reply to someone who is not following me, will this appear on their feed?
The Reunion on Radio 4 this week featured Terry Waite, John McCarthy, Brian Keenan and Jill Morrell looking back on their time as hostages and hostage campaigner. It was an amazing programme- the...
I have never done one of these before. Any tips?
Can anyone advise me on the benefits of using a broker rather than dealing with lenders direct? We need to remortgage, have lots of equity and good credit, so hopefully we shouldn't have problems...
I've started using GHD straighteners occasionally- at the moment, it's about once a week. 1. Will this level of usage damage my hair and, if so, what should I do to minimise this? I only use a...
We're going to the Christening of the daughter of some very good friends at the weekend. H is godfather to their other daughter and gave her a sapphire and diamond necklace for her Christening a...
Does anyone have any? Breakfast for me is often grabbed as I go out of the door, and all the really quick things are quite carb-heavy (mmh, hot cross buns, sigh...) Anyway, can you suggest any good...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8023882.stm Huzzah! And about time.
Right, I need to submit my assignments. I have until tomorrow to do so but would like to get it done now, as I have revision to do as well but am incapable of focusing on it while I can still fret...
There are quite often posts on here from teachers, TAs etc who are stressed about an upcoming Ofsted inspection. Something I don't understand about the system is how much notice a school is given-...
Has anyone been watching this? I loved last night's episode. It's so refreshing to have a genuine expert doing this sort of thing, so you actually get to see how an excellent rider copes in different...
Does anyone use this? How have you found it? I ordered something with them years ago and the guy never showed up (he called me an hour late- at about 10pm- to say he wasn't going to make it and gave...
Can anyone recommend: 1. a hotel in Venice- location v important and would prefer somewhere with character. 4 or 5 star. 2. a bar in CG to meet some friends in before dinner- would prefer proper bar...
Does anyone else use Freecycle? I love the idea of it but, every time I use it, am overcome with the rudeness and uselessness of people. I've only ever given things away, and almost every time the...
Good grief. it's like something from the Stepford Wives ? Anyway I want a nice and unusual peg basket. Does anyone know a website stocking such things?
I'm on the pill (Microgynon) and find I tend to feel much more energetic and quick at the beginning of a cycle (I know they're not really cycles- I mean the beginning of a pack) and a bit sluggish and...
Https://www.matchesfashion.com/fcp/product/Matches-Fashion/Dresses/diane-von-furstenberg-dvf-v-d7970521p9-dresses/9742?colour=olive I love it but can't justify it just as a random purchase.
We've been staying at my MIL's house for the last week. The tinned food in her larder is significantly out of date- I'd say maybe 10% in date, 50% up to a couple of years out of date, 30% up to ten...
