I'd choose fishfingers. I reckon I could do 50. What could you eat an inordinately large quantity of, and how many could you do?

I've got a new laptop but can't connect it to t'interweb. We have a wireless thing and my computer says "if you have a router, make sure it is plugged in to this computer". What is a router? I know...

I want to include a photo someone emailed me in a photobook I'm doing. It's only 200kb. What's the biggest I can go and still have it look ok? Or do I need to get her to resend?

I get most of my news from the World Service, which has spent the last few days focusing on little other than the various bank rescue plans being implemented worldwide, how both Europe and the US are...

The washer-dryer at our house in London has broken again, unmendably. It's the second one to do so in three years. Is this bad luck or do they generally not last long? Anyway, I need to get a new one...

I just came close to losing my temper in the post office*, which is completely unlike me. I suspect PMT. My periods haven't yet returned after having a baby so I don't know when I'm due, but am...

I can't find a tape measure. Is a 15" skirt incredibly short? How does it compare to the long side of an A4 sheet?

Sorry for all the posts today. Does anyone have experience of giving up (or seriously limiting) drinking? I've always been quite an all-or-nothing drinker- I can easily go without a drink but if I...

My Ipod, when on shuffle mode, plays every song twice. Any ideas how I stop this? It's an Ipod Touch, if it matters.

Black leather pencil skirt (fitted but not tight, nice, think sexy Gwyneth not Pat Butcher) + Black leather knee-high boots Yay or nay?

As I recall there were a few of us starting courses this autumn. How is everyone getting on? I'm loving studying so far- it's so utterly wonderful to be thinking again. At the risk of sounding silly,...

H's father died a few months ago and a memorial evening has been arranged in a couple of weeks' time (the funeral was family only). I'm not sure what I ought to wear. It's not that long since he died...

At the moment I do 3 x 1.5h sessions at the gym every week, generally an hour's cardio and 30 minutes weights and stretching etc. I've taken on some other commitments and would really like to drop...

Can I freeze this? Poached chicken, shallots and mushrooms in a veloute sauce with creme fraiche. Should I freeze before adding the CF?

I cooked a massive bit of beef on Sunday. When's the last day you would eat the leftovers? Does it make a difference whether it's reheated or cold?

It's my husband's birthday today and I've just realised that his presents are frankly pathetic. I ordered a DVD box set from Amazon.com, which hasn't arrived, so he's stuck with a shirt, a pair of...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/7633761.stm I'm quite shocked by this.

Did you decide where to move to in the end?

Not really sure how to title this post, as you can see ? Anyway, I missed the news that David Foster Wallace had died recently- it happened while I was away. How utterly tragic. This transcript of one...

I want to email someone some pictures- about 20- in such a way that they just appear in the body of the email as images so that the recipient doesn't have to spend ages downloading etc. How do I do...

I bought a dress a few weeks ago and chucked the receipt. I'm now wondering whether I should have gone for a smaller size. Do shops ever exchange in this situation (I know they aren't obliged to)....

If so, could you please catch me up (briefly) on what's happening? I saw the first show but not the second. ?

For months I've been looking forward to going to my college reunion. I don't get to see my university friends that often (I live abroad) and we'd planned all to attend- people are coming from New...

This dress These shoes (note peep toe) https://www.karenmillen.com/womens/shoes What tights would you wear? How do I deal with the whole peep toe issue? Bare legs isn't an option. Thanks in advance...

I want to go on a day trip (nb from Brussels)- bit of walking, nice lunch etc. Has anyone been? I've looked at the tourist board website and it just says everything's nice, tsk.

Our fixed rate is going to come to an end next year (so this isn't urgent but I've been spooked by a friend's tale of woe). I don't really understand what happens after that: Can our mortgage company...

We're going on holiday next week. Our cats have always hated catteries so I had the bright idea of offering the boy next door (who's about 12) €50 to come in every day and feed them. I thought I ought...

Were these cancelled in the end or just postponed?

I'm planning to buy a second-hand car at the end of this year, almost certainly from a dealer. Do dealerships have January sales or is it just as cheap in December?

What would you do witha huge cabbage if you were about to go on holiday and therefore couldn't eat it? Can anyone suggest something I could make and freeze? Maybe I should just bin it, hmmmm.

I'm going to be in Oxford in a couple of weeks and have a few things I need to buy while I'm there. Can anyone suggest somewhere in central Oxford where I can get: - pint glasses - women's jeans (a...

Huzzah, this exhibition has come to Brussels and I really want to see it. I'm struggling to see how we can go without taking our two year old with us though. He's too young for it to upset him and...
