Going to a 'pot-luck' Christmas lunch today at someone's house. Thanks to Hitched and me making cauliflower & cheese soup a couple of months ago, and mentioning it to the group, they persuaded me...

Felt like I was on a roller-coaster! Interesting to see the weather change throughout too.

My Mum is writing Christmas cards to Mr P's family .. not just his M&D, or even just his siblings, but to his nieces and nephew too. I'm actually quite pissed off about it. It all sounds very...

Kathy Staff has died End of an era

While I'm in the UK it's a friend's birthday, so I'd like to send her something so she gets it on time, rather than when I get back from the UK (after her birthday) She is late 40s. Just started to...

Please make sure that your backups are working and actually taking place. I'd hate to hear that your computer dies, just out of warranty and that your time-capsule hasn't backed up since September...

CHRISTMAS EATING TIPS 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door,...

In the current market, what do you pay / charge for a deposit? 1 x month rent, 1.5 x or something different? No pets allowed, so that won't be an issue here. Thanks

Just to let you know I'm feeling a bit better today. Knowing I've got an appointment with a (Christian?!) counsellor on Monday is helping. I spoke with him briefly last night and he does sound like a...

This is pathetic. I've never been so useless in my life! Scenario .. Empty house needs decorating before re-letting. Have had 2 quotes from builders/decorators I've known many years (one since my...

Yesterday was a toughie. My brother was very low, and was reaching out for help when he sent me a text saying he didn't want to live anymore. As you can imagine there have been many hours since then...

I've got a dear friend who has sent me a long email venting about her family, her job and her money woes. I knew about the 1st two, but didn't know she is not a good 'money manager' (her words) This...

Can anyone tell me if you can order online? I've checked the website but don't have time now to call them. ?

"The one time in my life I needed someone the most, there's nobody here .. I need someone to fight for, I just feel so pointless" I've run out of things to say in reply to similar words. No matter...

I don't want to go 'home' for Christmas. End of. I've had enough flying back and forth to the UK, and quite frankly, it's NOT a holiday, it's very stressful and I'd much rather keep out of it right...

Hi guys We've been looking online at hotels, but as we've only ever stayed with family over the Christmas period, we're looking for recommendations if anyone has any. Please! Family live in Rotherham...

I've almost finished a wonderfully inspiring book a friend gave me for my birthday. Thought I'd share it with you ... The Last Lecture (Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams) - Randy Pausch On his...

Watching CNN now .. it's making my blood turn cold. Horrific ?

Pure brilliance! Just finished watching it back to back (they're very short!) and I'm wanting more lol. Stepdaughter and fiancé bought it for me for my birthday after they brought their 1st series...

Apologies if someone has posted this already, but it's early here! For any Americans who might be in the UK, and any Brits in the US. And anyone else too! We're going to be having a quiet day at home...

What do they like? I'm so out of touch. I've seen this as I know he likes Tomas the Tank Engine. But does anyone have any better suggestions? Action gift set and/or Play dough set This is for his...

Remember we had a conversation months ago about Scrubs? You said when I got to series 5 or 6 I'd see what you saw in Dr Cox. Well, I still don't see it! What am I supposed to have fallen for? His...

So I've been home 3 days - this is the 4th. I've spoken to my brother every day since arriving home, and he's steadily gone into a decline. This morning he rang at 4 am, only we didn't answer the...

I've been sent one as a birthday present from some friends, along with 5 flavours of tobacco, nicotine and tar free herbal hukka. We went to Egypt together, and smoked one there most nights, so I...

Our cleaner that is. The last time I saw her was 3 weeks ago. Everything was fine and dandy .. at least to her it was. But then, out of the blue I wasn't here. She came 2 weeks ago and found the house...

My SIL did this last year and raved about it. The last thing we all need this year is added stress, and it was a thought that we could have Christmas at my brother's house this year, rather than at...

Great news! Makes undies expensive with the 20 GBP P&P, but great news all the same http://corporate.marksandspencer.com/media/press_releases/International/pressrelease_internationaldelivery

How is your Mum, your Dad and your friend respectively? Been thinking of them all

Wow, what a change. I was really impressed yesterday, and feel that it's only right and proper to post about my impressed-ness seeing as they get a bad press so often! Arrived at T4 with plenty of...

Landed in the UK last Tuesday and by Wednesday night I had that watery feeling when you just know you're coming down with a cold. Thursday morning I woke up with a raging sore throat, a bad cough and...

So how was sunny Florida? I thought of you last week, especially when the election was on. Did you have an election party where you were? I missed out .. I was gutted! ? We'll just have to stay there...
