So yesterday was a busy day! Phew - glad today is quieter as I was running from pillar to post from first thing to last as the day ended with my sign-language class. Sleep study results. Mr P has...

In between all the economy news, there was this little gem. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/7642665.stm Bridle suite ?

I've just nearly fallen off my bed (it's still early here, in case you think I'm still in bed at 1 pm UK time!!) at an estimate I've just received from a builder back home. Due to the new laws (seems...

I'm up to running for 20 minutes on my current plan, soon to be increased to 25 minutes, and in 2 weeks I'll be at the 30 minutes for 3 x that week - then I've finished the programme. So where do I go...

Http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/david_gallo_shows_underwater_astonishments.html Fascinating. Enjoy!

Looks like the fraudsters are getting sloppy http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7628930.stm

And guess what ... I hardly slept!! ? It was really interesting though. Had my head completely wired up with little probes front, back, top and sides. Under my nose, under my chin. Bands around my...

Does anyone use them? What do you use and would you recommend them? What's so great about them?!

You guys have posted some fantastic recipes over the years, and I've used some of them and have had the most delicious meals. Last week (or the week before - I forget) I made cauliflower soup after...

What's deemed as acceptable these days? I received a text at 3 am, and although I was half awake, it woke me fully to the point where I'm now too awake to go back to sleep. It wasn't even a UK text,...

Seeing as no-one answered my query on the other thread [huff & puff], what should I do with my shares & savings? I'm particularly concerned about the savings I've accrued for my Goddaughter...

Sorry for the one-track minded threads from me these days. It's been a pretty hairy experience all round. The scenes of devastation on the TV and online are so harrowing .. it reminds me of the...

Christ, my hands have gone all pins and needley after googling a proceedure I need to have on my foot. It's called a cheilectomy (to remove an arthritic growth on my big toe), and this site shows the...

Are you?! If not, wanna know what's going on? UPDATE - Saturday 18:40 Jeeeez-ous. Never, EVER want to go through that again. We got off very, very lightly compared to some of our friends, and by the...

Looks like Ike is going to be the one to watch this time. We were lucky with Dolly. Got off scott free with Eduard. Gustav didn't come near Houston. Hanna is travelling up the east coast (and is...

Just turned on the TV to see the weather forecasts and the news is on with live coverage of the 9/11 remembrance. Those bagpipes are really haunting, and quite tear jerking ? How could I have...

? Happy Birthday! ?

Remember my bunny-boiler, high-maintenance friend? Well, she and her husband have invited us over to their house on Friday night for a BBQ. Along with another couple - the one who she said she could...

Can anyone find Jamie's Christmas smoked salmon & watercress with horseradish dressing recipe anywhere? I've googled, but can't find it and I'm being badgered for it. I'd copy it from our DVD if I...

So we've got an impromtu dinner party tonight. Bit of a 'pot-luck' where they're bringing some food too (which is always absolutely ?) This is what one couple are bringing .. > Making blue cheese...

Anyone play? It's not difficult to learn, is it? I mean, I've played the odd game on my phone and it doesn't look like you need to be a rocket scientist to understand it. Or am I missing something?...

I met a group of expat ladies from all over the world this time last year, and made a couple of really good friends out of the group. One of the ladies is American, but is married to a Brit, and has...

It's my friend's birthday today, so I sent him a gift which was delivered by Parcel Force. As he wasn't home, Parcel Force left it with a neighbour. I've tracked the parcel and it was signed for by a...

Has yours arrived? What do you think of it? I've been looking at it and think it might be a leetle bit advanced for my jogging around the park! What I could do with is a watch that shows distance, but...

Gustav has hit land and has lost strength, which is great news. Although it's still causing damage, it's not nearly as bad as the reported it would be. It's battering the Louisiana coast line (which...

Gustav first (cat 1), then Hanne (cat 2). Lets hope they are like the last one (Eduard) which died a death when it hit land. These 2 are stronger though, so we may well be packing the cats up and...

But I'm going to have to make it again as we had problems with our hob (don't ask) and therefore didn't brown the chicken as much as we'd wanted (read not at all!) It was lovely though. Thank you!...

I've seen time and time again on both this forum and others about people reading their spouses texts and/or emails, either because they're nosey or because there is suspicion of some dodgy activity of...

Cleaner is here and I got home after she arrived. Went to see if she'd replaced it, and nope, nothing. So got the broken mug out and showed her, and in my best Spanish asked her 'whadda happened to...

It's now nearly 7 am and I've been awake since 2.22 (precisely!) And the night before I was awake nearly all night too. How long is this going to go on for before I drop down flat with exhaustion? And...
