It's just been announced on BBC that she died yesterday, 23 days after her sister. Feel so sad for her parents and will be sparing a few thoughts for them. How awful for them all.
My ex-childminders (some of you may have seen previous threads) have still not returned all the money I am owed and so I need to go down the small claims route for that and breach of contract. It's...

Sorry, this is a bit long. Some of you may have seen my post a few days ago asking for advice on sending a letter to my childminder. I'll try and be brief. Background is that I had 2 childminders (E...

We've booked on one before and this time we got a postcard about priority online booking. Lovely H appears to have binned the postcard and I can't find out where to book online on the Sun's website....

Does anyone on here know about Avon stuff. They have an exercise twister thing that their site says is £5 for A list members, £9 otherwise. I'm a cheapskate (well broke) but wondered if there was any...

My year partner and I have swapped planning tasks for this term so I'm doing maths and he's doing lit. I hate maths. I can't get my head around the new framework (I just did what the plan he gave me...
