Activity of Clairy

My 3 year old has been stung by a bee on his eyelid. It happened this morning. We carefully removed the sting without squeezing the venom sack, and bathed the area in a solution of bicarb of soda. He's not in any pain, but his whole eye area has...

A new client has signed a contract to say that they would take X for £X. We have a clear paper trail and we have always been very transparent about what the price included. Now the first invoice has gone out, they are saying that, despite what the...

My 12 year old son's best friend has had two weeks off school so far, and his Mum has said he won't be back in for another 3 months, because he's constipated. The doc has prescribed laxatives and she's feels as though he needs to be near a toilet at...

Comments from PIL today (after telling them I had joined Slimming World) FIL: If you lost some weight, you'd be gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you ? MIL: despite your weight you have nice features. You'll look much better when you...

I'll probably ramble A bit here, apologies in advance if I do. Would you take a job that had lots of potential if the salary was rubbish? Ot are the employers taking the piss - even if you're reasonably confident that, until you prove you're...

I only usually have mild hayfever, some years it doesn't bother me at all. This year it's dreadful - my eyes nose and throat really burn. Is anyone else experiencing similar? We live rurally and this year there seems to be loads of rape seed fields...

We live in a cottage - the original bit was built in 1850, but the vast majority of it is a modern extension, built 2007. So it is both period and contemporary, which makes decorating complicated! All the rooms have been painted magnolia and I am...

What would you spend your winnings on? Assuming it's enough so you never need work again. I would live in a cottage that's a bit ramshackle and chaotic, but filled with stuff I like. I would pay cleaners to come everyday and sort the place out. I...

I am really worried about my brother and H is getting a bit sick of me going on about it ? His relationship is failing, he has nightmare neighbours, serious debt problems and two jobs. He's being quite sensible and going down all the appropriate...

I am a bit worried about wasting the doctor's time. I know that's feeble, sorry. I have shingles again, it came up last night. V painful, not the first time this has happened, but copable. However, some clear fluid just gushed out of my nose - loads...

I feel deeply uncomfortable when people help me, when I have not asked them to. It's not a pride thing, I just don't feel as though I have earned it, and I have a little worry that I'll have to do something to repay them for the favour at some point...

Jonathan is 12 and has always been a reluctant reader. He's able (in the top stream), but would much rather be running around playing sport. We found the best way to motivate him to read when he was about 5 was to buy him a DS (equivanent, a Game...

No wine at all, or one glass of wine?

My SIL has been slagging my brother off on Facebook - a bit stupid really, given that I am on her friends list. Also, I assume he is too. It's annoying me, even though I know it's none of my business, esp as I think she's being very unfair. WWYD? I'd...

DC Chris Skelton Luigi What have they been in before please? It's driving me mad. Google has not been my friend.

Go on, you'll never guess, I must be committing at least one Hitched sin... ?
