Gargh, I posted recently about a friend coming over from France who is both vegetarian and pregnant, and how I was giving a dinner for her with 12 other friends. Pregnant friends is now no longer coming, but I still have the 12 others coming round ?...

Do I mean pot luck suppers? Occasions where everyone contributes food, anyway. I'm making the salads for a big picnic with friends tonight. I've just looked at what I've made and, seriously, even if we only had salads to eat we'd have plenty of food...

Got all your money out of the bank, put it on the bed and then shagged on it Indecent Proposal-style, then gathered it all up and put it back in the bank? Have you?

Am trying to write a proposal for my MA but am struggling a bit, having never seen one. Is it just supposed to be a simple outline of what I want to do or should I be trying to argue why it's important? Is it supposed to "sell" my chosen topic as a...

Yay or nay (in hand luggage, I mean). Have checked on the Gatwick site and it says no razor blades, but I'm not sure whether that includes normal disposable safety razors.

I got my exam results today but I don't understand them ? I was due to receive them by post this morning but nothing came. My "record of agreed results" has now been posted on the university website. On it, it lists my marks (71, 73, 72). According...

Gargh, bloody cat jumping about has scratched our kitchen table- will need french polisher to get it out. I think I might start using tablecloths as it's not the first time it has happened. Can anyone point me in the direction of a nice one or...

I really struggle with this- shirts tend to gape and sadly I haven't found one that is small enough on the waist while encompassing my boobs adequately. High necks look matronly and give me mono-boob, low necks and V-necks show too much cleavage for...

Was planning on cooking some wild rice but am a little worried it's out of date (is in a jar and doesn't have a BBD). Is wild rice something that's goiong to kill us if it's old?

We would like to have a television upstairs. There's an aerial socket but the picture is dreadful and I'm trying to work out how to improve it. 1. Would a freeview set top box give us a better picture? We live in London so should be able to receive...

Does anyone have a gas fire in their bedroom? We're replacing the horrid 70s fireplace in our bedroom with one in keeping with the house, and I'm thinking of also getting a coal-effect gas fire fitted. Do you ever use yours? My experience of them is...

A friend from France is coming to stay and we're having a dinner so she can see lots of old friends. There will be 12 people in all. She's a. vegetarian and b. pregnant, and I'd like to do something that doesn't make her feel like a food freak, so...
