Bah, my local swimming pool does children's classes which are hugely popular. Booking opened at 7am this morning and had to be done online or in person at the pool. 7.01am- it becomes apparent that the sodding website doesn't work, so I quickly get...

I've just been declined for a phone contract. There are no reasons at all for this that I can see- I've never had any credit problems, have always been accepted for credit cards, mortgage etc. 1. Is it worth me getting a copy of my credit report to...

Sorry, dull Q. Is there a quick way to add a row to the end of a table?

Can anyone recommend someone in central or north London? I have straight longish hair with a few layers so not wildly difficult to cut (I imgaine) yet I still manage to get weird choppy Rachel-cuts at Toni and Guy. I just want longish hair with a bit...

I have some lovely shoes in pale pink leather but the toes are scuffed. Is there any product I can use to repair them? She polish wouldn't do it, I fear- I actually need something that paints over the scuffed area I think.

I want something like this http://www.supernice.co.uk/product.php/85/0/fly-- for my daughter's wall but not exactly this- I want the birds flying the other way and more varied designs. I can't find what I want so thought I could make my own by...

Are they just ****.*******@**.***?

My husband's father had his first heart attack aged 60 and had various heart problems from then until his death 17 years later. My husband's half-brother (who is 50) has just been diagnosed with some sort of artery problem (not sure what the test was...

Am trying to redesign our bathroom at the moment. It's a very small room so I want to keep most of it quite light. I have been thinking about white bath, sink, loo etc, cream tiles, dark wood panel on bath, white or cream walls. The house is...

Can anyone suggest anything? My MIL has just given me a vast quantity of leftover roast pork. ?

If you apply for a job and then get a call from the HR person asking you to call back, that's more likely to be an invitation for interview than a "thanks but no thanks", right?

My mother is a bit obsessed with The Ivy (in a never-gets-up-to-London yokel way) and I was thining of getting her the book. I can't work out whether it's a proper cookbook though or just a load of PR stuff with a few recipes thrown in. Does anyone...

Is there any point at all in going to the gym once a week? I used to go 3 times for 1h30m a time, whch I found made a big difference. I now have a lot less time and can really only do one session of 1h30m or so- is this completely pointless or is it...

We've invited some neighbours for a drink in a few days. She's just sent me a text asking whether we'll be eating or should they eat first. Well, I was imagining that we'd eat afterwards (ie they would come round 8-9pm or something then sod off) but...

I've received a letter frommy old mobile provider, confirming the end of my contract with them. It includes the following: "Il est possible que vous receviez une derniere facture apres la resiliation de votre abonnement. Nous vous invitons a la...
