Ok so the problem is my husband has a boy (22) and girl(14) from previous marriage, I have 2 boys (20) from a previous relationship and we have a son of almost 4 together. His oldest lives with his...

Out the back of our house is a builders yard. It is quite small and they use it for storage mainly. I don't often see people in there. They come and go about once per day during the week. Anyway, over...

We've lived in our current flat for almost 3 years. Its a Housing Association property, and our downstairs neighbours are tenants of the same HA. We noticed the odd weed smell very occasionally since...

Amazing that Hitched is even slower than before. It took me 10 mins to get on the site and then another 5 to log in. Sometimes wonder if its worth the bother when other sites are faster; I wonder if...

As per title really, I'm just curious if anyones divorced and kept their married name. If so did you still keep the 'Mrs' too? Found out yesterday that as I did keep my OH's name when we divorced, I...

Does anyone use the coach with a heart rate monitor? I've been umming and aaahing about buying a monitor to use with the sessions and can't decide how much benefit it'll offer. I hope to get back to...

Hi all I'm trying to eat more beans/pulses/grains, cos they're good for you. I've also started sprouting things (deliberately, rather than things just growing roots etc cos they've been in the...

Does anyone else get wound up by things that actually, you shouldn't? (The eating thread has made me think of this, although that habit is not innocuous). H has recently started 'holding' his side. It...

I've ummed and arred (sp?) about asking this because on the face of it this seems a bit petty, but here's my 'problem'. I love my MIL (who's in her mid 70s) to bits: actually I think I'm very lucky....

My H has applied for a job, which if he gets it has good prospects for him. The money is better than what he is on at the moment, with the possibility of getting even better if he stays with the...

This has given me the rage... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/

So the other week, there was a bit of text message ding dong re: AJ's clothing - she dresses him appallingly - joggers because then he doesn't outgrow them too fast when she feeds him lard all the...

Had a chat with the rest of the team earlier this week and we asked his boss for a meeting. She met with us the next day, and although she knew what we were meeting about, she didn't have any idea it...

I found out last night that my granddad died on Monday. We've been estranged from him for years - MrSC has never met him and we've been together for nearly 8 years. My mum didn't find out straight...

Just thought I'd share the latest Which? survey with you, as it hasn't come up for a while . . . Simple replenishing rich moisturiser (£3.20, 125 ml) outperformed both ROC retin-ox intensive (£19.95,...

Can someone please explain to me what the decision has been taken to release the 'Lockerbie Bomber'. I know it is on 'compassionate grounds' as he has terminal cancer but I've not heard of the...
