Discussions I've Participated In

I'm trying to write a bloody essay! Tonight he rang when I was on the way home from work, wondering what was for tea. I thought he was out so wasn't going to make any. There is no food in fact. I...

How much access does your ex have to your children? After 2 years of him doing whatever he wanted I need to sort out a structure and I wondered what was reasonable access. We are amicable so I am not...

THere's only two of us in a three bed house! It IS for six months, but thats crazy isn't it? They want to put my DD up from £60 to £200pcm! On top of everything else I just can't do this! The meter...

So I was brought up with the idea that you always pay back your debts before trying to save. And this seems to be the general advice from what I gather of the MSE type discussions I've had with people...

No, not Vernon Kay ? I really, really detest those 4 little notes they stick onto every song in the morning. Who do I complain to? ?

I cant help but laugh about this From the Treasury: Dear Fred Please give us your pension money back YS The Treas. From Fred: Dear Treas No YS Fred ? despite the guy being an arrogant prick, I think...

Anyone else watching? I like Mat, but I think Andy will win. Can I just also just grumble at the continuity. Sending them off on the Eurostar, to get to France is fine, obviously. But the other two...

Does anyone know of any stores that sell Hunter wellies? (not online) I've just had a disaster with www.garden4less.com who have sent me a pair. Not only was the delivery late but the box was...

The finalists this year seem very weak to me compared to previous years. Do you remember the barrister chap who was consistently excellent and the young girl who was so interesting (if a bit...

I've just been looking at their web-site and there seems some good deals on it. I was just wondering whether anybody has been to one of their camps and tell me what it was like? ?

I popped into M&S earlier and the crowds of people swarming round the meal deal displays were unreal, I thought initially I must have been missing out on a freebie, and then I realised that it...

What resort is nice for 2 couples to vist, mid 30's, likes nice restaurants/bars, harbour etc? Dont like resorts packed of high rises full of yobs on an 18-30 holiday. Accommodation looks cheap so is...

(Nigella's recipes unless indicated otherwise) Good: Brining turkeys. It rocks. Fast cooking turkeys. Fast, hot cooking then resting beef - still a winner Her chestnut stuffing. The cranberry sauce....

Go on, we haven't had one of these for a while have we? my pet hates atm "pound" instead of 'pounds'. 'It cost me thirty pound!' Grrrr. my husband does this. I think it sounds so awful. 'hubby'. Just...

Is it just me? Why exactly did we "do the right thing", look ahead, see that the bubble was likely to burst, not mortgage ourselves to the hilt, take on a house that we could afford on one salary -...

Can anyone tell me if you can order online? I've checked the website but don't have time now to call them. ?

Just had a meeting with my Managing Partner and they need me to go to Manchester to handle a new client portfolio that we recently won. 6 months- 1 year with the chance to go permanent. Of course, I...

Ours has just been cancelled today - due in 3 weeks

Can anyone recommend a hotel near to the 02. One or two tubestops maximum would be great. There are plenty on the web but not sure about the locations of them in relation to the 02 so any...

What a year. My poor gran died at the start of October, and tonight her husband of sixty years followed her. My poor old papa. We loved him so much; he adored us and we adored him. He was a war hero...

Last year there was a fabulous thread (started by rache maybe) in which people listed their present ideas for family so far and asked for advice on gifts they were stuck on. The thread had some great...

Nicks comment on the compliment the chef thread is worthy of its own thread, I think. People do seem to be utterly self-obssessed and thoughtless in today's society (although I do often ponder, is it...

I have a FB account, but hardly ever log into it. I only really use it to find out with what some of my friends are up to as they seem to live on there! I logged in the other day, and I have three...

Here

I work in a team of 3. I start at 8am, and I'm at work by 7.40am every day (to ensure I have time to eat my breakfast and have a coffee!). One of my colleagues starts at 9am, the other at 9.30 (her...

Odd question I know, but I suppose I'm a fairly optimistic person and find it hard to understand where the doom-mongers are coming from. Take the weather. I know it hasn't exactly been the best summer...

That's what I WANT to say to my Australian colleague, every time she moans about the UK. Of course, I don't, as it'd be rude and fairly aggressive. I just asked her what she DOES like about the UK....

We're in the early stages of thinking about doing this, but we can't get much out of the developer because they're redrawing the plans or some such thing. If you've done it, did it turn out to be a...

Those of you that have weddings to attend this summer, I'm feeling nosey this morning, so just wondered who would like to share what you're wearing (either describe or pics)? I've got 2 to go to, and...
