Just curious about people's views really, I don't have a proper hump about this! We just had a baby and are lucky to have received lots of cards, all put up around the room. PIL (anyone else, you just...

So after confessing to lurking more than posting on the recent "Lurker/newbie" thread here is a shot at getting a topic started. I did want to ask how often you wash your towels but I don't need the...

I've resorted to eating Cadburys Hot Chocolate powder from the tub with a spoon...why is there never chocolate in the house when you really need it? ?

Before I carry on I'll say I have no intention of following it through because I'm not that evil but I wonder how many of you are? Mr M has a Girls Aloud calander and I have a Take That one on the...

In an attempt to post more I thought I'd ask your opinion on this. It's no big deal but it's really pi**ed me off! I have an i-pod nano that I bought for gym use. Just a small 4g one but it was plenty...

..again!. Novelty is wearing off now

I voiced surprise that one of our (work) properties had 95 lodged instances of Asbestos. A colleague helpfully pointed out that it was probably because the house was built in 1947, so I asked if that...

Not sure if this is just me but I just went to look at my planner for something and nearly all of my series link programmes had gone apart from two! I've started setting them up again as I didn't want...
