Discussions I've Participated In

We're only just looking and not even on the market yet but I can see this really winding me up as time goes on. I rang an agent yesterday to book a viewing on four houses, that was 9.30am. At 1.30pm I...

Trivial question alert..... What are you calling next year? I am having to refer it it on a daily basis when planning work stuff, but I can't decide what to call it. We can't keep saying...

Hayelp! My car is broken ? going to cost £700 to fix and it's really not worth it. I've never really been into cars, I rarely drive, only really to work and back. I've done 4,000 miles in the past 12...

The box does go into standby eachnight, i am not moaning about that as it still records. However, the box just keeps turning off over the past week and anythign that is being recorded gets lost, (the...

My best mate is going to work in NZ for a year and we'd like to take the opportunity to visit her. My problem is that I am absolutely, pant-wettingly terrified of big spiders and the like. We went to...

Hi, I've not been on here for a wee while, and in the last 10 days life has turned on a pin and I could use some advice, if that is OK? ? in advance for any help. My H has been made redundant - it's...

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...

Just wiki'd to see Jason Donovans age and apparently 20 years ago TODAY the famous Scott and Charlene wedding was televised. Can't believe it was so long ago? - more than half my life ago!

Where would you have your stopover and why? We've been invited to a beach wedding in Noosa in April. Loads of mates will be there and it will be fab. Also, if you had a choice between paying 75% of...

Clearly BT related but that place scares me! So, Hitchers, lend me your gobs. If you're already a parent - when did you have kids and why? (relationship? age? career? money?) Would you change anything...

Crikey- what a depressing book, I sobbed! I am not sure whether I am pleased I read it or not, I just felt so miserable. I know a couple of others on here have read it, is it just me that wondered if...

Yes, it's one of those tedious posts! It's my birthday soon and I want to go away somewhere for one/two nights where we can stay in a nice hotel, have a good dinner and go to a swanky bar and have...

Evie is starting school next September. I want to take the kids to Florida, or California (possibly the latter, as this would be free accommodation with friends) since the girls have both developed a...

..which is the least painful? I've had my eyebrows waxed before and although not exactly fun, it was bearable. Has anyone had threading done and how painful is it?

RIP Thea She has not been well for a while. She had been on CCU for a while and actually survived a cardiac arrest last week. But she got pneumonia, and she stopped responding to the antiobiotics and...

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed a couple of BTers/Planners coming onto OT and asking for help, recommendations, advice etc. without even bothering to introduce themselves or engage in the board...

I've got some friends coming over tomorrow around "tea time" and I've no idea what that means - what is "tea time" and what is the general expectation in terms of food? Is it just a case of having a...

Ledesma just scored (two goals in two consecutive games now). We're 2-0 against Carlisle (at home and I'm not blooming there). Sky sports news have just said "Ledesma scored an absolute belter - you...

Fecking neighbour woke me up banging stuff in his garden. It was 7am FFS. I only went to bed at 2am. I can't go back to sleep as it's too sunny and the season starts today so I am EXCITED!

Surely that's most of the South East covered.....? It's our anniversary on Wednesday. We'd like to go out for Greek, if possible...do you know anywhere nice? Happy to go in as far as Putney and out as...

I have 4 fireplaces that keep dropping soot and I need a chimney sweep quick smart! I've never used one before so I thought I'd find out if anyone can recommend someone that's good and not too...

I cant believe I'm saying this but I am getting married again!! Oh my god

I hate Chelsea.

It is now looking very likely that we'll be moving out to New Zealand for the best part of a year, starting this August. H has had a few job offers, and we think we've narrowed it down to 2 at the...
