Discussions I've Participated In

It's ages since I've been on WP, I've been more of a BTer since we got married in 2004 and now I only lurk on there, so I hope no one minds me popping over to ask a favour. I'm a freelance writer and...

Hi All, I'm thinking of getting a website for our wedding, make it easy to get the information for everybody all in one place for them all to see. Does anybody no any companies that specialize in...

Hi I'm kind of new on here (second marriage so I was on here last time but it has been a while). We have given ourselves 12 weeks to plan a wedding - we're getting married on 30 April. Crazy, I know....

I'm usually a BTer, but could do with some energy supplier advice if any of you can help me out. We've been with NPower since we moved into our house 4 and a bit years ago. Last year sometime I...

So, what fcukwittery this week?

Any recomendations?

Some people obviously use it to brag via the status and make everyone else feel like sh1t don't they? Friggin families, in laws can drive you mad.

What do you think? Background - friends with a person since sixth form (I am now 36 so a long time) Said person has always been a bit shaky as a mate, bit take take take but entertaining and saw lots...

Just thought i'd add my own supermarket fishwife moment from today! [no offence amunanji, just being tongue in cheek]. When i went to pay for my groceries in the supermarket this morning, i handed...

Hi All Do you have a nice/special/different breakfast on christmas day? If so what? I need some inspiration for it, im having 4 friends (all single b.t.w) over for xmas, they are arriving xmas eve for...

It's my Grandad's funeral next week and my mum is having trouble sorting everything out. She has asked me to have a think about some flowers we could have as a bit of help to her. She's down in Devon...

Shall we get this one out of the way early this year? To make room for the other annual threads? Tomorrow we could do: When should you open your Advent Calendar? or Farm or Supermarket Turkey? I think...

Did anyone see Dave's press conf this morning? I was so mad about his useless and pathetic proposals that I wrote to him about it, and said that the proposals were half-baked, ineffectual and useless....

We've got a derelict garage that we're working on round the back of our house and there's a group of teenagers hanging around in there this afternoon. I've told them to go once and they went...

? this will be the third one i have broken in 6 years ? and i really will struggle without it. Will get H to have a look at it when he gets in from work then will decide whether to get someone in to...

That's the third pair I've seen today !

Also, is it better to get the 3.5 litre size or the 6.5 litre size? We'd like to be able to get two nights of dinner out of whatever we cook - so something that can make four decent adult portions,...

Walking home from the tube last night I was stopped not once, but twice, by random young men on the street who were blocking my path and doing the whole 'hey baby, where you going?' routine. Both were...

Well, that was rather delicious actually. The jointing went okay although I wouldn't have liked the Pieman's butcher mates to rate the result. I just sort of hacked at the flesh around the hips and...

As above: do you buy/wear a red poppy? If so, why? If not, why not? I ask as I was brought up in a Quaker/pacifist family and I've never worn a red poppy, only white ones.

A wild rabbit appears to have hopped into my shopping bag when I was at the farmers market on Saturday. I need to know how to joint and cook the beast, please. ?

I'm normally a BTer, but I wondered if any of you could help with recommending some classic travel writing for me. It's for my BIL who is 16 and currently getting some work experience with his BIL in...

Anyone else have a really fantastic wedding day, but think that despite the hype it's not necessarily the best day of their lives?? I had a brilliant time, but it was just a day. The service was...

I'd choose fishfingers. I reckon I could do 50. What could you eat an inordinately large quantity of, and how many could you do?

I'm trying to downgrade a lot of my shop but one thing I've found that I don't want to buy the cheap versions of is washing powder/liquid. I've tried cheaper brands/own brand stuff but I just love the...

..as I've mentioned before, we live with my folks as we save for a place of our own. Whilst I shop and cook at least twice a week for everyone, I do almost all of the shopping at the...
