Discussions I've Participated In

Hi all! I've recently decided to take up knitting again and so far I've made cushions! ? I keep running out of yarn though, and the only place that I know does a reasonable collection of yarn around...

I am just working out how to join this thing that is Twitter. I'm planning on building a portfolio of the famous and influential. So far I have found Stephen Fry and I've dried up. Which famous people...

I now work in a large, open plan office -with flexible working (0.8 desks per person!) shared across several team - including one who we've never shared space with. We have one woman in this team who...

Genitals! I have been on Sex and relationship ed training today and one of the discussions centred around the language we use for our genitals, some said they had never heard the correct terms used by...

I just want to ask if anyone has had any experience of this and if i am overreacting. I stopped taking the pill over a year now and i have not had a period at all. I came off the pill in the hope to...

Not poorly as such, just well, poxy. Not impressed, work is both hectic and dead interesting and I can't go in!! Gah. Itch, itch, itch!!!!

Hello, I picked up a few books at a charity book stall at work the other day. I've nearly finished one of them and I have to share it with you it is brilliant and I can't put it down - The Various...

A girl in my sons class has been off school this week as she has come out in chicken pox spots. She was in school last week. It is a small sized classroom (as in 26 kids but small room). What do you...

? for me today. Good: 15k run yesterday didn't hurt too much so Marathon de Paris next sunday is ON like a SCONE, as they say (or do they?) It will hurt and I might not finish but at least I am fixed...

As I mentioned last week, its my parents' ruby anniversary (thanks to all who suggested venues). Well, dad's got twitchy about going anywhere that he might get caught using the wrong fork, so we're...

Humbler or more humble. Which woudl you use and why?

As the title says. H and I are both a bit guilty of sticking our heads in the sand over our current finances- him more than me. We have manageable debts but I'm concerned that we may be spending more...

Do you notice people's fingernails? I do. Mine are ok, if I'm not in a biting phase. They're ok at the minute, I've a fair bit of white nail just to the tops of my fingers. Any longer than that, and I...

We're looking around for something new for H and looking at something we can reasonably afford to buy outright. A conversation with colleagues has now lead me to believe that very few people do this...

I was only saying at the weekend how cheap my rental mortgages are now. Good news in one area. But my ISAs are worth diddly squat now. Report

As title - Sorry for yet another house question ? Thanks

Ok I have made a huge mistake! I have bought two massive trays of chicken pieces (one of chicken legs and one just chicken thighs) that have a big red sticker said- 'defrosted- do not refreeze'. Which...

Hi I have a friend of a friend who has done me a favour taking some photographs for me. She's a good amateur photographer, she lectures on the subject and she sells her prints through an on-lione...

So, as we all know, Mr Welshtotty has issues that will probably have him in intense psychotherapy for the next decade. And that's if he's lucky. Ladies of Hitched, make poor misguided *** porcelain...

As in, 'You can't change the situation so you're just going to have to suck it up'. Is this quite a new term for Hitched? I only recall coming across it for the first time quite recently whilst I was...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7856595.stm Heard this on BBC breakfast news this morning. Personally I think it's ridiculous and will just add to the stigma or mystique of alcohol, if you like....

Go on, stick you finger in and give it a good rummage. Mine stinks even though i have cleaned it ? (glad to see hitched if back, I'll try to make an effort too!)

Did anyone watch this last night? 8 people are giving 1 million between them and two weeks training, before being sent off to operate a hedge fund together. Essentially they were all too terrified to...

At what age would you allow a child to have a drink? Specificaly I'm talking about allowing them a small glass of wine (possibly watered down) or champers with chirstmas dinner.

Just recently I've been getting so wound up at the little things he does/doesn't do, and I know it's completely unreasonable, and certainly not very nice for him. Sometimes mild irritation is probably...

It's a bit of an AIBU as well. We had a few friends round today and one couple have a 3 year old boy who is lovely and into everything as you would expect but today he was really quite naughty. He...

Is this really normal? I suppose it's never occured to me as I've got pretty feet (as pretty as feet get) and I certainly don't have any hair on them. I thought only men have hairy toes. I suppose it...

I've always been a bit snotty about people who do this [with no logic or rationality, i will freely admit] but i am now eating my words, as i'm considering doing it with our house. Baby is now...
