Morning chaps! So where are we all up to - any feedback on viewings? Did any of you view a property over the weekend? Anybody's sale move forward? We filled in a couple of questionnaires from our...

Any idea if there's a sale coming up at John Lewis? We need some new saucepans and have vouchers for the store, but don't want to buy some and then find they're half price the next week! Oh, and any...

Probably a bit of a long shot, this one, but has anyone got any suggestions for veggie or veggie-friendly (ie good veggie options) restaurants anywhere around Central London? Could be West...

I've finally got a skirt I love for my friend's wedding next this month. I had wanted a dress but my HH boobage has put most of them on the no pile for one reason or another. (sorry about the bad...

Inspired by the car thread ? We're (hopefully) getting a puppy in the summer so I hoped you'd be kind enough to tell me the names of dogs you know please? If your name is picked, the lucky winner will...

I'm buying loads from ASOS (I think it may have taken over from my TS internet shopping addiction) at the moment and more and more bits from Oliver Bonas. Quite excited that Joy now has online...

I'm organising a birthday party in a few weeks for my mum and uncle and as it's a garden party, struck on the idea of Pimms. However, whilst I'd lap up the alcoholic version, ? most people with either...

Can any one reccomend a good place for lenses online please?

We've had about 8 people round now I guess, on the market about 6 weeks. Friday's lady offered yesterday and today's viewer offered £1k more than her. It's only a couple of grand under the asking...

I am sick of walking around looking like a typical American suburbanite with horribly outdated clothes. What is going to be "in" this summer? Smock tops? Florals? Skirts? Capri pants [shudder]?...

Looking for some inspiration for one of my best mates who turns 30 shortly. Thanks

I'm sure this may well have been asked before but to the sellers: House sellers, what do you do when people come round to view? I have been tending to make myself scarce, pop and have a quick coffee...

My son does well in school, the only concerns his teacher has is with his handwriting. She gave me a handwriting book for us to practice in, I have bought him a left handed pen. Does anyone have any...

Around 6 pm UK time Mum got a visit from the police telling her my brother was either in, or on his way to hospital. She didn't know much, so I rang them and found out a little bit more. He's broken...

My Grandparents today had to have their lovely westie put down suddenly. His name was Maxi (hence my user name ?) and he was only 10 years old. He was honestly the most lovely, canny, dog you could...

I'm sure we arranged this late January / early February, we've had a man round to do his energy assessment and I realised the other day that we've heard nothing since. I've looked at our property...

Ignore the bow, I've taken it off (it's a brooch). So I bought this dress yesterday for an August wedding. It fits perfectly, like it was made for me. My concern is that it's red (too racey for a...

Hi everyone! I need to find a nice, yet decently priced bottle of champagne. My dad suggested Lanson, but i've never tasted it. Is it any good, drinkable? Even for people who aren't so keen on...
