Discussions I've Participated In

We have been a 'second hand family' my whole life. Be it from cousins, siblings, neighbours, charity shops or boot sales, as a child I hardly ever wore something new and thought nothing of it. These...

Sorry for the very low series of posts on here. We've just been thrown a real curveball - my oldest boy's great grandad died on Saturday night - very sad, but not entirely unexpected. Boy1 isn't too...

I fear that my GHDs are dying and I really can't afford to spend nearly £100 on a new pair. Can anyone recommend some hair straighteners that are as good but cheaper? Do such things exist?!

Hi We are looking to go away end of Sept early Oct, it doesn't have to be scorching but I would like to see the sun and not too much rain if poss, we went to Menorca last June and had a fab time but...

My wardrobe is so tired - inspire me with your fabulous summery ensembles! I'm wearing a veeeery old Ted Baker pale denim skirt with some floral patchwork stitched on top (sounds lush hey ?), a peachy...

For those interested, an update on my last dress drama - first one was too big, second one a bit too big and it was clearly going to make me look hippy, so back it went. AM now lusting after this...

As per those rankings 'ABC1' if that makes sense?

So, I have a wonderful, shiny new job to go to at the end of July. Having worked in meeja for years, I am used to wearing jeans and having no dress code at work. The new role is smart dress. I have a...

I'm trying to find a hotel for next Saturday, near the John Mill's Theatre on Gateacre Road, about £60 for the evening. My internet searches thus far have come up with nothing, but I don't know...

Hi all I have had a bunion develop on my foot. It was only a few months ago that I actually realised it was a bunion, I just thought it was bruising from wearing too tight shoes until a friend said...

H has just started a new job, he is FD, and has been invited to the boss's wife's 50th birthday party. It's at their house, what do I wear? They work in sportswear/fashion design so am going to look...

I have all my work colleagues on limited profile as I dont want them seeing my status updates. In my privacy setting for status updates I have it set to 'friends' with the exception of all the people...

For us it was 20 months from the time we first met until we tied the knot. How about you?

I've always thought she's wonderful, but her programme last night was wonderful <girly sigh>. I can't wait for next week. TV is so good at the moment....

I know I asked about this a while ago but I can't pm anyone as it wont let me so thought I would post it on here. H's friend's baby has arrived now so we'd like to write in english and swedish in the...

I've just been reading about the Latitude Festival in July. It's the 4th year apparently but I've not heard of it before. From the write up it sounds like it could be really good, but I am so NOT a...

Just a quick question. Has anyone ever had a cast iron bath re-enammelled (sp)? We've been looking at a new house over the weekend and the bathroom is fine apart from the bath has got a few marks and...

OK - there's going to be plenty of things that your size / shape may not suit - but what is your 1 stylistic "no can do" that you're most peeved about? I would love to be able to do "tuckage" - that's...

I'm just trying to open an account, Barclays are sending me an info pack but just wondered if I should be looking for a building society account that might pay us a little bit of interest - we'd only...

I know we've had present idea threads but I thought it might be helpful for people to share what we are buying people in the hope it might help someone! H (29) 12 year old malt, proper shave and...

Where did Brook get the baby from?
