Just having a heated debate with OH. I came downstairs to find our front door wide open (well I say front but technically it's on the side of the house). I asked him why the front door is wide open...
I'm sure there was a thread on this the other day - it looks like a great idea. Is there a catch?
I live in the USA but am not a US Citizen (although my daughter and husband are, so I could easily just do the test, and plan to at some point). When I attend official meetings for my job they convene...
I can't believe the new F1 season has come around so quickly. I finally have something to moan about at weekends again. Anyone else going to be up for qualifying / the race?
I tried to attach some photos of the mega blanket I knitted for my bed and the shawl that I'm making for Camperbub, but I couldn't get the link bit going, so, I've tried to attach them here.... Hope...
Have you looked at the R(andom) A(ct of) K(indness) group recently, I'm sitting chuckling away at some of the requests. It's like when people on freecycle ask for a new laptop or plasma tellybox. So...
Long story short a wee git tripped me up yesterday when I was iceskating, didn't see him coming and took me clean out by the roots! My left arm took the brunt but I thought it was ok, turns out my...
Meow! i predict this is not going to end nicely?

Who do you kiss on the lips, apart from your OH? This might sound rather odd (the reason why I thought I'd sound you lot out), but the only person I kiss on the lips apart from Mr FW is my best...
Snow in North London. It's really coming down. It was bright sunshine 5 minutes ago, and now the sky is completely white.
