Discussions I've Participated In

As a young teenager I absolutely loved reading Point Horror books. My girlfriends and I would swap books with each other once we'd finished. They were so gripping and scary and I felt really old and...

As in with no adult/parental supervision? A friend has just put up pictures of the holiday we went on when we finished high school. We were all 17, apart from one girl who was 18 and bought all the...

Your three year old needs to go to the toilet while you're out shopping. You are surrounded by bars/restaurants/coffee shops, but you go the nearest drain and he wees there. Is that normal? L xx

Has anyone noticed that the younger types on their facebook keep writing extra letters in their messages? Some of my student colleagues are doing this and its confusing me. An example being "what...

First of all, I will admit first up this is a ridiculous post, and I feel about 14 typing it. Got thinking after legless' post yesterday and then had an email to say that this girl has added me on FB....

Wowzers, that's some coffin. It still makes me sad to think about him being gone :--(

Are they his biological children?

Just got our first quarterly bill- £180 electricity and £250 gas for the quarter, 4 of us in a 4 bed house. This seems a lot to me. How much do you pay?

I've had my Renault Clio for almost 2 years. I that time it's had two services but i've never had a service book to log this in. Should one have come with the car when i bought it? I'm sure that with...

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...

At the weekend we went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park (which is fab, everyone should go, it is totally amazing). Anyway, it is stuffed full of massive sulptures. In a big park. Brilliant. Anyway, the...

We bought a 2nd hand car from a big dealer in early march. After driving it for a couple of days we noticed a noise coming from the back of the car. To cut a long story short, we took it back to the...

I'm probably being very dense, but could someone just clear this up for me. I thought that when you sent funds via paypal, they came off your designated card and when you receive funds, they stay in...

The school play post reminded me of my primary school days. Did anyone else have the Clarks shoes which had a sort of moveable strap so they could be Mary Janes or sort of court shoeish? They were...

One of those 'pick a five' things on Facebook, Which famous people have you been told you look like.... Off you go then.

I've just got back from having a major, 40k service done on my car. That cost £270 as it is! They tell me the front breaks are 90% worn and will need to be replaced next weekend. I also need 4 new...

There appears to be a new link in the bottom right of the screen - Australia Wedding Planning - has this been here before? I've had a click on it and it looks very like normal hitched but with a...

I bought a random selection of things this weekend....

Mr Hole went out yesterday afternoon with the boy for a few games of pool, they were out no more than 3 hours and home by 5, he had 3 maybe 4 pints at the most. At 2.00 this morning he started losing...

I have two gifts to buy for 30th birthdays. Both girls. One is girly, busy mum of two, likes pretty/nice things. She works part time for Clinique so her make up/skincare is pretty much sorted. The...

Do you wait to hear the result from the GP? I had a coloscopy on the 24th Feburary to remove (once again) my abnormal cells and a smear. I have never ever had a normal smear test and im traeted at the...

Sorry for all the houseish posts these days. How hard is it to remove a small radiator? Do I need a plumber?

I can't think how to describe that better. I've seen a coat hook unit which has boxes to put 3/4 baskets in with coat hooks below. I'm looking for something to store scarves/gloves/hats as we have a...

I am making this for the first time and just noticed that butter isn't mentioned in the ingredient list but is in the recipe. Anyone made it and know which is the typo? If I need butter any idea how...

I've noticed a massive crack in my windscreen- it needs replacing and my insurance doesn't cover it. I've been googling but none of the websites seem to give any kind of even approximate cost- so I've...

A customer was telling me they'd read an article in a newspaper recently that mentioned children grow up more confident/happier in homes that have lots of photos of them on display - anyone...

Just to update those who asked last week. My friends' 11 month old son is doing better than he was and they are now confident he'll make it....but until he comes off the drugs which are making him...

HE WON! I am so so so SO proud of him. MrKB has got FULL custody of both of his children. Mum has a defined contact order for every Wednesday night. Any other contact to be decided between both...

Has anyone heard any of my getting home after a night out stories before? I excelled myself last night. Got on tube 6 stops from home at 11.30 last night. Fell asleep on tube almost immediately. Went...

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...

As above,, would you and if so how old would they have to be before you would let them? (Is there actually a minimum age in place on FB?) Just asking as I was just looking at my cousin's profile and...

Had another episode last night with youngest step daughter. She is due to see her mum today, having not seen her for 2 weeks (she cancelled last week's contact as she was busy with work) and at...
