Just pondering really. If anyone goes on holidays on their own, how do you choose where to go and what to do? That doesn't sound right. Do you go with organised tours? Try to find a willing friend to...

Gargh, help me make a decision. Our bedroom currently has a (not v nice) brown carpet and an entirely minging 70s fireplace with huge hearth. Should I: 1. replace fireplace, putting same size new...
