I ask because I've recently ordered a new car and collect on Monday. Whilst I can't wait for the new one, I'll be sorry to see Tina (!) my current car go. It made me realise that H and I have named...

I decided to harvest my potatoes-in-a-pot today as the foliage seems to be dying at an alarming rate. I have a lovely little crop of potatoes, but some of them are super-tiny. Should I just leave...

Brother - much, much better since my Mum got back from her holiday in Austria. He was back at rock bottom again, calling me up to 30 times a day. I had to call the Doctors to him after another suicide...
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...
My friend has been over in LA visiting her mum in preparation for her to have cancer surgery. She had cancer 5 1/2 years ago, had treatment and was in remission. 18 months ago it came back,...

How the bloody hell do you keep an edge on a blade if you have one of these abominations?
This morning we found out that Liquorice had been run over and killed yesterday morning. Someone had found him and taken him home so we could collect his body but it was terrible having to identify...
I'm watching 8 out of 10 cats (fab as ever). I am thinking that the girl who was Dobby in Peepshow looks quite like me - or I like her. Odd. Maybe it's just her bad posture.
A bloke in our office has just had a confirmed diagnosis of Swine Flu (how the hell does that work - are they still taking swabs?). It was confirmed to us late this afternoon. The bloke in question...
So on the Beeb this morning, they were discussing Brits abroad. And as usual a mixed bag of perceptions, but according to the piece, the further afield we go, the better behaved we seem to be...

Dog/cat/penguin/monkey/whatever? I only just realised last night that OH doesn't have one in fact when I asked him he can't even remember having one. I've still got mine, AND I can remember the day I...
Can I make pizza dough tonight for use tomorrow lunch or will it not be happy by then? I have no idea how long the yeast stays functional in dough. I could do it in the morning but I will be really...
Hello. I'm thinking about kick-starting my new health and fitness routine with a two/three day detox. I just wondered if any of you have done it? What am I to expect from it? Do you have any tips for...
Hurrah! I have managed to rescue the leaven that I didn't feed for 4 weeks - poured off the orangey/blackish water and fed it twice during the week, removing some each time. Bread is now just about to...
I have a couple of loaves in the oven as I type this. I'm experimenting with Spelt flour. Is anyone else still looking after their leaven after all these months?
I am stuck for idea's on what to take pictures of. did you just wait until you went somewhere or have you set yourself things to find or had a topic? could anyone suggest a topic for me? please. TIA x...
My daughter, 7, is a good reader - I mean she reads well, has a good vocabulary, but she doesn't seem to enjoy it that much. What can I do to help her get more into reading? I lead by example (I...
Do you ever look at your husband/wife/partner and try and imagine you don't know them, and try to work out what your first impressions would be now? I look at photos of Mr FtG, or watch him from a...
I haven't seen my first love in probably 15 years. However, he still lives in the town my Mum and Dad live, as he and my Dad worked together for a while and Dad sometimes updates me. We've sent the...
