Discussions I've Participated In

I am having a new house built and have been told by Persimmon who are building it that we cannot have laminate flooring as its a new house. We went to a carpet shop yesterday to arrange to get a quote...

For Christmas we had planned to take a big vacation to a ranch in Arizona. Unfortunately, MrNeo's job situation has changed and we had to cancel that vacation as it would be too expensive and a bit...

I have an ongoing problem in that I work 2 days per week, but am frequently made to feel as though I am underperforming if I don't do far more (ideally full time). I made it explicit on my CV and at...

I've got to choose a kitchen for a leased property. It's 99% going to be an HMO, so the traffic will be high. The previous kitchen was white. It showed the dirt, but not tremendously considering....

Down in London village for a business trip during the week, with a few colleagues. Whilst in the taxi from Paddington to Docklands, my very lovely admin assistant (age, 25, uni educated) pointed out...

There must be such a thing right? I know there's a risk my arse will look the size of a small planet, but I really need higher waisted jeans to deal with the post-section overhang. I've found some...

I work part time in a male-orientated workplace, my days are Tues, Weds and Thurs. In many ways I’m totally discriminated against, there’s lots of perks that the guys get, both office and shop floor,...

Before I start, this post is not meant to start a debate on the validity or use of Parent and Child parking spaces! I visited the supermarket yesterday and parked in a P&C space. I have a Vauxhall...

A bit of background; my auntie (mum's sister, plus uncle and cousin who is 9 years older than me) and I were always really close, espcially when I was much younger. I was their only niece for 22...

I'm making my own crackers and want to include some jokes that are a little better than the standard cracker joke. Googling for jokes is so unrewarding, but this is what I have so far - anyone got any...

Hi We have recently moved across the county and as we couldn't sell our old place in time, we left the keys with H's parents to show people round if anyone wanted to view the property. I wasn't 100%...

I've decided to make crackers this year, so I can put additional little gifts inside - earrings/necklaces for the women and miniature aftershaves for the guys. So, having gone and bought the gifts I...

I need to choose a new car- something small and nippy enough for London but big enough to take two children and associated clobber, including a biggish buggy. My first thoughts were to get something...

We have a Vectra and every winter we raelise just how cr@p the headlights are on dip. We really struggle to see especially when there are oncoming vehicles. Does anyone else find this with their...

I remember seeing a website on here selling boots for wide calves, does anyone still have the link? thanks in advance

I was lurking on a thread a while back when these were recommended as being good jeans and not low rise. I went to try some today with this rec in mind and hey presto they are fab! Can't believe the...

Off work today and just popped into our local co-op to get some milk and the paper, went to the checkout and infront of me was an elderly lady who had had her shopping all scanned through but was...
