This isn't meant to be serious or poke fun at people losing their jobs etc. but let's face it, there are certain companies out there who do not deserve to be trading. I'd like to nominate Sports...

What do people wear on their feet in winter? This is going to sound totally ridiculous but I have a chronic fear of falling because (particularly in winter) I literally seem to spend 90% of my time on...

Forget BOB signs, 'Princess on Board' and the like. Last night, on the way home, I was following a car which had this message actually printed on the tailgate in vinyl graphics - along with associated...

Is this widely used? Just testing something out....

Some Hitchers are really going through some horrible things at the moment, and some of the posts (especially the get it off your chest thread) have moved me to tears. In general the news is full of...

Do you remember the first time you slept with your OH? Does he? I quite often think about it ?? but was surprised to discover that H doesn't remember it at all. I must have been good, eh? ?

Does anyone know what this is called? I thought it was called space boots ? You have a bar above a doorframe and you hang yourself from it via special boots/ankle cuffs - it really helps stretch your...

OK, corn snacks if I want to be accurate! http://www.retailbrands.co.uk/our-brands/ellert/peanut-puffs.html I used to love these when my dad was based in Germany. I used to live off crisps like this...

Mr Mal is going to be away over christmas and back on 31st Dec. He wants me to get him a Wii. First of all, I don't know which games to get with it, what would you recommend? Second of all, are they...

I know it is different in everyone but last week I was given antibiotics for a nasty chest infection, they did hardly anything and I was poorly all week. I went back to the doctors today as I was very...

Right, second time lucky . . I have just written a huge update, went to post it and lost the internet so lost everything I wrote. ggrrrrrrrrrrrr Thank you again for all of your help, hugs and support...

I though you needed less as you got older but I'm constantly shattered. I went to bed at midnight last night and woke up at 6.45 - I look rough as and can barely keep my eyes open. I remember staying...

Not very interesting sorry! I have a hospital appointment in a couple of weeks for an endoscopy, I have a dodgy stomach and I don't absorb vitamin B12 so they just want to work out what's going on (it...

I have advertised a brass double headboard to be taken away. I have had the following replies.. Hi [name] I would so love to have your headboard if by chance it is still available. I am disabled with...

Yesterday, I saw a car sporting the sign 'Yummy Mummy on Board'. Is this indeed worse than the much criticised Baby on Board signs?

Just watched last night's ep. ? Disappointed.

How long after submitting your thesis did you have your viva? H submitted his thesis last Friday and we'd like to get away on holiday as it's been such a hard slog (for him- and me) but not sure how...

Anyone watching? Who is the blonde housemate, where have I seen her before? And one of the other housemates, he was the rapist in Hollyoaks, wasn't he?

I saw a trailer last night for a zombie TV programme set in the BB house, where all the world outside turns in zombies and the only people left are in the house. For someone who loves both things, I'm...

Surely it has a proper purpose, it's not just a fancy dash?

I just came close to losing my temper in the post office*, which is completely unlike me. I suspect PMT. My periods haven't yet returned after having a baby so I don't know when I'm due, but am...

Evening everyone. Someone in my family is a celeb lookalike and i have never paid much attention to it really but today he gave me the site he is signed to and i have just spent the past 20 mins...

Hey Lovelies, I am thinking about what to walk down the aisle to - we are having a civil wedding - and am feeling monumentally uninspired. Thing is, I quite like a bit of alternative/rock - No Doubt,...
