I've been suffering from migraines after my Personal Training sessions at the gym. Not every time (and interestingly not after any other session that I do) but out of 10 PT sessions, I've had five...

It's a big deal, right? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/dec/13/bbc-crufts-animal-welfare I remember watching the original documentary, and it seems it's having wise-reaching consequences - good...

You know the sort of thing they used to do on Life Laundry? I was thinking of getting my mum a day's worth of help as she is such a horder she could do with help in sorting and organising. Anyone used...

Is it just me? Why exactly did we "do the right thing", look ahead, see that the bubble was likely to burst, not mortgage ourselves to the hilt, take on a house that we could afford on one salary -...

Has anyone else been tempted to tell their work what they think of them when they leave a job? H and I were talking about it (I am being made redundant) and wondered if anyone had actually done it. I...

I've been living alone for almost 4 months now and managing fairly well. However, a couple of friends and acquaintances have had accidents recently (minor and fatal) and it's made me think. I started...

That aren't Yo Sushi type, but not bank breakingly expensive. I went to Rocca in Charlotte street a few months ago which was fab but we are trying not to splurge and really fancy sushi for tonight....

She's a bit dimb on occasions. I couldn't stop laughing today. We were in a shop when she loudly said "Have you heard about those pirates taking over that ship". I replied no. To which she said "I...

When i went to london and saw the annie liebowitz exhibition last week i saw this really interesting workshop that they do for young people where they take 50 items to make a self portrait. So i'm...

Sorry, this is a bit long. Some of you may have seen my post a few days ago asking for advice on sending a letter to my childminder. I'll try and be brief. Background is that I had 2 childminders (E...

Do you really feel safe doing online banking? I conduct an online survey on this topic (besides planning my wedding ), and I am very interested in your opinion. If you participate in the survey, you...

I had a Big Meeting recently and recorded it on my dictaphone. They brought along their own administrator to take notes/minutes too and weren't expecting me to record it. I agreed to send them a copy...

Jam's been gone 2 weeks now, with utterly no sign. Anyone got any stories of their cats that went missing for 3 years and turned up at their new house, even if the cat had never visited that you can...

Background (as if there's ANYONE who doesn't know! lol) - WillyThePink was previously married and has an almost 8yr old son by his first wife. Ex MrsWTP is quite a difficult person to deal with - she...

I've never done one of these before, but I have been mulling this over since Friday and really feel I need an outsider's perspective. I'm specially interested in what schoolteachers think, but...

A few 'friends' have posted pictures of an un p.c party one of them had for their birthday. Among the room decorations they had a hanging skeleton, complete with noose, with the sign 'Bridgend'...

I have decided I need a few new suits for my return to work from mat leave, partly because I haven't managed to lose my chocolate baby weight and partly because it is looking like I may have to get a...

I'm feeling a little bit annoyed by the bad press Northern Rock has been getting today. People complained when the government bailed them out with tax payers money. Keen to pay it back they are being...

Sorry, tried googling and direct.gov.uk but couldn't find the answer. Is it legal to keep a car parked on the road if it isn't MOTd? Mine is due today but for financial reasons I'd rather wait until...

Apparently that's what Lupus is, according to BBC3. Yes it's closely related to athritis but it's also so much more. It drives me mad when statements like this are made, it just perpetuates the...

I fully admit I can swear like an old sailor but it really needles me when people swear openly in public i.e. in the street, gym changing room etc. I have absolutely no idea why I make this...

We are just about to let our flat out as we really need to move & haven't sold despite it being on the market for almost a year. We are first time landlords so a bit unsure of things although we...
