It's my turn to make supper tonight and to my shame I realise I've never given my children mince and tatties. We used to have it every week with doughballs (dumplings) made by my gran. So..... fry off...

I've got a 13 year old car and would like to get a new car through the scrappage scheme. We did have a look with Nissan (would like a Micra, I love having a small car) but they told us they couldn't...

I gave blood yesterday. It was slightly problematic as the flow was slow and they had to reseat the needle in the vein four times. This was my 11th donation and it hasn't happened before. My arm was...

Last year it was daddy long legs invading my house, this year it's thunder bugs! All our doors and windows are shut yet they are still crawling all over me ? Is it just me or are they everywhere this...

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...

How was it for you? I went Friday night and I can honestly say it was one of the best nights of my life. I cried twice, once during Never Forget when I looked around the stadium and saw all the hands...

Who with and where? Me and my sister will the the ones squealing in block 551 (eta seating plan)

This probably going to sound silly so apologies in advance. I watched this film the other day and it had this fantastic love story in, really touching. I'm now reading the book, which is the wrong...

I've just been sent a "gift book" to review at work. It's a collection of quotes from famous people about getting through hard times. I fucking hate gift books - they give the rage. So for some reason...

We're about to go shopping for a new car, as yet undecided whether to go for something brand new or a couple of years old - depends on the offers available! We have a car to part exchange, it's 8...

I know I don't post a lot here, and so I'm sorry to ask but there seem to be lot of doggy experts on hitched? We have just (two days ago) adopted two gorgeous old english mastiffs, they are fabulous...

I have just spotted one of our neighbours affixing a small brass sign to the front of his house bearing the legend "The Pinery". Now bearing in mind this is a pretty newish estate full of nice enough...

Inspired by the car thread ? We're (hopefully) getting a puppy in the summer so I hoped you'd be kind enough to tell me the names of dogs you know please? If your name is picked, the lucky winner will...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. My husband and i are going to Newquay with our 3 year old and another couple and their 3 year old. Does anyone have any reccomendations on what to do and where to...

Although we agreed we would get married at some point earlier on, we officially got engaged in December 2003 and married May 2004 so five months. I didn't find it hard to plan a wedding in that time...

I want to do this fake letter style but fear Mrs J won't forgive me. My colleague has, over the last 5 months or so, lost a stone. She looks great. I understand that it's taken her a lot of time and...

Mr j just asked me i really dont care - but suppose i should specify something so it isnt an onerous decision for whoever has to make it my view is that it is all just compost and they can do whatever...

So I have my brand new shiny car which isn't even a week old yet and is less than shiny anymore ?. I've never been that bothered about washing/cleaning a car very often (get it washed about once every...

Just pondering this really. Hillsborough is often in the news (and not just because of a notable anniversary) but one rarely hears anything more about Piper Alpha (167 dead), the Marchionesse (51...

Just thinking (only thinking at the moment) about loaning a pony. Was just wondering what other things I need to ask about apart from livery costs? All I know is that they want the pony ridden at...

Just having a heated debate with OH. I came downstairs to find our front door wide open (well I say front but technically it's on the side of the house). I asked him why the front door is wide open...

I've just read the dog whisperer thread and didn't like to derail it with my questions so I wondered if I could have some advice? We have an 18 month old collie cross dog, he was a rescue dog and has...

I'm going for either Cornish Sett or Irish Invader as both places are close to my heart. Yep - I'm being that scientific about it! ?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7980747.stm Uvavu! Iranu! I hope the dove from above will be resurrected.

There are two really strong favourites this year, but I still fancy Kilbeggan Blade and Rambling Minster. Could still be worth a cheeky each-way on Comply Or Die.

OK, if I was going to play pass the parcel to end up with a tiffany necklace, I may not complain but on the whole I do not understand why grown women need daft games. I am, for example, perfectly...

I need to urgently book a hotel near the European Commission in Brussels. Is anyone familar with this area? Many thanks in advance, F&G
