Discussions I've Participated In

Over the next while, I'm identifying and taking photos of 30 things which make me happy. Some will be deep, others will be flippant and not in any particular order. I've only got two so far as I've...

Just trying to work out budgets and looking at the last few months we're probably spending nearly £260 (on average) on food for 2 of us. That's a bit much isn't it? Caught the start of the article on...

?An old school friend has just tracked me down on facebook as she's trying to organise a big reunion of our year group next summer. Because of her contact, I've now made contact with my two best...

I had a message sent to me on facebook yesterday. At first it just looked like a usual message from my old school friend D. When I actually read the message it was from her brother saying that D had...

Just pondering. Do you still do snogging and how long have you been together? We've been together for 11 years so not much snoggage these days. I think that's normal though.

I ask because my 5 yr old freezer is playing up. It's frost-free but it is frosted up. And the fan is working overtime, so it is REALLY noisy (so much so I have to keep the hall/kitchen door shut or I...

I'm thinking of booking to go there, but I'm not sure of the best area to stay (the hotels can be chosen by area). Or can anyone recommend a resonably priced hotel which would suit a 3 day mid week...

Does it? I have a black tie do in September. Do I need a long dress? I haven't got any but am happy to get one if necessary. I just don't want to get it wrong and look like a tit.

What would you spend your winnings on? Assuming it's enough so you never need work again. I would live in a cottage that's a bit ramshackle and chaotic, but filled with stuff I like. I would pay...

One of those 'pick a five' things on Facebook, Which famous people have you been told you look like.... Off you go then.

Following on from who do you look like.....who would you look like if you could just press a button and be someone else? I would be Heidi Klum, I think she is gorgeous.

What would you do differently on your wedding day if you could go back and do it again?? x

This made me laugh so I thought I'd share.... Peter invited his mother for dinner, during the course of the meal his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome Peter's flatmate, Simon, was. She had...

I want to stop smoking, I've been on around 15 a day since I was 11 (I'm 26 now) and enough is enough - I've tried cold turkey before, lasted 4 days and H and I nearly killed each other, he's huffy...
