As per title really, I'm just curious if anyones divorced and kept their married name. If so did you still keep the 'Mrs' too? Found out yesterday that as I did keep my OH's name when we divorced, I...
When I was a child herbs, garlic, chilli etc were never (and I do mean never) used in everyday cooking by my mum. I was reminded of this the other week when I spent a few days at my aunt's house and...

Ok, 6 of us have decided to do our own version of Come Dine With Me. I'm not amazingly worried about 3 of the guests as they're not the best cooks but one is fab and I really really want to beat him!...
I've got two whole days' gardening leave. And then I have to be back in the office on Monday ? This is a becoming a bit of a pattern - I had three days off last week, one the week before. I'm hoping...
Hello fellow BritMilFit people There's not been a thread for a while so I thought I'd start one to see how people are getting on. I'm going to my 6th session tonight, so that is twice a week for 3...
I mentioned this on legless' dinner thread but it's still making me chuckle so thought I would ask for any weird and wonderful things/combinations you have eaten recently. Mum and I were at my...

Do you have many friends? How often do you speak to them? Do you have a best friend? How often do you see your friends? How do you know your better friends - school? work? through OH?
I find I'm getting better at saying no when I don't want to do something. Still not great at it though. H on the other hand, would never do anything he didn't want to! A good friend of ours asked H to...
So whats on the menu this evening? I'm following Weight Watchers at the min and due to the Indian I had on Thursday I'm very low on points. We're having sandwich steak in pittas with roasted veg. Let...
As a young teenager I absolutely loved reading Point Horror books. My girlfriends and I would swap books with each other once we'd finished. They were so gripping and scary and I felt really old and...
Random title but wasn't sure how to call it. I have a friend i've known for about 5 years. we met through our last jobs, worked together for the first 3 years and then we got new jobs in different...
When I was younger I was quite interested in the supernatural, afterlife, pondering about whether there was a God and all that type of thing. For a short time I considered myself a spiritualist and...
We're only just looking and not even on the market yet but I can see this really winding me up as time goes on. I rang an agent yesterday to book a viewing on four houses, that was 9.30am. At 1.30pm I...
Hello all. We recently did our little room up as a dressing room, it has a few chest of drawers in and a wardrobe. I painted the whole room white and put white furniture in, it looks fab. The idea was...

I was just about to post a couple of old Ikea standartd lamps in Freecycle when I looked them up on the Ikea site and found they only cost £3.99 each new. Obviously it saves someone a trip to Ikea...
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...
Right, I have a good friend coming over for dinner. I am ashamed to say I have never cooked for her, for reasons I shall explain. She's an AMAZING cook, in fact it goes way beyond that, she's a chef...
Since Chicken seems to be AWOL... LOML is in Newcastle so I have a solitary weekend planned. I'm off to the private view of a friend's exhibition on Oxford tonight (much less glam than it sounds!) -...
How often do you have takeaways? On the cost of food thread lots of people were talking about one or two takeaways a week. The last time i had a takeaway was April 28th 2007 ? Living in a small, rural...
Just had some feedback from a viewing... Apparently my house needs "too much work" doing to it. I paused for a second and asked the agent to repeat that, and he said that he found it just as...
R-A's earlier comment "I see the parks and my Lido and the fab diversity and sense of community where other people see the gun crime and used syringes" got me thinking about how certain areas develop...
I am trying to remember when I first shaved my legs, think I was probably about 10? I remember having lots of cuts!! My daughter is coming up eight and whilst I most def think this is too young to...
Or has anyone been issued that ultimatum? If so what was the outcome?
What's cooking ce soir? LOML has offered to go to the butcher on the way home so I have carte blanche, but no idea what I feel like. Whatever it is, we'll be having salad with it but that is the only...
H and I are off to friends for dinner on Friday and they have asked me to sort pudding. I want to try something a bit different and yummy but have no idea what. Usually I would do a cake or cheesecake...
