Haven't been on for ages so thought I would just pop on and see how everyone is doing. Life is as hectic as ever in the Lannie household. Sadly H's dad is near the end of his fight with cancer and the...
After running the marathon yesterday!! What an experience though, I enojyed it immensely. I never ever thought I would but I did, so much so that I am now trying to get a place in the NY marathon in...

We're currently thinking of changing my Puegeot 306 hatchback for a mid-size 7 seat MPV (VW Touran sized) but all you ever hear are bad things. Does everyone just put up with them for practicality...
Looking at getting an A4 - probably the 2.0 TDi. Anyone with any experience of the new model? Looks nice enough, bigger than the BMW and better specced although not quite as nice a drive (not that it...
We were discussing this over the weekend. Mr Boop and I met when we were both actively rowing, had a large group of mutual friends, and a lifestyle that meant we spent a lot of time together simply...
If you went to a wedding/event and all they had on the kids menu was chicken nuggets chips and beans? x

A local nursery placed an advert in the magazine in the summer but didn't pay the bill. We sent them a reminder as per usual, no response, so we phoned and were told the bill had been paid. There was...
For those that helped me (particularly Nick) with the DSLR I wanted for H, he is now the proud owner of a Nikon D700 and is delighted with it. Thanks again.

I have currently got a Blackberry Pearl and I mostly like it although the keys are a little fiddly and the ring tones drive me nuts! I was this week going to go and source myself a 3G iphone in...
