Sorry to be a pain as l know this has been done to death but could you help me understand the difference between the different policies. I have an 18 month old and a 2 year old if that makes a...

Can't really declare this on FB, as my parents are on there and I am somewhat in denial about being a smoker. I could never admit it to my father (although my step mum isn't daft - she knew)...

I can't believe I am on day 12 of not smoking!! I have endured hanging out with smoking friends, heavy nights out on the lash, and I still told the fags to eff off! Over the last decade of puffing...

As you may know from a previous post, I am soon going to be relocating to Cambridgeshire/Suffolk/Hertfordshire area. I think it will give me the kick up the bum I need to really think about what...

Is the first year of marriage meant to be so hard?! Mr Erin and l are really not getting on at the moment. This morning’s argument was why it is rude when we go to Ireland to scatter my Dad’s ashes to...

My mother is turning into my very own wedding nightmare. Not only did she invite a bunch of people to our ceremony / wedding breakfast without clearing it with us (luckily on this occasion we'd...

Who's with me? I have decided to celebrate (insert something here) and have therefore cracked open the sloe gin my FFIL gave me at Christmas. He makes it himself and it is delicious, but will...

I remember there was a thread about this recently, is anyone else still doing it? I am proud to say that for the first time today I ran a full 5k! I did it in 37 minutes so want to work on improving...

Good evening lovely hitchers. This is a very long shot, but has anyone come across any wedding anniversary cards with either hedgehogs or giraffes on at all? My husband loves both animals, but I'm...

In honour of Twiga, I am signing up for my local race for life. I do it most years, but the tears I am leaking now learning of her lost battle have spurred me into signing up right now.

This is a really pointless post, but after the sad news this week, I decided life was too short to waste any time, so me and husband decided to have a date night, and are sat inside drinking...

Any of you girls planning one? Or think its "nice"? I am a very chatty girl generally and always have a lot to say, although very bad at public speaking! I want to do a little speech of my own, not...

Hi ladies, I'm fairly new here, so apologies if this thread has already been discussed a million times and I've just not found it! We were thinking of having wedding favours of a photoframe (plain,...

What are people's opinions. I've managed to get myself embroiled in a debate over on FB. I have several chums who are teachers and I think our very own PB is one? Here is my cabbage. I am really on...

Hi all! I'm a new(ish) bride and we're starting to plan our wedding. I should be excited but to be honest I'm not and the reason why is budget. For reasons I won't go in to, we're having to keep our...
