Discussions I've Participated In

Golly, not been round here for ages. How's it all going? I am trying to contact amihohu. I have some questions about game development. If you are here, can you reply (if you are willing to answer some...

It was my H's 31st birthday yesterday and I'm feeling really peeved and awkward about how my parents have been.. We did the whole opening of presents and cards and when he got to opening the card off...

Hey! So I'm a bit of a lurker and I saw a post a while ago about someone who got their OH a box thing every month from a website for his birthday - she might have called it a geek box or I might have...

Spent the weekend with the in laws, in the entire weekend, don't think I got a single sentence out, without the MIL talking loudly over me, leaving me to mumble the ends, or stop mid sentence...

I don't post very often, but have been known to comment occasionally, so hopefully this isn't too out of the blue. OH and I have been trying to buy a house. We started looking almost exactly a year...

You might need to ask those ultra fashionable husbands of yours, or perhaps you'll know - looking for a mens watch as a special gift, approximately £3-400? No idea what to look for or where to start...

Hey all, Could do with some of those famous hitched vibes! After looking for a house for 5 months, having an offer accepted, only to spend 2 further months faffing with surveys to find it had...

Anyone else doing this at the moment? I'm really fed up with it. London is a silly place when it comes to property. We found this house and really loved it 2 weeks ago. When we called to arrange a...

Hello you lovely Hitchers We are having a day trip to London in March. Having only ever been once before many years ago I could do with some advice of a sight seeing route. We were proposing getting...

Anyone watching this? I'm finding it really interesting. Have to say I didn't really realise that 4-5 pints a day could lead to liver disease bad enough to require a transplant

Hey all, Sorry, I realise this isn't a house buying/selling forum, but wanted to get your thoughts anyway! A house we are in the process of buying had the survey come back to say that it has some...

.....So the surveyors our mortgage company are using are being slow. The valuation was done on Monday, but apparently the guy who did it has been off sick, so hasn't signed off on it, so it's dragged...

So, I know we have a few gamers on hitched (although not sure if any come on Off Topic) and I was wondering if any of you have bought/are collecting the Nintendo amiibos? OH is a massive Nintendo fan,...

Hey all, We are on our first time buyer house hunt. We saw one yesterday, which was a great size. The main downsides for us were that it was near quite a busy road. The actual road it's on is a...

Bit of background. I got the younger of my two cats in January at (they said) about 3 months old. She had the worst case of worms/fleas I have ever seen and it literally took treatment for about 2...

Fed up of doing the majority of it myself. Can't justify hiring a cleaner. How do you split your housework and can it ever be 50/50, or is there always one person that ends up doing the lions share? ...

I read the leggings thread, as I wear leggings under dresses and skirts as opposed to tights as I HATE tights. But round here it is treated as inappropriate to wear leggings under dresses. So I was...

Hey all, So I have a 1980's themed do to go to, but I have no idea what to wear, argh! It's not strictly fancy dress per say, but more inspired by 80's... if that makes sense? Anyone seen anything...

As the subject says, any out there? I stopped being self employed in August, having been taken on permanently in the role I was previously contracting. The thing is, I'd really like to know how much...
