My former sister-in-law's mother has just suddenly died. I was quite close to my ex-SIL when she was married to my brother, but after a very ugly divorce I just didn't see her as I felt my loyalty...
Just had my weekly shop delivered by a certain supermarket. The driver (a lovely man) was a bit shaken, on asking if he was ok he told me that he had just been assaulted by the previous customer...
I was reading this article about Prince George and his Godparents. I noticed that Zara Tindall is to be a Godmother. She is also described as "wife of former England rugby player Mike Tindall". Now, I...
My FIL has just been diagnosed with diabetes (Type 2). He's currently in hospital with a blood infection (that's how they discovered the diabetes), so I'm still not up to speed with what he can and...
Finally my GP has recognised that my hormones are wonky! She has suggested that I try the IUD, but I'm really not keen on it. I'd like to try the POP, but due to my hormones I'm overweight. Can I...
Or even noticed I wasn't here?
I didn't flounce, before anyone asks. I've just been busy and my computer slowly died a death. So I have a new PC and am back to the fold.
What have I missed?...
I've just got a new PC with Windows 8. I've installed Microsoft 2007 (I'm too tight to buy anything newer). I'm having a bit of bother with Outlook. When I try to delete an email, it just scores...
What exactly do hives look/feel like? (Stupid question of the day!) I've developed itchy parts on my legs and arms. Of course I've scratched them and now have white raised lumps to show for it. I've...
Following on from a random thought I had earlier today... When we talk about landmarks being so many feet about sea level, where is that base level taken? Is it high tide or low tide? Can someone...
Not content with ruining my bikini body and ending my career, #1 child (3 years old) has insisted on growing narrow feet... She's measuring at a 8.5d (Clarks) or a 9.5 (Start Rite). I cannot find any...
After talking to my ancient Granny (90), I have discovered that our youngest daughter shares her name with a great great great great Aunt of mine. Same first name and second name (different spelling)....
Can anyone recommend a good supplier of compost on the internet?
I'd like to get it delivered as I'm sick of just getting a few bags at a time in the back of the car!...
It was bad enough being in labour knowing my mother was sitting by her phone waiting for news. Must be horrible knowing that the world's press are camped on the hospital doorstep speculation how many...
I'm looking for something to hang on the back door to keep the blooming blackbird out when I leave the door open in this lovely weather! I was thinking about those beaded curtain jobs, but I really...
Kids are having a wee nap so I thought I'd treat myself to a sit down and a nice cold drink. Opened a bottle of juice produced by a very large drinks firm and poured it into my glass. A dozen little...
(Or however you spell it!)
I have terrible hayfever and take a one-a-day tablet (over the counter), can I take two? 12 hours apart? I'm finding that the one-a-day isn't lasting all day....
Can anyone recommend a good toaster? I've had a succession of cheap, supermarket own brand toasters which cremate bread with alarming ease. I'd be willing to pay a decent amount of money if I could...
#1 daughter has decided to decorate her room with blue crayon. It's all over the window, her bed frame, the wall and the side of the wardrobe. She was dispatched to the naughty step, where she then...
(Don't read this if you are likely to feel queasy at the mention of "women's things".) Since having the kids (last one is a year old), my periods have been horrendous. They are still bang on time each...
