I am sure I posted a thread about this in 2009 and there were some great ideas, but I can't find it. The OH has just asked if I will host a Christmas party. Originally it was about 12 people, now it...
What are your favourite type of sausages? There are loads of different varieties available now, but are there any you would like to see? I'm thinking of buying a sausage machine and was just wondering...
I make my own - either dough based or potato based. However, I would like to encourage the little man for whom I make these bases to eat eggs - anyone got any ideas how I could incorporate eggs into...
Last week my OH laid a new oiled engineered oak floor. Last night my OH locked one of the cats in the room. Consequence was that kitty was desperate to "go" and left a lovely stinking pile...
It's Friday afternoon - the best bit of the working week. Random Friday thread - have you had a good week? What have you achieved? What plans do you have for the weekend? So as not to exclude those...
Anyone have any direct experience or good guidelines on the CAF process please? Is the form meant to be used by a student social worker to make unsupported allegations about one parent who is then...

I have an 07 plate Mercedes SLK. I love that bloody car. It's got 85k on the clock. The OH has just managed to sell it (not that I asked him to, so that is an issue between us) - he got £10k for...
Last weekend, when we put the clocks back, my girls (chickens - who go to bed at dusk) were going to bed at 5.15pm.
7 days later, they are tucked up at 4.35pm. What a difference a week makes!...
I was recently diagnosed with renal colic caused by kidney stones. I've been given some painkillers (mefemanic acid), which do help dull it but don't really kill the pain. I had a particularly vicious...
Just had to share this since I am still crying with laughter. We had my step son at the weekend. He has significant learning disorder. To help him communicate we have a white board in the kitchen...
And another week grinds to a close - we are in the home straight now. Any nice plans for the weekend? Or not so nice ones? Will you be cheering for the All Blacks or the French or will it pass you by?...
I just finished a phone call which had made me really mad. I stood in the garden and used some errrrr "industrial" language. A few minutes later my mobile rang and it was the person I had...
I've come up with two ideas for the OH's birthday next month (if he lives that long!) but am being jolly indecisive! What do you guys think:- Option A - I take him away to a lovely hotel eg...
The freeview TV upstairs used to get loads of channels (like Dave, Yesterday and Sky 3). On Saturday it refused to get a signal. Anyway, I managed to sort it out last night by retuning it. I've lost...
Anyone know what the going rate is to lay a wood floor in east of england area?! I'm going to call round for some quotes, but I reckon it's got to be worth paying to have someone in. All materials...
My OH has gone into a DIY frenzy. Admittedly he made a jolly good job of the job he did at the weekend (although not quite finished). He is half way through the next job which involves power tools and...
