My autistic step son is really into cooking these days. He has also just got into making shapes from card and paper. So I thought that making some sweets to put in boxes he has made would be an ideal...
The FH is away this weekend. Was just getting ready to go out since a friend and I are going "Antique hunting" today and realised FH the fluffing numpty has taken my keys. Hence I can't lock...
My 13 year old has just started. She's laying on the sofa almost in tears saying her tummy hurts. I haven't got a hot water bottle. I've given her some soluable disprin (she won't take real pills)....
My 4 1/2 year old neutered male is acting quite strange. Since I moved in here, he has become extremely close to my other half's 8 year old spayed female. They are practically inseperable. However,...

I was kind of caught off balance tonight when the FH (god help him) announced we had dinner guests. Aaaarrrggggghhhh. I've stuck a joint of gammon in a pan in coke a la Nigella. What can I do with the...
My bread maker instructions make it very clear that I should put the ingredients in in the exact order in the recipe. The FH did it "his way" today and it went belly up. Can anyone explain...
Can anyone give me a good recipe for spicing pumpkin seeds, please. I've found two but one includes tabasco sauce (which I don't have) and one includes garlic salt (which I also don't have). I've got...
We are carving Jack O Lanterns today. My step son has just asked if we can save the seeds to grow our own pumpkin for next year. Can we do this? When do we plant them? How easy are they to grow?
I took some cod fillets out the freezer yesterday which I normally just serve with spuds and veg. I've decided I want to do something less boring tonight - it can't be spicy though cos one of our...
My FH was prescribed this yesterday (for depression). He took the first one last night. For the first time in ages he slept through the night. Got up took the kids to school and promptly went straight...
Ok, I am able to google, what I was hoping for is some personal recommendations. We have a situation here where my FH's ex is creating sheer bloody hell. The Court stuff I can do so when necessary....
When I had to have my cat put down, I was very pleased at the service I had received at the vets. I got them a card to say thank you and a box of Thorntons chocolates. Left them out on the Monday...
Had my weekly chat with mum tonight. Was lamenting the fact that FH did not get the job he was promised after all, his ex wife is being a total bitch and I have a streaming cold. I was saying how...
I'm having a tinker with a tree this afternoon because the weather is filthy. Thought I'd have a go at a branch that I know little about. Alfred's birth was registered in June 1942 in Peterborough. He...
I regularly let my step son make his own pizzas (one of the very few things he will eat) - at least if we do that, I can slip some pureed veg into the tomato sauce and he doesn't have a clue. However,...
I got up this morning and noticed that my lappy has been used overnight by one of the children. How can i check the history to see what sites were visited - I only want to check they were...
I know that adoption records are only open to the adoptee. However, when the child was born, there must have been an entry in the registers. Are the registers altered when the child is adopted or...
Right I last logged on a week ago last Friday before I cleared off on my holidays. We had a wonderful time, staying in some fantastic hotels and the weather was lovely. But what's been going on here?!...
