My 13 y/o step daughter has turned up with a tube of this. A few weeks ago she had a rash on her tummy - personally I thought it was just heat rash - or muck rash (because despite my constant nagging...
Back in the spring I really butchered one of my OH's plants. I just thought it was unruly and leggy and needed dealing with. Now he is amazed that it has flowered!!!! Its got quite dense foliage and...
Well another week grinds excrutiatingly to a close. Supposed to be my last day at work for a fortnight, but that doesn't look too likely now. My new phone comes today so that's something to look...
This thread is for all of you who have got really really annoyed at something or someone today. I am SO furious with the BF I could swing for him the stupid, silly, selfish idiotic prick. Join me in a...
Bobjugs thread on eels up yer bum made me think of fishing. Last time I went fishing was this time last year at Scammadale in Scotland. A perfect day in brilliant sunshine just fly fishing all day....
OK you clever lot - I need to find a Will! Chap (ggg grandfather) - James Thurlby died in North Rauceby in 1848. I have found the details on the Death Duties register of FmP for PCC and County Court...

Than having two bored children at home when both me and the BF have to work today. The one thing worse is that one has a really bad tummy, bless the poor little thing. I'm on the second lot of washing...

I should probably have put this in weather - but no-one goes in there and I know Chatterbankers are a mine of useful information. Does anyone know of a website that will tell me what the weather was...
I bought a coriander plant which I put in the garden. Harvested a few leaves and now it has bolted. I am not too bothered because I will use the seeds, but once I have harvested the seeds is the plant...
No, that's not an instruction!! For the first time ever, I have grown some veg this year. So far all we are eating is salad leaves. When can I tell when the following are ready:- beetroot fennel...
