I wonder if there is anyone around who has served some time (or knows someone that has). I was looking for some info on the financial affairs of prisoners to help with something. I wondered if...
We all see these scams from time to time. My own grandparents were burgled on Friday - their neighbours at the same time but "distraction" and "can I get my ball out of your garden mister" ploy was...
I know it's early, and I know I don't officially finish til 5.30 - but shame not to enjoy a glass of wine in the last of the afternoon sun. Cheers all.
I didn't go on my evening out because my mother texted me to say that my grandparents (in their 80s) had been burgled and it kind of put a dampner on things. Grandad had been outside in the garden and...
I am in contact with a distant relative from Australia and we are both trying to find out what happened to one of our ancestors. Named Henry Hurry, he was born in 1829 in Thorney, Cambridgeshire to...
I received an email earlier saying I had an egreetings card. Stupidly I opened it since a friend had said he was sending me something earlier. My desktop then went bright blue with a message that said...
I've been quite down just lately. Friend called tonight for a chat and he said I sounded so pi$$ed off, he has cancelled his night out with the lads and is driving all the way from North Lincolnshire...
I got a new computer in March with Windows Mail on it (v similar to Outlook). It is version 6.0.6000 and runs with Vista. I use my home email a lot for emailing clients and it appears that some of...
I am a bit gutted because I have just had to cancel my two week holiday for later this month with friends due to work. I DESPERATELY need a break so I was thinking of going off somewhere hot on my own...

Spent all day on the beach today and slapped on copious amounts of factor 3000 at regular intervals, apart from my feet and lower legs (I had full length trousers on, but rolled them up to go in the...
Can you believe at the age of 37 I have never cooked for children?! My mouth operated without the backup of my brain on Saturday night and I invited a friend of mine and his two kids (aged 8 and 9) to...
My best friend has a beautiful tricolour border collie, We think she is probably about 11 (we have no idea since she was a rescue dog). Last week (Sat) she was taken to the vets for a check up (all...
My grandparents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary next month. We are organising a party at the family home. Any ideas what we can do to make it more special. To give it some context, they were...
This is not a problem at all - in fact its really endearing and sweet but, I am just curious as to why my cat behaves like she does. I had her as a kitten when she was 8 weeks old, she was spayed at...
I have just bought myself a box of beautiful yellow gerbera. But I know they don't last long as a cut flower. Can anyone suggest anything to prolong their display in the vase, please?
I have been thinking for some months about getting a border collie pup. I work from home a lot of the time, so there is no problem with it being unattended. I live in the country, so walks are...

I bought two abulitions last year which were beautiful. They survived the winter against the house wall and I noticed today that they are throwing out new buds off the old growth. Do I cut them back...
