If you could, would you have people in to clean your house, wash your windows, do your ironing and keep your garden in order? It has just occurred to me that apart from a window cleaner my neighbours...
I have already mentioned on another thread the colleague who couldn't decide if it was a shoe or sandal day and consequently wore one of each. I've also worked with a chap who dropped his trousers and...
Did anyone see this? I have to admit that Cheryl Cole's career has largely passed me by. Beyond thumping a cloakroom attendant and being a judge on X-Factor I really don't know much about her, judging...
I've just opened a cupboard to find two unopened jars of honey have spontaneously sprung a leak. They have been in the cupboard untouched for at least a couple of months. I can't remember when they...
I've just found a bottle of muscle rub in the bathroom cabinet.
It contains extract of Rowan & Basil, can someone reassure me that Redman's real name isn't Basil? ;-)...
I'm reading a crime novel, OK so it's not a great literary work but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be edited and researched properly. The lead character has just 'got dressed and had a shower', well...
I've just been looking through some photo's on FB of the Chelsea Flower show and am seriously wishing I'd made more (any) effort to get tickets. Some of the gardens and displays in the floral tent are...
I had quesadillas for lunch and will continue the south american theme later when we have steak with a chimichurri sauce, griddled courgettes and new pots in a chilli and lime butter. I'll start off...

I am often intrigued by the number of people who don't like 'curry'. The dissenters of my acquaintance cite garlic, spice etc as their reasoning, yet go on to eat Thai, Mexican and Chinese food which...
I've just put the TV on to watch a Miss Marple. It's in B&W, I cannot remember the last time I watched a B&W film. I do remember watching a snooker match in B&W though, it took me half a...
I've just been tidying up my in-box and found a nice happy birthday email from Pizza Express offering me a bottle of Prosecco!!! I can feel a Romana Etna pizza coming on tomorrow lunchtime :-) Glad I...
Please bear with me and forgive my poor terminology...... I'm thinking about getting an IPad. It will be used as a more convenient web browser, for checking email and that's about it probably. My...
I was listening to Woman's Hour this morning and Oxfam are wanting unwanted bras for sale in their shops and to be sent to Senegal. They interviewed a number of women to determine their bra habits,...
I want a dry wipe notice board which is either magnetic or half pin board. Stationers such as Ryman are very practical and I want something stylish. I've looked at Heals, Happytat and Next. Any...
