Watching people like Derren Brown, Dynamo, David Blaine and other illusionists, do you think they use stooges? My OH is convinced they do- although the one person he knows who was filmed on Derren...
Excuse stupid question please... I am buying my son a laptop for 18th birthday, but he dislikes Windows 8 and wants Windows 7. However, they all seem to come with 8 at the moment. Can i just get a...
I notice this every year and now ordering Christmas presents, it's still annoying. My youngest is 10 years 4 months. Quite small for his age. I can only buy 9-10 years or 11-12. What's wrong with...
After weeks of waiting after the assessment, i got a call last week to say the tests have gone to Psychiatrist, but Camhs think my daughter does have ADHD. Had appointment with Psychiatrist today, who...
I have 3 cream leather sofas, which are donkey's years old- and look it. OH and i are planning to go to half-price sale at well-known furniture shop, but not quite sure what to look for. I like...
We had to disconnect TV, Sky, etc while having new carpets put in living room. Although it is all working again, if you choose a channel from the TV guide, they all say "no programme synopsis...
I managed to get an appointment with the diabetic nurse with my son (a miracle in itself). I gave her the readings and she said they sound fairly normal. She did a fingerprick and urine test and both...
Ten-year-old son complained yesterday of being "always thirsty". Out of interest, i, er, asked to borrow client's blood sugar machine (as you do) and have now scared myself. His reading is 14.9. Have...
Never a truer word spoken than what you put on my last question. Daughter arrested Friday night along with a friend for assaulting a policeman. Both girls had apparently been drinking, they lost each...
My daughter has an assessment on Friday for ADHD. While I realise it exists and can be properly diagnosed by professionals, I also think some parents self-diagnose their children as an excuse (sorry)....
Good morning, everyone. This is 'Joan the Wad', Queen of the Pixies, here for the last of September's challenges. Weekend off work for me, so we'll be going for a long dog-walk, dropping one daughter...

Hi All, this is 'Joan the Wad', Queen of the Pixies, here to set your challenges for September. I went to see my 88 year old client today and we were talking about dog-walking. She asked if we could...
Or the intention? Just wondering, from a few threads I've seen recently, whether a sentence should reflect when someone has died, or whether it is the "action" that should be punished. For example, if...
You may know, my sister and i do our own homecare business. We take off 2 weeks a year to take the children away in the summer. Because we obviously can't leave people in the lurch, we ask them if...
