I have googled this, but when is tonight's episode (episode 3) of In the Dark on again (my Sky box is being a bit and won't connect to the Internet so I can't check it that way). Would rather not...
Went to my daughter's year 6 leavers assembly this morning where all of the pupils receive an engraved silver plate and an award of some sort. My daughter received her's for academic progress in...
Youngest three received their school reports today, which were excellent and my eldest daughter received her SATs results which were fabulous (gobsmackingly good). What pleased me most was how modest...
I've recently noticed a man who appears to be homeless hanging about the village. He catches the bus from town (my son says he's seen him in town). I have said hello to him each time I've seen him as...
Absolutely love this house - I can't believe how different things are living here. The kids are even more chilled and happy. They're still in the garden now, the three youngest are in the pool (a...
Booked a van to hire for today, did it on the net and entered payment details and licence details. Himself went to get it and they wouldn't give it to him without the debit card we used (which was...
Got the keys to our new (rented) house today. It's so nice! Made me realise just how miserable we've been living here, it's not a home it's always felt so temporary. We've never had our stuff out, no...

My youngest daughter, nearly 9 years old, has been having problems with another girl in her class for some time. This other girl is sweetness and light to my daughter in the classroom and then is...
What's the best recipe for short crust pastry (I can't remember making any since school). I've seen some recipes saying just butter (and flour obviously) and some saying 1/2 butter 1/2 lard. Also, how...
If any of you have Sky, if you log into your account it will tell you what free gift you are eligible for and how to claim it. I'm getting three months free box sets (apparently) and I only got the...
Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe for cornbread that doesn't use cornmeal (I can't get it delivered and I'm not going to the shops looking for it). Thank you.
Has anyone seen bacon and cheese rolls on sale anywhere? I got them from M & S last year but I have just checked their website and I can't see them....
I've made a lasagne and put it in the fridge for tomorrow (I'm pretty sure that I've read somewhere that it tastes better if you do this). Before I cook it tomorrow do I need to let it reach room...
We are going for an Indian tonight and the kids want to try something new, they usually have a korma. What would be the next one to try - the menu is not very helpful, it says things like 'served in a...
