Is there anything I can do to either stop the ends of my fingers splitting (tiny little cuts that run vertically up from the nails) or to make them heal quicker. I've only got one at the moment but I...
I have some friends who are moving away. They will be moving into their own home for the first time (they live in Army accommodation at the moment) and I want to buy something for their son (I'll give...
I pre-ordered an X Box game from what appeared to be a reputable seller on EBay and he was unable to supply the item. I was annoyed but his e mail (to all 1,500+ people who had also pre-ordered it...
Just watching Coronation Street and someone has a copy of Jack's funeral service with Jack's photo on the front. At both my mother and grandfather's funerals recently they had their photos on the...
Anyone actually met a nice headteacher's secretary (or Headteacher's PA or School Manager or whatever else they call themselves)? The one at our local primary school has been away for six weeks and...
Bought a small sewing kit recently and I have just opened it. Most of the bits are easy to identify but there is one thing in there that I have no idea about. It is a small metal wheel on a handle and...

Out of curiosity (I am doing a scan thing and just noticed it) - what is a 'tracking cookie'? If you answer, could you please do so as if you were talking to a very old person or a very young child....
I have new neighbours who have a young dog (well it looks young) - I think it's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier although I have only seen it once. It is constantly in the garden yelping and whining to be...
Need to bleed my radiators as they are cold at the top and the bathroom room rail is very gurgly. I have never done this so I have a few questions (sorry for sounding dim). - how do I know when I have...
When we were in France in the summer we bought some madelines (well, quite a lot actually) and we all really liked them. I think they must have been 'long-life' as they were in a packet made out of...
