I have an 07 plate Mercedes SLK. I love that bloody car. It's got 85k on the clock. The OH has just managed to sell it (not that I asked him to, so that is an issue between us) - he got £10k for...
Last weekend, when we put the clocks back, my girls (chickens - who go to bed at dusk) were going to bed at 5.15pm.
7 days later, they are tucked up at 4.35pm. What a difference a week makes!...
I was recently diagnosed with renal colic caused by kidney stones. I've been given some painkillers (mefemanic acid), which do help dull it but don't really kill the pain. I had a particularly vicious...
Just had to share this since I am still crying with laughter. We had my step son at the weekend. He has significant learning disorder. To help him communicate we have a white board in the kitchen...
And another week grinds to a close - we are in the home straight now. Any nice plans for the weekend? Or not so nice ones? Will you be cheering for the All Blacks or the French or will it pass you by?...
I just finished a phone call which had made me really mad. I stood in the garden and used some errrrr "industrial" language. A few minutes later my mobile rang and it was the person I had...
I've come up with two ideas for the OH's birthday next month (if he lives that long!) but am being jolly indecisive! What do you guys think:- Option A - I take him away to a lovely hotel eg...
The freeview TV upstairs used to get loads of channels (like Dave, Yesterday and Sky 3). On Saturday it refused to get a signal. Anyway, I managed to sort it out last night by retuning it. I've lost...
Anyone know what the going rate is to lay a wood floor in east of england area?! I'm going to call round for some quotes, but I reckon it's got to be worth paying to have someone in. All materials...
My OH has gone into a DIY frenzy. Admittedly he made a jolly good job of the job he did at the weekend (although not quite finished). He is half way through the next job which involves power tools and...
Some people have a bucket list. I have a "i promise I won't kill them today, but I can't promise I won't do it tomorrow" list, . Top of that list is my OH. Second on the list are my...
I want to make some breakfast muffins - you know the ones that can cut in half and toast to make Eggs benedict etc, not those blinking stodgy cake things. Everytime I do a search for...
I bought some pork fillet with the idea of making my normal stroganoff type dish but decided I fancy something different. Anyone got any nice pork fillet recipes? I've got a fairly well stocked store...
I've never made this before, does anyone have a recipe they swear by? There are loads on internet - some with egg whites and some without, what do you all think?
I watched all but the last half hour of this film last night when I nodded off. Got to the bit where the pharmo head honcho took him to see the lime pit with 62 bodies. Can anyone tell me what...
Not a question just a screaming rant. Last week a fault developed with the car. It was in the garage anyway for the shocks to be replaced and some other mechanical stuff which was due to happen today....
