Left eye was a bit gummy this morning, but has been alright. However, about an hour ago I noticed it was bright pink and swollen and starting to close up. If I touch the bottom of the eye it feels...
Just had a problem with our phone line. Internet went down and line was doing loud screeching noise when I picked up the handset. Thus I tried calling it from my mobile and some woman 3 miles away...
I got a chilli seed wedged under my thumb nail earlier. Quickly removed it, but now my thumb feels like it is on fire. Apart from chopping my own digit off, can anyone suggest anything I can do to...
Not entirely sure where to post this so here goes. My elderly grandparents (86 and 85) have lived in their property for 20 years. Their electricity is on two different rates - a day rate and a night...
Our old boy is about 18. He's in really fine fettle - his fur is in lovely condition, he eats, drinks and toilets appropriately, he cuddles, he is active, he plays and in all respects seems well....
Grrrrr. Not a question, just a damn good rant. The FH left a glass of wine on the banister on the first floor. He then managed to knock it off. Red wine has now splattered over all the walls and my...
I just found last year's strawberry plants which I grew in a basket. The plants look quite healthy (considering they have been wallowing in a heap of rubbish in the garden). If I repot will I get...
I've got some garlic bulbs which are to be sown in spring. They are sprouting already. I haven't got anywhere to put them outside (yet) but I do have a polytunnel which is heated. Will they be OK in...

I just nipped to the shop on my way home and was just putting the shopping in the boot when a woman came and parked next to me. Despite there being acres of space on her other side, she parked so...
Someone obviously called here while I was out. Now I can't use the landline. If I try for a dialling tone, all I get is silence. I tried calling the landline from my mobile and I got an engaged tone....
That was a question recently posted and caught my eye and I immediately thought "No, and neither do my stepchildren". Do you still write thank you letters for gifts received? This was...
I have been using L'Oreal Recital Preference 6.35 Havana for my hair but just can't seem to get it anymore. My roots look terrible - can anyone say which other colourant matches that colour? I am...
I have a "big" birthday very soon. I happen to know that arrangements are afoot for a "surprise" party. Trouble is, I really don't want any fuss or any money spent or people to go...
I've got two raised beds coming soon. They measure 6ft x 3ft x 8 inches. Reckon I am going to have to order 25kg bags because a) we don't actually have a wheelbarrow b) barrow access is in any event...
I have encouraged my step son to be more engaged with his food. This includes doing "Pizza factory" on a Saturday night where we make the dough together, the tomato sauce and then roll it...
Cooking creamy chicken pie with which I was going to serve some boiled new spuds. Horror of horrors we are out. Anyone got any nice suggestions other than the dreaded mash?
Ta peeps....
I had a recurring dream last night of buying a sodastream. Which I thought was weird in the extreme. Although I may now buy one (they've come on a lot you know) but only if I can get cherryade. The FH...
I'm having a real senior moment here - I think my brain has atrophed through lack of use over Christmas. Either that or it's pickled. Someone was meant to receive 70% of something. In the event, they...
Horror of horrors, our xbox is displaying an E74 error. I understand it has to go away for repair.
Does anyone have any idea how much this is likely to cost?...
