Well I think we've reached the end of the line. We fitted a new flap - it took a couple of weeks for the bruiser next door to break it. We've replaced the hall carpet with lino because he had ruined...
Weather is miserable, boyfriend is miserable, cats are miserable - even the damn birds on the lake are miserable. So lets have some fun:- Each poster contributes only five words to the story. I'll...
Hello me again I've been helping the BF trace his ancestry. He is Scottish. I've hit a problem. One of his ancestors Andrew Reid (born 1839) married Jane Wilson. It's Jane I am having the problem...
The ex wife cowbag from hell has just completely ruined our weekend (by using the children as weapons and not treating them as children). So try and cheer me up, please. Otherwise I shall be stuck...
The BF is a little stressed right now. Consequently, he managed to upset both me and number 1 daughter tonight cos he is being a tetchy bugger. Anyway, I have been nagging him for days to sort our bed...
My printer is attached to the router by ethernet. My lappy talks to the router wirelessly and normally prints OK. Since I moved in here, I've noticed a problem. Our broadband slows up about every 2...
We have a couple of small shrubs in the pots at the front of the house. Both are about a foot in height with a single woody stem. Throughout the summer they were covered in small (about 1 1/2cm) azure...
Hello you guys, thought I would post this on here, because there is always someone who sees something I don't. I am helping a friend to try and find out what happened to his grannie. This is what I...
OK, so Jayne wants there to be a place called Frontbottom. Not sure there is, but what silly (real) place names do you know?
I'll start
Two Mile Bottom (just for Jayne)...
I just stood outside the house looking over the lake - which is frozen and covered in snow. I watched a woman on the other side walk her toddler up to the edge of the lake and then let him walk on...
OK, my dishwasher decided that Christmas Day was a really good time to pack up (the minute I had used the last pot in the house!). It fused the whole kitchen. I've managed to recreate the fault by...
My BF has saved his emails on a memory stick - he's saved them as .pst (which I think is the format specified by outlook). Now we are trying to read them, neither of us can since we only have Windows...
Not a question just a rant. BF has gone out. He said he feels that the walls are closing in on him (despite the fact that he went out yesterday and today, whereas I have left the house only to deliver...
Did my dishwasher decide that Christmas Day when I have used just about everything in the kitchen would be a great time to pack up?!! The heating is up the swannee too, so there is no hot water to...
Right, I am trying to consolidate two kitchens into one tonight while the BF goes on the lash with his mates. I have just found his late mother's tea set which is very badly tarnished. I'd like to...
Last night, my coollant warning light came on. Checked all the levels - all OK. Belt looks OK. But fan does appear to be making a funny noise. However there is another thing which is completely empty...
I was talking to my mother at the weekend - they have a new tv. She said that she was not letting either my sister or brother (who are staying temporarily) leave home until her and dad can work it. I...
I went back to my old house today and there was a card through the door. Assuming it was a Christmas card I ripped it open. It was only when I opened it I realised it wasn't for me. it was a birthday...
OK, I have NO experience of children. None, nada, zilch. I am probably the worst person in the world to be left in charge of a child. I know this. Anyway, the kids are here tonight. The boy has severe...
