Buying at your front door
We moved into a new house in a better area than we had been in previously about 18 months ago. Since we've moved in we regularly get people trying to sell to us at our front door.

Where do you get your health advice from?

Sometimes people come out with some very odd theories about their health and it would be nice to know who to blame (joking!). I know its not strictly moneysaving but I guess if you consult a recognised…

What did you do with your kids before Uni?
My last thread got hijacked so I thought I'd try again. Thank you to anyone that responded to my last thread - I decided not to respond further to the psycobabble and start again in a different vein. I shouldn't have made my op so personal as I should have known that there would be 1 who would take it up as their mission.…

Proposal on a shoestring!

Ideally I wanted to…

My so called best friend
Firstly apologies for what is bound to be a long and rambling post. I'm not so much asking for advice as getting this off my chest. Basically I have a friend who I met when my eldest child (now 10) and her middle child (now 9) were babies. We met through an old school friend of mine whose eldest is the same age as mine.…
