More hours in the day?
Me and my friends were trying to arrange some time to get together and the chat got round to how we are all just sooo busy. However one of them said she didn't have time to do anything because she had to go to her mums everyday to do her washing and housework and then go home and do her own in the afternoon and cook her…

My wish today to my Magical Fairy Godmother is
... to tell the chocolate makers to stop producing round tins. I appreciate that it makes the amount of chocolate being offered look like more, and they make excellent cake tins. However, we've had years and years and years of these tins, and I'm sure that most people now have enough cake tins. I would like the tins to be…

Moving house - MIL being a nightmare.
My wife and I moved to the same village as my inlaws almost 10 years ago. Mainly because my wife didn't want to move far from her parents at the time, and in fairness it made financial sense as the property prices were very affordable for us. Some background before I go much further might be required to make this…

Treehouse staring into our living room
Hey I'm back with yet another moan about the local kids. I feel like such a Victor Meldrew these days :o Having sorted the issue with them coming into our back garden to play (another firmer word with the kids did the trick), all was peace and happiness. But new neighbours have moved in to the house that has the garden…

Hi all, So this isn't a new break up we broke up in 2006 and i'll be honest at first I was a bit annoyed at this girl as she kept trying to win my boyfriend around at the time with "Presents" etc. I decided to dump him in a nice way as I was sick of all the lies etc. The whole time in our relationship he'd been speaking to…
