Uplifting contact from my past
Oh goodness, I wrote masses in the middle of the night and revealed rather more of myself than I am happy with now. In a nutshell, our family have had rather hard times for the last few years and I have been ccontacted by someone I was a 'second mum' to in her childhood. Despite not having had contact for 20 odd years this…

'My other half'
Has to be the most toe-curling way to describe one's lover/partner/spouse. 'I'm just going down the road to collect my other half' 'My other half loves going for long walks' You are not half a person ! It's all over the boards ! Arggggggggghhhhhhh ! Make it stop already!

Am I MSE or Mean?
If you gave a Christmas gift (or will be soon) that cost a lot of money net price but was free to you, is this mean? My husband and I rarely disagree but he thinks I am spending too much time on here (I am trying to be mortgage free) and have been mean by giving a gift worth a lot of money, yet free to us to a family…

You don't give to receive but...
As a family we don't go mad when buying presents for each other, £10-£15 each and a little bit of thought into the present in order to make it a nice Christmas. Every year we get something nice for my husbands brothers and their partners. This year for example we got them a set from Joules and from the Body Shop (and got…

Do you 'air' your house?
I often read the house buying/selling/renting board where people have complained about damp, mould and condensation in their homes. In pretty much every post I've read about somebody says that it's due to not airing the house and that windows/doors should be left open regularly, especially after using the shower and that…

Tricky situation - don't know what to do!
I don't normally go for this type of post but I'm unsure what to do and could do with objective views, please. My eldest daughter has a girlfriend she thinks the world of and I have no reason to believe the feeling isn't mutual. We get on great with her girlfriend but, sadly, her mother is struggling to accept her daughter…

Legal Advice - CID
Hi Don't know if this is the place to post this but, how can you arrange an appointment to speak with a Police Officer from CID? I've tried calling and I'm told by the control room I need to first speak to a uniformed officer, which I explained I wanted to speak directly with a officer in CID. Without obviously giving any…

Separation blues
I'm struggling a lot today, i've had to be strong for a while now to help the children and just keep a level of normality. Yesterday I had the children and my parents and I visited my brother and his family. I didn't want to spoil the day and tried to keep a front up as best I could. Today the children are spending it with…

Son in law assaulted in next sale :(
So angry! My son in law works for next and had customers ripping hangers from his arms as he left the stock room, he is covered in bruises from being pushed and trampled on. Not to mention being spat at sworn at and ordered about. How can people be so savage just to get a bargain, that no doubt they don't need and will end…

Fantasy Swap Shop :o)
I have a bunch of assorted chocolates and wine, given to me by very nice people, but there's a limit as to how much even I can eat! I've given some away, but still some remain. The chocolates range from a small box of Quality Street to some circa £10 Thorntons and M&S boxes, through to a 1kg M&S Chocolate Christmas tree.…

Struggling a bit over Christmas
I'm really lucky and have spent the last few days with Family, been spoilt rotten by my them but I have also found it very hard. I had a gastric bypass in November and am still on pureed food, being surrounded by all the christmas food and dinners has been quite depressing. Especially when I can't eat most of it for the…

Just confirmed my family have planned my life for me
I'm not that surprised somehow, as I had had my suspicions for a long time. Anyway, I have a brother (married/with adult children/living elsewhere in country) and I live nearby to my elderly/ill parents. My brother was not very happy at all to be told by me that I will be moving to elsewhere in the country myself soon and…

Neighbours barking dog left in house by itself
We live next door to a private rented property. It appears that the family that was living there has moved out, and are keeping their dog there by its self. :( (although it could be someone else, like the land lord, I guess) The dog spends a large proportion of the day barking, whining and scratching at the door and sounds…

Parents just don't get our choices
my family always had been disfunctional but somehow my partner is with me in spite of this! We've been together for the best part of 5 years, living together for 3. Have joint bank accounts, have had pets, a business and been through all kinds of crap. My parents as far as I was aware were always fairly supportive of us,…
