Forms of I.D
Was in the supermarket early hours of the morning, and Dh had asked me to pick him up cigarettes when I was there - how mortified was I when I was asked for ID - and even more mortified when I didn't have any! Luckily it was quiet, I thought it was 16 to buy cigarettes, but apparently it's 18 and I was id'd because I…

Has a kind soul out there have a Sony Vario-Sonnar Camcorder Manual?
I'm trying to empty the house of the things left behind by my late husband, and to do that, I need some decent photos of the things. I'm trying to set the white balance on the camcorder-c?m-camera he left. (the question mark is a "u", but the word gets censored without the question mark!) Unfortunately, I can't locate the…

Can my year 11 DS drop a subject?
My DS is completely stressed at the moment - the school work/revision is being piled on in readiness for GCSE's next year. He is struggling big time in a language, and I simply cannot see any point in him wasting any more time studying this particular subject to the detriment of the others? He'll be lucky to come out with…

Anyone had a bone scan?
I have to go to hospital tomorrow for a bone scan which involves being injected with radioactive dye. I am absolutely terrified of needles and I really really don't want to go. Has anyone had any experience of a bone scan? What was it like?

Child being bullied
Hi, not sure if anyone can help, but I need to know how I can make a copy of an answerphone message so that I can store it as a recording on my computer. What I want to do, is post the recording on my daughter's facebook page and see if anyone recognises the voices on the message. My daughter is being bullied at school and…

condoms!!
Just had my usual after work/school chat with my ds and have discovered that he is sexually active (just turned 16). He's had some condoms lying around for a while, so I asked him to let me know when he runs out - turns out he already has!! So I'm popping out in a bit to replenish his stock. Just had a look on tesco…

Surnames
My oldest daughter is only 4, but she seems pretty adamant that she doesn't want her father's (my ex's) surname. She knows what her name is and that it is the same as daddy's, but she always says that she wants the same name as me. Now, of course, as time goes on, she might become more accepting of it, but is there a legal…

Should I ask my husband to pay money back?
When we first started going out over 8 years ago for various reasons my boyfriend (now husband) ended up owing me some money. Over the years this amount has gone up and down as we have each paid for different things and the figure now stands at about £700. We were quite specific that the money would always be paid back and…

Location, Wealth and Attractiveness
I added a comment to the Daily Mail and someone who disagreed with me said that because I am from Glasgow then I must be ugly. Well, their comment was definitely ruder than that but in a round about way, that's what they said. Without knowing anything about me, bar my first name and location they have judged me. By the…

Edible Gifts for Diabetics
My FIL is diabetic, but we're not supposed to know about it, so I can't really ask him so I thought I'd ask here. DD wants to make some gingerbread cookies for him and MIL for Christmas, she did want to make a gingerbread house but I think that would be too much. Can she ice the cookies? I thought fondant would probably be…

Part of the requirement of these lessons is that the person participating, has their own instrument. She started guitar lessons a while ago and seems to be coming along well and would now also like to…

I just want to b***h and be sarcastic to a retailer
I've just received an email. I've won a prize, which is nice. It's worth about 50p worth of points. Still, that's better than nothing, so so far so good. The points will be credited to my account with a major retailer by the end of the year. And this is the bit I have a problem with in the email, which advises me that "So…
