Name this crime drama (with spoiler)!
We've become obsessed recently with watching foreign drama - The Bridge, The Killing, The Returned - and I've remembered a crime drama in my vague memory seems a similar sort of thing and I'd like to watch again but I have no idea what it was. All I remember was at the end of the series (the police?) they all rush off to a…

As an adult how much do you/should you tell your parents?
My OH has recently been admitted to hospital with mental health problems. He has suffered from depression and anxiety for a number of years and things have just got worse. Neither his nor my family know about his depression. There doesn't seem any reason why they should - they can't help, they would worry and he doesn't…

Looking to redo our kitchen, add a utility and an extra room at back of house. Hubby keen to go very open plan (apart from utility) so basically downstairs would be all open plan apart from hallway, wc and utility.

Nervous breakdown.
Well, the saga continues.... I'm at my desk at work and literally holding back bursting into tears. I'm literally on the edge of a nervous breakdown. As many of you might remember, my OH suffers from depression, but which I have begun to be a bit skeptical of as he only raises the issue when he essentially gets an earful…
