Lovely Freecycle Stories
In the spirit of positivity on this board, I hope you don't mind me posting my recent Freecycle experience. I offered a three seater sofa. It was taking up loads of room upstairs but I was very reluctant to throw it away as it had been my Grandma's sofa and was a constant feature in lots of my memories. It was old but very…

Any good April Fools ideas to play on the family?
My Mum would always play a little trick on us every year, nothing particularly memorable but it was always funny because it was "Her" doing it. I can't really think of anything to do tomorrow. My children are not young, a teen and a pre-teen, both with a mischievous side. Does anyone have a well used Fool that doesn't…

Arguing over money!

After university, we moved back home to live with our parents (near London), then he was offered a job with a large company in Bristol (where he went to uni). So, for the last 3 years we have had a LDR and had to deal with it's…

I'm not going to bother with all that new username gumpf. I've posted on here before and this is not a wind up. / disclaimer So, question is what it is. I am a little worried.

Visiting Graves
Do you visit the graves of your loved ones? If so how often & why? I don't visit my mum's as I believe she isn't there. Do not stand at my grave & weep etc... People try to guilt trip me for not going & I think that is unfair as I don't force my views on them.

Think my relationship is over 6 months before my wedding
Logged in as another user for this thread. It's supposed to be the most exciting and perfect day for any woman but I am dreading my wedding day.

Ex can't be bothered to divorce me
My husband left me suddenly in July last year. I still have yet to get any paperwork from him about the divorce, even though he has said he has hired a solicitor and signed documents on his end. Everytime I chase him about it (To be fair only a couple of times) he says 'it's with the solicitor, it's out of my hands'. I've…
