What is the quote......
I know this is not money saving but I have searched Google for this and not had much luck. What is the quote that is about people that preach about not doing something and hate people doing it, yet they are the ones that do it themselves? Can anyone help please.:)

Am I being too precious about this?
I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in so bear with me. This morning I received an eBay item. Pleased with it, no problem there. However, some of the inner packaging was part of a used Domino's pizza box - complete with small grease stain. I found this a bit icky to be honest and am tempted to leave…

Its something that has baffled me for years as I seem to be the…

I'm a long time lurker, but the events of Saturday mean that I've finally taken the decision to come out of the shadows. In brief, my husband and I mutually agreed to separate.

Pogo stick for a child with no balance
I wonder if you can help. Is there a beginners version of a Pogo stick? My DD really wants one, and thinking of getting her one for Christmas but she is very unbalanced so I am wondering if there is a junior version so she can have the fun while getting to grips with it before moving on to the real thing! Thanks

Working Mums?
I'm currently on maternity leave and trying to decide what I'd like to do upon my return to work. Before baby I worked 35 hours a week over 5 days. I'd love to go back just 3 days, but can't see it being accepted and I think they'd question my commitment etc. So half of me thinks I should just go for a happy medium, slap…
