Laura Ashley
My sister-in-law bought us a Chandelier from Laura Ashley for Christmas. I finally got round to looking at fitting it a couple of days ago only to find my electrical system doesn't match the meagre instructions that came with it. I admit I'm a bit crap at DIY but I couldn't make head or tail of what to do, as there were…

I noticed when returning to work after Christmas there was a small pothole near the LH verge, not too big, could be avoided if there was no oncoming traffic, but if there WAS oncoming traffic there was no room to avoid it. Meant to phone the…

I just need to vent because Im tired and very grumpy thanks to Eon again. I live in a quiet street that ends in a cul de sac.

Wagamamas seem to have put nuts in my food...

Since my husband didn't get sick, I'm sure it wasn't a virus, and I prepared all the other…
