Re: not easy here

Sorry for that things aren't improving for you and that you lost your baby. I had a miscarriage last year - it wasn't nice but it helped to keep reminding myself that there was probably something...

Re: Easter plans?

Oink - your plans sound brilliant - won't she compromise, at least on the lamb?

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............

No way. With my ex, I forgave one affair after another, even though I was desperately unhappy in the marriage. Eventually, I'd had enough and I threw him out. Looking back, I wasted a lot of years...

Re: not easy here

Hi - Sorry things are tough. Working nights must make it doubly hard with young children. But the good thing is, you know what you don't like, so you can change it.

Are there ways you can get...

Re: Feeling really down....

Hi Strawberry - Sorry you're feeling down. This immigration lark is stressful isn't it. I can't give much advice on valuing your business for your visa - as I haven't looked into business...

Re: Is there any way??

I would take the risk if she really wants to go - I doubt they would know about her conviction. My friend's husband went to the US after being convicted of digging up a small tree and stealing it...

Re: Question re the ? and the !

I am lost - are you wanting folk to leave a space after a comma, or before? And why do you use exclamation marks? They're so bloody annoying.

Re: Uk economy...is it better?

Hi, I don't know if your particular industry had been affected much. I am in the north and I know a lot of people who have been laid off. My OH hasn't been able to get another job since July - this...

Re: Coordinating the big move!

That's a really good point Stef. I will have to keep my husband out of the way, as he doesn't think before he speaks.

I wish we'd sold last year. Recent sales in the area affect the value and...

Re: Something I'm proud of - please have a look!

I loved that - it's a brilliant ad. Mind you, you might have more luck with it after Gordon's voted out. The Labour governnment love blood and guts ads.

Re: The good old days......

I'm jealous. My brother had one of those bikes with the big handle bars - was it a chopper or a grifter? I had one of those big heavy fold up Hercules bikes, so I could bike to my Grandma's and she...

Re: Social networks...

That's probably why Twitter addicts are called Twits.

Re: Social networks...

I think for the majority of users, there is no point at all Mandy. Probably a small minority get any real benefit from it. I don't use it often but I know some folk who have it switched on all day.
