Oh, gosh, it's true enough, and it's been doing the rounds for ages. Back in the late eighties, my first husband caught a man prowling around in the bushes at the back of our flat. He was about to thump the 'prowler', when he realised that the poor guy was already in a pretty bad state. It...

How lovely to see you back and posting again! You sound so positive and I'm glad to know you're feeling better now.

They treat you and your cat like a hotel. Fleas don't live on the host animal, they hop on for a meal then jump off again. Sneaky, huh? Even so, rather than a Furminator, you might like to try a flea comb, which has teeth which are only a millimetre or so apart. They trap any adult fleas, so...

The BBC website had an explanation about how they do this:- The scammer says he's ringing from, say, your bank, and asks you to ring your bank and ask for him by name to check him out. So, you put the phone down, and call your bank. What happens is - surprise - you get through straight away, so...

If you don't want to wage chemical warfare [don't blame you] have you tried combing Sidney? You can buy flea combs from chemists or pet shops. Stand Sid on a sheet of newspaper or mat made of kitchen towel, and keep a bowl of water with a squirt of washing up liquid nearby. [The washing up...

This year has been a flippin' nightmare for all of us who are prone to being stung or bitten - the mild, wet weather has seen the number of nasty insects rocket. I'm a Mozzie-Magnet and I have to avoid the garden at dusk or risk becoming a walking meal. Anyway, can I pass on two pieces of...

Oooh, exciting! It looks like the base of some kind of water container to me, but heck, I'm no expert. Our next door neighbours started digging for a pond a couple of years ago, and came across a complete and very solid underground shelter from WWII, with all sorts of weird and wonderful things...

Oh wow! Another request for pictures, please!

Keeping everything crossed for Louis. Please let us know how he gets on, Janie. I'm really hoping he's turned the corner and he'll be back home with you very soon.

Lisa was wonderful - I fully expect to see her snatch the lead role in Hairspray. I can't take my eyes off Bruno's new face - aargh! I liked Darcey, she's far and away more intelligent than her dreadful predecessor and she can string a few words together without making me want to throw things...

Oooo ... when I spotted Marie Claire in my local shop today none of the small size had the freebies, and I must admit I thought it was a bit odd. They looked fully sealed, though, so maybe it was a glitch in their system. Well, either that or they think Cardiffians already have fabulous...

Just wanted to add that you'll need to buy the larger size mag - the travel size smaller copies don't have the freebies with it. [Why not, Marie Claire?!] I got the Shea Butter hand cream, but there are three or four flavours to try.

Love the pics! Our garden squirrel was burying his stash of nicked peanuts this morning. He's so fat and overfed he was waddling.

Just wondered how you enjoyed 42nd St, Mam? It's in Southampton next week, if anyone wants to catch it there. Be warned - you'll be singing the songs for weeks afterwards!

That's really interesting, and a positive and refreshing take on an age-old problem. Thanks, Mediastar.

Yay, good for you! My mum and sister went for some kind of makeover session, and they said they picked up loads of skincare/make up tips, so it was well worth it. And please, BM, can I send you in to kick ass against Hong Kong eBay seller szdepot88, who's just ripped me off? :headbang: Ta...

You'll love it, Mam. It's a mostly young and very talented cast and some fresh and exciting choreography. Marti Webb, as Dorothy Brock, is wonderful, as ever. The plot is as paper-thin and daft as it comes, of course, but somehow you can forget that when the rest is good. Everyone left the...

I can't find the original thread about the stage version of Birds of a Feather to update it, so here goes with another. Anyway, you might remember that a year or so ago a couple of us said they'd seen the show and how Pass-the-Tena-Lady hysterical it was. Well, it's back! :happy: In case...

Hey - whoa!!! Madmax is one of the good guys, a home breeder who puts her dogs' welfare at the heart of everything she does. She takes extreme care with her dogs, carefully choosing stud dogs to suit, matching them for breed and temperament, starting the pups out on a long and healthy life...

I saw those too, they don't half tug at your heartstrings with the awful statistics, don't they? Meanwhile, I think Martha's simply adorable! Can I be cheeky :hi: and ask if you might have plans for more litters of puppies after all, MadMax?
