    Strictly is nearly here!

    I predict Frankie from the Saturdays to win as she showed real musicality. I have already chalked up my no hopers and as much as I like him, I couldn't help but think Steve would be happier dancing with a crocodile.

    Mother and Daughter "Event"

    This year will be my first without my Mum, I think of her everyday. QVC, crafting outlets and so on are geared up to sell as much stuff to the public as they think we can handle but its how WE perceive our mother's and we do not need a guide to tell us how much to spend on her. With my own...

    Lost my Mum after a three year fight

    As some you maybe aware my Mum had a stroke in May 2011 and left the south coast to live in Leeds, where I could see that she was alright living in a nursing home close by needing 24/7 care. She has been in and out of hospital since living in Leeds, for a variety of reasons, including...

    Do we all have someone like this in our lives?

    I think she behaves like this because she hasn't got anything major wrong in her life to deal with, therefore she has no empathy for anybody else. I encountered some real prats on my recent cruise, well put it this way I was thinking keel hauling would be too good for them, they were that...

    What do you do with unused charity bags?

    I bin them purely because I don't believe half of them are genuine. If I want to donate goods to charity I take them to the shops myself, thereby ensuring the charity benefits.

    Any Caribbean Cruisers around with advice or tips for a first timer?

    Hope you have a fabulous trip. Don't want to be a killjoy but are you certain the ship can put in at the quayside in each port or will there be any tender transfers. I am doing another cruise this year and its a fabulous experience. If you have not cruised before I suggest you pack some...

    My mum

    Sorry to hear of your loss. My Dad died when I was 12 but now I have fond memories not the sadness I would imagine you are feeling.

    Statins.

    I was diagnosed with MS about 2.5 years ago and the hospital decided my blood was as my GP called it a bit rich at 4.6 and put me on Simvastatin. All was well for about a fortnight and then I started throwing up after every meal, went back to my GP who stopped the Simvastatin straight away. I...

    Strictly 2012 The Final 22nd December

    I have had a look at the P&O site and am wondering what the prices will be as you have to ring up to get the prices. Tess Daly's clothes have been mostly awful for the entire series, does she dress herself or get an allowance? Last night's dress for the competition looked like a roll of gift...

    Strictly 2012 The Final 22nd December

    Did not rate the winners at all but then, I can't bear Flavia. Too much reliance on gymnastic moves for my taste when I thought Strictly was supposed to be a dancing competition.

    Strictly 2012 15th December Semi Finals

    Either that or it could be that the public think she is safe and choose to vote for other people, consequently she finishes in the bottom two. I don't mind who wins next week provided its not Flavia, I heartily dislike her but could not tell you why.

    Strictly 2012 15th December Semi Finals

    Lets hope Lisa is in the dance off, she is an awful dancer, boundless energy and enthuaism is not enough, my cat could dance better!! Whoever is with her the judges should save. What is worrying is the great British public vote and two worthy finalists end up going head to head for a place.

    Surprise unwelcome encounter on cruise

    Mam you will get horrid people from all walks of life and you will learn to give them a wide berth and not let them spoil your holiday. What a thoughtful present and I am sure you will enjoy the experience. Without wishing to pry with your difficulties, I would suggest that you don't drink the...

    Surprise unwelcome encounter on cruise

    I was only on a small ship but gave the Warrington brag a wide berth. There was another passenger that made a bitchy remark about my disability being all in my mind (I did not refer to it at all, as I thought the stick was a sufficient give away) I snapped and said to this woman "you should try...

    Surprise unwelcome encounter on cruise

    I came back yesterday from a fantastic cruise (I would definitely do it again) but one of the other passengers was one of the hatchet faced crowd that lurk in Warrington. It had to have been her as she held forth loudly and at great length that she lived in Warrington, went to an outlet shop...

    Channel 4 programme Despatches - the lowdown on Cruises

    This programme was aired last night and the content of which shocked me. A reporter went undercover on one of the Celebrity Cruises ships as a waiter, was expected to work a 10 hour day for which he was paid and then go on training courses unpaid, seven days a week. He had to pay for his...

    Going Bare Legged

    I am going to a wedding in September and am usually found to be slopping round in trousers. I have just bought a no-no machine and will use it for a general de fuzz and moisture my neglected skin. I don't think my legs are up to going bare these days, hate tights and am thinking of trying hold...

    Kipling toiletry bag 'just £53' .......

    If I saw one at the QVC outlet shop, reasonably priced, I'd probably buy it. £53 seems rather steep for something you could buy on the high street, as having clear plastic viewing pockets is hardly an innovative idea. I have loads of Kipling bags and I recently bought yet another one from the...

    Jack Osbourne diagnosed with MS

    When I was first diagnosed with MS and realising that so many young people get the disease, it made me feel fortunate that I had reached my fifties before it manifested itself making it diagnosable (sorry of that is not a word). According to my scans and the age of the plaques, I could well...
