When I was growing up, we had these funny fireplaces in council built properties, they were cast iron, with a small very efficient firebasket on one side and two little bread ovens on the other, in the winter all our clothes and laundry were dried and aired on that, OR on a clothes horse round...

I got the Lakeland three tier airer off ebay, during a Lakeland ebay shop saie, I do wish it had a timer, as I have dyspraxia and I tend to set it and forget it!! If it ever breaks down, I will definitely get the upgraded one, and I will look out for it on ebay again.

My parents were very high profile in my very small home town, it was tough enough being a kid in a small town, but I couldn't sneeze in one end of our high street (we lived at the other end), but my Gran would have the Beechams out by the time I got home, to be that high profile nationally would...

I didn't like that it contains talc, found it drying recently and even the lightest a bit "orange" on my very fair (with a slightly warm undertone) skin, so I've gone over to IT CC cream, bought in Boots and Nude by Nature powder (also from boots) to set it and I love it more than LG, people...

I have only worn a cold shoulder top once, on stage at school, when I was representing an American tourist in the gaudiest dress i could find as a costume!!! I don't like them and never have, pointless!

Actually, I also think M&S have a few in their range, I want the opposite, cotton, like an oversized T-Shirt!, https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-embroidered-nightdress/p/p60212080?image=SD_02_T37_6639N_A1_X_EC_90&color=LIGHTPINK&prevPage=plp

OOh how I wish I could keep to the one in one out promise I made to myself!!!!

I am a bit of a mongrel myself, I had thought of myself as "mixed European" prior to the referendum. I've had people openly tell me that I have nowhere that I "belong" or on the other hand "well, your family don't count as immigrants, they worked", or my Mother was told that, once I was 16, she...

I went into our local Clarks on the DH, saw a bag I really liked, but wanted a different colour, it was black, boring, went on their website and it was in a taupe/cream and bonus it was cheaper and THEN there was a bonus code for an extra 10% MORE10 I think, so I've only got to wait until...

I gave my dishwasher a clean yesterday and I followed up with a fresh dishwasher load, I have learned recently (don't ask how long I've had a dw) that my table top dw is supposed to take six place settings, but it doesn't work efficiently when full to capacity, it works better with three as I...

I love trench coats, I had one years ago from M&S, my parents sent me the money, it was a size 12 (which I very much am not, it was a generous cut), I replaced it with one from there again, it was the warm one with the hood, with a fleece underneath it served me nearly every day last winter...

In some ways, being (ahem) generously proportioned is a blessing, for me it means that you only have a small range of retailers to shop in, I admit for basics and surprise bargains (some of which I've bought in their sale), M&S still comes out on top. Debenhams is (if they still manage to have...

I am so sorry for your loss, I have a cousin and she is my sister in all but parents, I can only imagine the sorrow you must be feeling. My heart goes out to you and your family.x

Me too! Eyes suddenly full of "pollen"!

I hate it when people behave badly for no apparent reason.

I was just watching IW and there are what I am sure look like Bundlebury "trunks" as set dressing!!! Imitation sincerest form of flattery ...

I have got to the stage where if I see her, I turn over, end of story.

Well done you! Without my people from the charity that helped me get rid of a lot of stuff, I am struggling to maintain the momentum, and although things haven't really crept back yet, I realised I miss a radio in the kitchen (the old one didn't really fit anywhere, so I donated it to the break...

I am not a gardener at all, but I do love.cats. I was quite unwell with a chest infection so I was watching quite a lot of Q and I found myself croaking "tell people lilies are poisonous to cats"!!!! So, thank you for making the effort to raise awareness of this.

Glad you were able to keep her friendship in spite of him!
