I am back......after 3 weeks of no broadband or landline and it was awful.I was so busy doing things the old fashioned way it was awful.Everything took longer.I had to go to the library to use the internet 3 times for urgent stuff and I even wrote to cancel something as the phone number was 0844 so ...

Hi All,I am a bit of a technophobe and really want to set up a website to sell my crafts which I already sell at fayres.I often get asked do you have a website? so feel I should set one up and get new business cards so when people take one they might actually shop online and buy stuff at a later dat...

Always imunize.to protect your children.I always left a gap between jabs,some are given together and I felt it was overloading their little bodies,but to opt out was never an issue.my youngest had measles at 18 months and was so ill,but had she not had the mmr at 13 months would have been seriously ...

Well we are nearly there,nearly to November with hubby's wages untouched,I am feeling quite smug.the freezer is very low,the tin cupboard is nearly empty and our cockeral is going in the pot today but we have worked hard to get there.a trip to the scrappy got us £55 and eBay sales last week got us £...
