I agree, citizens advice is probably the best way to go although they have been increasingly difficult to get hold of when you need them in recent years. I can completely empathise with you Mrs F, letting agents are, in my experience, never available when you need them. (and that is the most polite ...

Hellllooooo!! Some of you may remember me from a looong time ago. I've been thinking of ishers more and more lately and thought I'd renew my acquantance! I am now married and living in a rented flat in Edinburgh and currently work for the National Trust For Scotland (great organisation, not so great...

I like the idea of lush but when you look at the ingredients they're as full of chemicals as any other main stream brand. The only difference seems to be that they have some natural ingredients as well. Thats not quite true, where possible they will use no synthetics at all and where necessary they...

I worked in a lush for about 4 years and loved it. Everything I owned smelt like lush so I dare say I wouldn't have been very popular with some of you! :lol: I can't say if this is the case now as the product range has changed hugely since I last worked there but in my time there the only synthetic ...

Well things have been up and down for us as usual! Just when we think everythings going well we have a crisis or 3. the latest is that i had a motorbike accident last week, wrote off my bike and damaged my hand. luckily my mum has stepped up and is loaning me the money for a new bike as its my only ...

Hi folks, Haven't been on the site for a while (except the odd lurk now and again!) so thought I'd say a quick 'hello' to all the folks that have joined while I've been absent :wave: . And of course a 'missed you' to everyone else! :grouphug: I've recently started shift work again so I'll be on here...

I'll definitely be trying some of those! We have a stream running right by our house and get loads of flies in the summer. And GIANT mossies ( I mean really huge!) will those remedies work on mossies too?

I need to post an updated one (two months of glandular fever = losing a stone and a half, and I've had a major haircut and I suddenly need glasses!)

will get OH to take on this weekend!

Hmmmm may well be interested Ann, will have a discussion with Hubby. It will also depend on getting time off work and as i haven't started the job I'll be doing at that time yet it may be a month or so before I can be definite. It weird I was just thinking last night that I need to get back to Scotl...

I'll definitely be giving that a go!

welcome from another somerseter!

Well done!

Hats off to you!

Cool! Would love to do smoking. Was it difficult?

OK, sorry to cause offense. You asked for help, advice, and I gave what I thought was advice. I think that what you said was more 'opinion' rather than 'advice' and it was unsurprising that Rosey and Chrissy reacted to it in that fashion. I'd be surprised if anyone read your post and didn't feel th...

Hmmmm that lemon curd does indeed look delish! Was thinking, would it work ok just using the lemon juice and not the rind? Could I use the rind for a lovely limoncello and the juice for fabby lemon curd? :iconbiggrin: Let me know what you think ladies! Would make great christmas pressies! :mrgreen:
