I moved house two days ago. I booked an aerial and satellite engineer to come out to the property to fit a satellite dish for my Humax freesat box. Cutting a long story short, it turns out the house...
In the winter months, what do you do with your parasol bases? I have a cast iron one and I just leave it outside all year round. This obviously causes it to be a bit grubby - surface rust and dirt...
My GP prescribed me Betnovate lotion to help combat an itchy scalp. I've to use it at night time. I also got Tetralysal anti biotics - I have folliculitis. Has anyone used Betnovate lotion before? I...
For months now I've suffered from a sore, itchy scalp. It feels like someone has been pulling my hair. I've got shoulder length hair and if I tie it back it just seems to exacerbate the problem. I...
So I have a friend who broke up with her boyfriend 3 and a half years ago. She ended it - they're both in their 40's and didn't live together. In time she did come to regret it but stood by her...
I've just bought a shiny new laptop and I'm going to sell my old pc on. I'll obviously need to clean all my stuff off it before I do this. My question is, what's the best way to do this? Ps I'm not...
I don't have many pots and use my largest (stainless steel I think) to poach eggs. The pot now has egg white stuck fast to the bottom of it which I can't get off. I've tried leaving hot soapy water in...
I've just bought my first laptop as my pc is ready to give up the ghost. Should I buy a heat absorbing mat to sit it on? I know they can get quite warm underneath and I'm not sure if it would damage...
The past few days I've been having trouble accessing my hotmail email address 'mail'. When I click on a new email to open it, it seems to take ages to load. In the interim there are 5 small white...
Complete novice gardener here! I've just bought Evergreen Complete 4 in 1 for my garden at the front of my house - it's probably around 16 square metres in size. I don't have a spreader to apply the...
My daughter has just bought a second hand Bosch Fridge freezer. The light isn't working so I removed the bulb and I'm looking for a replacement. As far as I can see the bulb has written on it Wello...
I heard a piece of music by Michael Nyman in a Michael Winterbottom film I watched recently - 'Everday' - in which John Simm and Shirley Henderson starrred. The tune, played throughout, and...
I've recently bought an older car - it's a Fiat Seicento. On the V5C the registration date is 31/01/2002 but the registration plate is a 51...shouldn't it be a 52 plate? I'm confused.
I struggle to find long cotton tops to wear underneath shorter tops to cover my bum when I wear leggings. I'm sure I read somewhere that you can purchase cotton bum bandeau's specifically to wear over...
I adopted a 9 year old cat from Cat's Protection in March. He's all white coloured. He's been shedding a lot of hair which I assume is due to higher temperatures in the summer months. Today I brushed...
I'm adopting a nine year old cat from Cat's Protection on Tuesday and I'm in the process of getting in all the stuff I'll need. Staff have told me he has Purina dry food daily and, being a new pet...
I'm adopting a cat today. It's only around a year old and she's a lovely timid wee thing. My sister stayed next to her previous owner a few months ago before moving away and said the cat spent most of...
My Mum has COPD (emphysema) and recently has been experiencing pain in her back. She's also coughed up blood a couple of times. She went to her GP who sent her for a lung x-ray as you'd expect. The GP...
I recently moved into a house where it appears the former occupants liked to put holes in internal doors. I've measured the doors with the intention of hopefully replacing them but none of the major...
