sheilanewton I can empathise with how you feel. Writing - because it is a creative art - can be very frustrating. Sometimes you think your work is stunning, but when you put it out there as a submission, it is rejected. Sometimes, a piece that you think is only average is...

sheilanewton This is such a sad story but I agree with everyone who says you did the right thing. A few years ago, the cat who had been a regular caller to our house and my two cats, came back to call after a three year absence. He was in such bad shape, with boils and...

sheilanewton I think the itchy palm thing means that if your right palm itches, you'll receive money - but if it's the left, you're going to be giving money away. Ah ... you must have bills to pay! Sorry to disallusion you, but it's definitely right to receive! Poor you.

sheilanewton I think your friend has just got the jitters about starting a new job. Lots of us are scared to move on and forward. She just needs to keep getting that reassurance from you. Tell her she's worth more than a fish and chip shop that's going to close down...

sheilanewton Yeah - it happened to me too. I had £20 sitting in my Adsense account. Then they decided to ban be and keep my hard-earned £20. There must be something ILLEGAL about what they are doing. But they keep getting away with it. 'Howzat for free advertising' they...

If so where do you place it? And what kind of seed do you use usually? I have one outside our front living room window I thought that way the kids could bird watch. Seems all we ever watch are the Starlings raiding the feeder &...

sheilanewton My husband made a bird table and attached it to the trunk of our felled pine. It's a really simple design, with a little bird house on the top and two 'arms' to hang things on, like a seed feeder with perches and a net of nuts. On the top of the felled tree...

sheilanewton Certainly, small spaces are best suited to growing in pots and tubs. We have a very small are at the back of our house (mainly concreted) for growing vegetables. I've found through experiencing, that carrots, onions, broccoli and pumpkins don't take too kindly...

sheilanewton I love crime dramas. Love medical dramas too - particularly Grey's Anatomy. The crime drama I'm in to at the moment is Prime Suspect USA. I think it's brilliant.

sheilanewton Stress is difinitely one of the causes of grinding your teeth in your sleep. Go seek medical advice about how to stop. You're right - you're causing problems for your teeth doing this. Best of luck with the GP visit.

sheilanewton There's a breed of cats called Manx cats, that have no tail at all. It doesn't affect the way they keep their balance, or run or jump. not at all. I think your lovely cat will be just fine with her 1cm tail.
