Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11252) • United Kingdom 13 Nov

So, before I go any further , let’s get this straight. I don’t mean books about Ladybirds, as in the little creatures. I mean books published by the company called Ladybird. Right, now that’s cleared up, let’s get on with things...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11252) • United Kingdom 10 Sep

My Mom does like to watch a programme called ‘ Bargain Hunt ‘. This is where teams go to an antique fair and buy items which then go to auction. Any money that is made the team gets to keep. I have to say that most times they lose...

Would You Ever Pay That?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 10 Jul

Classic cars are a lot of fun to look at, and there's a place close to us next to Menard's that operates like both a dealership of classic cars as well as a museum. Every once in a while, it's fun to walk through and see what's...

DINNERLADY @lazydaizee (6732) • United Kingdom 17 Oct 23

I had been a fan of Bargain Hunt since it first began, but a couple of years ago I became very bored with it because they were always showing repeats of the show. I can cope with seeing a first repeat , but they seemed to be...

We've arrived at our house-sit

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jan 23

We’ve arrived at our house-sit and are partly settled. We knew the owner wouldn’t be here but she never locks the house so it was easy to get in. We’ve connected to the internet and found the air-conditioning switches so it’s all...
