emmaoxley Thank you - Your advice was very helpful. I love the Harry Potter series and my hubby reads the Dresden books so I may have to read a few of those. Thanks again.

emmaoxley I agree, you just have to watch today news to see how most fights end up these days. I totally respect a person who walks away. Alcohol does escalate things and my friend seemed like a different person to me last night when drunk and I will be having words...

emmaoxley Thank you. Yeah, his friend tried to say exactly the same as you and gave me a lecture about how I should have let my other friend go for this guy and I got some tale about how I should have let him be a hunter and protect his reputation, lol. Love drunken...

When he was in The Police or better in his sole act? I would have to say BOTH. There is really not a single song of Sting's I do not like. I think it is his voice that mesmerizing me and he writes with such passion and I...

emmaoxley LOL will have to try some of that ice cream then!!! I would join a club but as I work different shifts I could end up missing a few meetings. Think I may do this anyway and just swop shifts on meeting nights. We have a club just 5 minutes down the road from...

emmaoxley I didn't realise you could mix and match - thought it had to be either red or green day. That could make things easier. Do you go along to a local slimming club?

emmaoxley I love food too - I'm especially partial to pasta and potatoes. My mother in law gave me the food optimising book, directory and the branded foods book. I look at them occasionally. The mixed stew sounds nice - is this just vegetables? I did the chicken hot...

Hi guys - I have noticed recently that whenever I post anything there is an ebay advert underneath the post. Please can someone tell me how to get rid of this?

emmaoxley Thanks for the response. I have sold a few items on ebay myself and find there is a big market for mobile phones, games consoles and games and other electrical items. Also shoes and trainers seem to do well.

emmaoxley I asked my husband who is 28 about this post to get a male point of view and he said that he thinks it is wrong what your husband is doing this to you. Unfortunately men can often be selfish emotionally and don't feel/see things the way females do. Really hope...
