Hello, My son is about to finish his first year at primary school. He has attended about 20 birthday parties this school year. Although I always vowed to keep his parties small and simple, I agreed just this once to have a big...

Fiammetta Thanks for your input, we'll be wiser next time. We had the party and it was fun. Next year we'll try and organise donations instead of plastic toys. Its worth a try!

I make salads all the time. I once recreated the famous Olive Garden salad for a party and people were begging me to make it again. But why does a restaurant salad taste better when I'm out to dinner instead of at home for...

Fiammetta I know what you mean. It's true. I think its the surprise element. When someone else makes your salad, there will always be an element of surprise as you don't know exactly whats in it. Even salad dressings no matter how basic, rarely taste alike. Sliced...

Fiammetta That's hilarious. I'd love to hear a chimpanzee laughing. That would cheer everyone up. What about people that laugh like horses? What category do they come under?

My husband and I recently went to visit his dad and step-mom. His sister-in-law flew down to visit, and she's 4 months pregnant. I've always had some issues with her, but she was just SO unbearable on this visit! Now, let me say...

Fiammetta She sounds a bit over the top to me. Pregnancy can make you tired and irritable but you just have to get on with it and not take it out on others. At least you can keep your distance from her. Good luck

I put a pizza in the oven and sat here and commented on a couple discussions and all of a sudden I looked and my whole kitchen was full of smoke. Actually, so was the room I'm sitting in, but I didn't even notice! Lol. So I...

Fiammetta That is so annoying! I love pizza and cherish my weekly one. I'm so fussy about overdone pizza yet often end up answering the phone or running a bath or doing something just before my pizza burns to a crisp. At least your was still edible. Once when I was a...

When you are ready to start a new discussion, do you use the search feature to see is someone has started a discussion on what you want to talk about? Or do you just go ahead and start one? Sometimes I do; sometimes, when I...

Fiammetta A good question. I'm new on the block and have started some discussions which haven't gone far. Others have got a few responses. I have noticed that similar discussions often come up straight away so I've started to check if the same discussion has already...

I want to know what is the ideal age to have children. My husband and I have different views about this. I am already 26 years old going to be 27 this year. My husband wants us to have children but I want to have children after 3...

Fiammetta When the time is right for you. I had both my kids in my thirties and might even have another. For me it was ideal as I loved my travel and nightlife before. I don't know if anything prepares you for the joy and shock of children in any case. Good luck

Fiammetta What a lovely meaning! What language is it in originally? My "stage name" Fiammetta means little flame. My real name also means something but I'd rather keep it anonymous as there's a price on my head!

Fiammetta Thanks for your reply. I've tried looking for agencies online and there are loads. Looking through them all is time consuming. I'd much prefer if someone could recommend me one or two reputable ones. Do you know any?

Fiammetta Yes we'd hoped to just do a wee party. In the end we gave in as a one off. As for our wedding we just had a small one with us and our son. It was lovely. We didn't have a party afterwards. We since had another son so are christening him next weekend and having...

Hello, I love reading and easily get through a novel a week. I used to be really proud of all the books on my shelf but eventually got fed up with the dust and ran out of space when I had kids. Now I just give books I've read away...

Fiammetta Yes I remember Beast's library it's great. In the Uk I got a part-time library job while I was doing my postgrad. It involved wheeling barrows of books around and putting them away. It was fun and well paid. 'Good luck
