Fleur Yes it is much easier with a fitted sheet and a duvet, there's really no excuse! Do you have a top sheet as well, or not? That's a whole other debate!

I’m not an indoor person. There’s only so much time I can spend shut inside before I get ‘cabin fever’ – and in my case most of one day is about the limit. By then I’ll be looking for any excuse to go outside; to take something...

When will the unions ever learn that more often than not, they are simply fighting Peter to pay Paul? Boeing machinists have been on strike fighting for higher wages and more benefits, at the same time that Boeing is struggling...

I just loved this. I was visiting some friends recently and we went out for a walk with their dog (who you can just see in the background). When we came to this little footbridge over a tiny stream there was this totally...

Do you do jobs that you don’t really need to do, just because you can’t bear the way other people do it or the time they take to get around to it? I know I do this, especially with the laundry. If my partner does it, then when he...
