Housework tip please - what's the best way to freshen up a smelly vacuum cleaner

emalijay @emalijay (111) 30 Nov 06

When you see a police car or police officer, do u automatically feel guilty?

emalijay @emalijay (111) 11 Nov 06

I can't help but feel a tiny bit guilty when I see an officer/police car, even tho' I've not done anything wrong. Does anyone else get this feeling?

emalijay I guess for the most part it's just me that feels like that! Thanks for all your comments :)

emalijay @emalijay (111) 10 Nov 06

The best part for me is seeing the delight on my son's face, and I don't just mean about the presents. We traditionally go for a long walk on Christmas morning, just the two of us and it's magical because we rarely see more than a...

Do you like surprises?

emalijay @emalijay (111) 10 Nov 06

I mean like walking into a darkened room and suddenly the lights go on, a load of people shout "Surprise!" and you have a ready made party. Or do you prefer to know exactly what's coming next?

emalijay Perhaps you need to drop some heavy hints!

Why do some posts get a ton of responses and others nothing at all?

emalijay @emalijay (111) 10 Nov 06

It can't be that the subject matter is not of interest each time so is it because not many people are seeing the post?

emalijay I'm impatient and also like things organised so I guess that's why the surprise thing is a problem for me

Please be as descriptive as possible The more details you provide, the more likely you are to receive responses to your discussion.

emalijay But what subject can be classed as new or refreshing when it seems so many have been done already? I'm a newbie so obviously not clued up on usual topics but from what I've seen so far, there's a lot of touting own websites and referral links

smoking while pregnant

aimeejgrant @aimeejgrant (112) • Australia 8 Nov 06

do you think that people that smoke while they are pregnant are ignorant or cruel people? I smoked one ciggerete a day while i was pregnant but quit after my cesarian and now when i see pregnant people smoking it looks bad to me....

18 responses

emalijay You are absolutely right in that it is vile and also that these women need assistance. I'm deeply ashamed to say I smoked 2-3 cigarettes a day for part of my pregnancy, cutting down from what then was about 25 a day. I spoke at great length with my doctor...
