emalijay @emalijay (111) 22 Aug 07

Hi, Has anybody ever really won something tangible in an online competition? I mean something that has been sent to them in the post, not an e-mail saying you've won. All I ever come across are sites that want you to fill out...

School Holidays - Has it been expensive for you?

emalijay @emalijay (111) 15 Aug 07

Has anyone else found they've spent so much more money than normal on their kids during the school holidays? And does anyone find they spend out more in the hopes that their child(ren) are better occupied?

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

emalijay @emalijay (111) 10 Nov 06

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 @emalijay (111) 9 Nov 06

I used to watch a lot of horror films and not many scared me but just thought I'd ask what others thought of Saw? I loved it, decent psychological plot and plenty of gore but it really got me thinking. Would I do the things the...
