Christmas week I noticed a lump growing on the knuckle bone feeding my right index finger, it came up quickly and it is getting bigger, It is hard and it seem as if it is growing on the bone. At first it was probably as big as a lentil, now it is as big as a garbanzo bean any ideas anyone

Does anyone have one of these. My daughter has a V6 one but apparently there is a newer one a V8, comes in two types , animal and another which just has an extra brush. I am considering buying one but have never been a lover of Dysons so am right on the fence. My daughter sings it's praises but...

maybe I should have said yesterday or tomorrow so if folks want to copy they can plan. Today I am making a baby sized Cottage Pie, like Shepherds pie but with left over beef roast instead of lamb. I will make buttered honey carrots to go with it and peas. No dessert as I am alone today. I...

If you are not in the country of your birth or have lived in another country for a while was there any food stuffs you craved that you could not get. I absolutely cannot get smoked haddock and I really want it. There is no substitute unless it is smoked cod which I can't get either, and I have...

I am curious as to what folks would cook for low cost meals. I was a baby when WW2 finished in the UK but my mother taught me many of the wartime recipes and I often do them. Sometimes for Lent I do the whole 40 days just to see if I still can. They would be more stringent than just a low...

I have to do a dinner for a 12 , maybe 16. The menu has to be very special for this occasion.. lots of ideas floating around in my head but I am curious as to what you folks would classify as special. The only thing I am sure about at this time is I will make a croquenbouche, I haven't done one...

Folks keep telling me that they don't cook anymore as there is only themselves, they use convenience foods. I can't see me ever doing that but they tell me it is inevitable;...is it. what do think?

I have mentioned the odd thing here and there since I joined the forum but never really posted this. I married my Husband when I was 16, we have been married 57 years. By the time 2000 came I was sure my husband had some form of dementia. I knew him inside out and backwards and I just knew...

Hi, I know this forum is worldwide and Radley is little known outside of the UK but just a thought are there any folks out there who collect the Radley signature picture bags?

Most of us struggle with something these days and those that don't work hard so I have this little thing I do for me. My own struggle is with pain, sometimes it would bring a horse down but I refuse to let it bring me down. I won't take to my bed no matter how much I am hurting I just try to...
