I have a purple full length ball dress I want dry cleaning as I've got some greasy marks on it. Anyone know how much they would charge to do this? Are they reliable?

I've just started my new job and I've had several people ask me when my baby is due or hint about my being pregnant. I'm not. I'm just overweight. What should I say??? I have low self-esteem and so far have found it easier not to say anything, but they're going to notice eventually when there is no baby!

I'm graduating on Wednesday with MBChB (Hons) in Medicine. Are you graduating and if so with what?

I'm graduating on Wednesday from Uni and I have visions of getting overly emotional and having a little cry..... anyway.....I have quite short thin eyelashes and want to know what people think is the best water-proof mascara to use that gives volume and length?

A man with 3 young children has died at the age of 50 and people are making jokes about him being biodegradable, whether he should be allowed to be cremated due to fumes, whether they can get refunds on concert tickets, whether its fake.....

What happened to people just mourning the death of a terrific performer, singer, songwriter? OK he was a bit odd, but then who isn't??

My fiance is into LARP and roleplaying on MMOs, I play WOW, but I've never understood the point of RPing - can someone explain to me what you get out of it? I'm not having a go - just curious??

I know what I think but let's hear what you have to say.......

I got engaged on Sunday :-D :-D and we want to start wedding planning. We have no idea where to start, how long it will take, how much it will cost.....I know it depends on the wedding, but some kind of idea would help us greatly. Please share your experiences xx

ITV has axed wire in the blood! Despite being a highly popular show and pulling in regular audiences they have decided it doesn't deserve their funding. I'm really upset! I love this show! Are there any other shows that have disappeared that people love?!?

Saw these 2 stories on yahoo and I just think the worlds gone insane.

Now in the case of the above - if the mother was that worried should she not have taken him to the hospital herself after being told they didn't do home visits?

And with this one - yes ok the sharps box should have been out of reach and not overfilled, but should the child not be being watched by the mother to stop it taking a sharp out of the box and then sucking on it? If the needle was just randomly on the floor then I can see their point but really!

I am going to Australia for 8 weeks in March and wish to have a phone to use so I can phone my family in the UK and hopefully text as well. I currently have a contract with orange and phoned them but they said I would have to use my contract phone and pay for calls and texts which would be very expensive. Does anyone have any ideas on best way for us to keep in touch (yes I know email....but I actually want to speak to them). Helpful comments only please!

I used to love the little jelly bean things called Starburst joosters, where did they go??? I've not seen them in years! Also I really miss opal fruits - starbursts just aren't the same. And golden grahams cereal!! Like the curiously cinnamons but honey flavoured. I used to eat handfuls straight out of the box lol. Any other foods you miss???

I broke up with my ex after 2 years almost 3 years ago. Things have been ok untilp recently with occasional contact by text or msn, but recently he has started asking me for sex. I am in a relationship with the man of my dreams and he is in a relationship to. I have no interest in him. He keeps sending me messages about how he wants to tie me up and use me and lots more graphic ones (mainly s&m or watersports - ergh). Also tells me about the girls he has cheated on his girlfriend with including 1 married woman, again in graphic detail. How do I get him to leave me alone? I've asked him nicely to stop (nicely and forcefully) but he wont delete my number. I've blocked him on msn. Serious advice only please.

I'm due to go there for 8 weeks from next March as part of my medical training with the MidWest Aero Medical Services and can't wait. Just want some feedback about the area, things to do, etc

My boyfriend and I have "hero" by enrique iglesias as our song as when we first started dating it was on telly we were watching and he just sang it to me. Means a lot to me. Just curious if anyone else has 1 and what it is and why??

I have had trichotillomania (look it up) for about 10 years now. I have a large bald patch on the back of my head and also pull out my pubic hairs. It mainly happens when I'm alone. I also chew the root if it comes out, and can sit with a hair in my mouth for hours. I mainly pull thick ones if I can find them. No matter what I try I can't seem to stop. I've tried tying it up, sitting on my hands, etc but when i'm working I suddenly realise I'm doing it. I've been to my GP and he told me not to be silly it's not a real condition and I can't afford to pay to go to a psychiatrist.

Any tips please from sufferers.

I've been with my boyfriend now for coming up to 18 months and we have lived together for 3. At first everything was great but now he just wont do anything more intimate than kiss me. Neither of us were virgins when we met. He says he is still attracted to me but we haven't made love now in almost 7 months. Whenever I try and get more intimate with him, kisses, cuddles, etc, he just pushes me away. I've tried talking to him and he says he's tired, but I don't know what to believe. Please help.

My partner and I are moving house over the next couple of weeks and want to get some cardboard boxes (preferably free ones) for moving things in. Any useful suggestions on where I can get them from?

With the new smoking ban in work places what happens on set of a tv/film shoot where the character smokes, eg in the home or in a period piece where smoking in public places was accepted. Are they still allowed to as technically it is a place of work?

I started seeing a guy a few months back, and I do like him but recently met a guy that I really want to be with. The new guy is sweet funny kind and we had an instant connection. I really need to tell my bf tonight (seeing him at our sports club) but don't know what to say or how to tell him. He's always been more interested in me than I am in him.
