Not just a pretty face

I'm cooking for myself and 2 kids on a tight budget. Any suggestions?

Hi. I am a 35 year old single mother of 2 gorgeous girls that are 9 and 10. I will not be having any more children of my own but I love pregnancy and would love to give a couple the chance of having their own child by becoming a surrogate. I know it is illegal to be compensated for surrogacy in Australia and I think this is very unfair. I would not do it if I were not paid as I would have to have time off work, and pay for care for my children when I was busy doing medical stuff, plus pregnancy is taxing on the body. Besides, the money would really help me to give my girls a better life and help with the cost of their education. Do people still pay for surrogacy under the table in Australia? I know this sounds crass but it is a legitimate question as I know women get paid upwards of $10,000 in the US.

Hi there. I am starting an online boutique in Australia and have no technical knowledge. Does anyone know what would be a good shopping cart software to use to set up and host my store in Australia? I was looking at Big Commerce but they are a US only site.

I think the bold blues look amazing but I have never been daring enough to try anything that out there. I usually stick to natural shades. I have an olive complection with very dark brown hair. I wonder if I should have a go?

I have been googling like crazy and can't seem to find a creamy light coloured eyeliner to highlight my eyes. I want something to use as you would use a white pencil to make the eyes look bigger but I feel white is a bit too harsh looking and wanted something maybe in a pearl or soft yellow. Do you have any suggestions of brands and shades I could try? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to update my make-up. I currently use everyday minerals and revlon but would like to step it up a notch and get some really good products. Any suggestions?

I have two girls aged 6 and 8. They are beautiful girls and I love them very much but sometimes I find it difficult with them fighting all the time and demanding of me. The older one has issues and is a control freak and it is a daily battle dealing with her behaviour. I just want to lock myself in my room with earplugs in and escape. Also I feel stuck at the moment in that I can't follow any career prospects or training I want to get into due to parenting commitments. I feel really down some days and have suicidal thoughts which at this point I feel I will not act upon. I find myself wishing they would hurry up and grow up so I can have a life again, and this makes me feel really guilty. Do I need help?

I am a 31 year old Australian single mother with 2 children. Whilst I love being a mother, I do not intend on having any more children of my own. I am considering becoming an egg donor as I would like to help out a couple who can't conceive. I would like to be financially compensated for my donation as the money would go a long way in my family's life. Current Australian laws prohibit exchange of money for egg donation and I was wondering if anyone knew of some options for me?

I am a little concerned that a friend of mine got played. He married an english lady and I fear she used him to get australian citizenship, now they have only been married 6 months and she has left him.

I'm thinking Cairns or Egypt. One could be a lot more expensive than the other as I'm in Australia (Perth). Or do you have another suggestion for somewhere nice to go on hols?

or if you are single, about the opposite sex in general?

My cat Chloe just joined facebook and is looking for buddies;)

She wants a pogo stick and a skateboard. I told her that Santa was a little worried about her safety with these choices. Any other suggestions?

I have been invited to an "S" party new years eve. Does anyone have any good ideas on what to go as?

My best mate of 17 years has been dating my ex (who is the love of my life and who I never got over and they both know it) for the last few months and I found out through a mutual friend. I am devastated even though I know that I will never be with him, I feel like she has betrayed our friendship and I can't be friends with her anymore. Am I right in my thoughts on this?

Personally I think I am better off. Fuel is cheaper, housing is cheaper and the government is handing out money. Bring it on!

I just had to say goodbye to my best friend of 17 years after she slept with my ex with no regards for my feelings.
