  • Can somebody explain the shared ownership scheme for new houses?

    We are looking to move from rented property and although we both work full time, we just couldn't manage to save for a massive amount of money for a deposit and I don't think we earn enough for a mortgage. We have been told to look into shared ownership and would like to hear from those who are currently doing it, how you go about it and how the payments are worked out. Many thanks for your help! :-)

  • Why can't I find a pair of jeans that don't Show my bum everytime I bend over? :-(?

    Hi, I'm actually really down about this. I've always had wide hips that are Niger than my waist so I have to buy jeans that go over my hips but then are too big for my waist and therefore come down whenever I bend. It's more frustrating now as I have a baby and when I go to baby groups I'm so conscious about being on show as I sit on the floor etc. it's really getting to me now. I try and wear longer tops and cardigans but they don't always work..... Surely I can't be the only one suffering with this, please help me I just don't know what to do :-(

  • Chocolate and wafer balls with faces on them?

    Something reminded me of some sweets I used to enjoy as a child (90's) and it's been driving me crazy trying to think about what they were called. They were wafer balls with chocolate inside and on the wafer they had faces on them and I'm pretty sure they were the Simpsons characters??

    If anybody could help me in remembering them that would be fab!!

  • Diabetes, thyroid or pregnancy?

    Well, I'll try and give you the shortened version.

    Of late I've been feeling very tired and although I work long hours and manage to fit in a few swimming sessions a week I have noticed that I'm not losing weight but for some reason my stomach is getting bigger, I am currently 1 week late for my period and up until a few days ago my breasts were so sore I wanted to cry every time I moved or I touched them!

    My family has a history of both diabetes and thyroid problems so out of curiosity I booked myself in for blood tests including a cholesteral check.

    A few days later I get a call saying my results are in and although the diabetes and thyroid are fine, my cholesteral is a little high. She then said that the doctor wanted to talk to me and I needed to book an appointment (not a phone one, i had to go in). She said that it's not important and it can be anytime within the next few weeks. So I booked it in for the 13th.

    Thinking afterwards, why would a doctor want to see me if there was nothing wrong, i mean they are so busy, surely if it was to talk about my diet then what was wrong with a phone appointment??

    So this got me to thinking, could I be pregnant? Could these blood tests have picked up pregnancy?

    If this is the case then here is another question.....my husband has had a vasectomy 8 years ago!! I dont have any children and we are currently awaiting a vasectomy reversal as we plan to start a family... could it be possible that nature has already taken it's course????

    I would love to hear from anybody who this has happened to or knows anything about why the doctor might want to talk with me, then that would be great! thanks!! xx

  • What films was ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER by Jimi Hendrix played in?

    I heard this song the other day and it instantly reminded me of a film I've seen. I asked my dad and he said it has been in a number of films, although the one's he said I hadn't ever heard of. So I thought the most sensible thing to do would be to ask you guys! :-)

    Now the image I see when I hear it is of people dying, they are dropping to the floor in slow motion, there is no sound just the playing of this song. here's the link if you need a reminder too...

  • How much can I sell my Jungle Carpet Pythons for? UK?

    I have a male & female pair. Brought them from hatchlings. They will be 3 this summer. I have a vast collection of snakes and as we are planning on starting a family, I need to minimise my collection. But I have no idea how much to advertise them for. I paid £350 for the pair as hatchlings and then over £150 for the vivarium with all the bits. Any suggestion s would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! :-)

  • We need an operation! I have excellant credit history. Why can't I get a loan?

    I recently obtained my credit report and score. I was pleased that i have a score of 969 which puts me in the excellant category. I have a few store cards, 2 loans with my bank all of which I have never missed a payment, or had a late payment or defaulted in any way.

    W ewant to start a family, so my husband needs an operation to reverse his vasectomy. I wanted to pay off the 2 loans I have and have a little extra to pay for the op. So I just have the one loan. But I got refused? I'm earning more now then when I took out the first 2 loans? I just don't understand. When I got my score I was sure I'd be able to get it. Now our dreams of starting a family have been shattered and have to be put on hold.

    Surely this must mean that your credit score doesn't stand for anything?????

    If you can help in any way, advice, similar situation. I would love to hear from you :-) thanks!!

  • Please can you share your VASECTOMY REVERSAL stories with me?

    Me and my husband are wanting a vasectomy reversal. We are very excited and can think of nothing else. We are in the process of trying to finance the procedure and if we can't get the money, I think i may cry, so for the time being I would like for you to share your stories, the journey you went through, the outcomes, positive/negative. Thank you, I shall look forward to hearing from you all :-) xx

  • trying for a baby....but husband needs an op. :-(?

    Hi there everybody...

    Well me and my husband decided a few years ago to start a family. During a previous marriage my Husband had a vasectomy and for us to have children we will need it reversed. The problem with have is the money...it will cost around £3400 (there are cheaper VRs but my husband will require microsurgery,resulting in it costing little more).

    Why do we want children if we haven't any money?? Well we were very unfortunate to have lost my husbands mum recently and she left a house that we are entitled to 1/3 of. But we are very worried that the longer we leave it (it's been on the market nearly a year!) the less of a chance we will have in the reversal being success full.

    So after seeing a program recently called '100 men own my boobs' where girls had their breast enlargements paid for over the internet by rich men who sponsored them (obviously they got photos etc out of it), I wondered whether there was any such thing available for our problem??

    Is there a site where we can ask for people to sponsor us to enable us to pay for the op?

    It would be great to hear from anybody who could help or anybody how has any such experiences they would like to share!

    Thanks in advance!

  • Why does my computer keep crashing (rebooting itself) all the time?

    For over a week now my computer just keep shutting down and re-starting itself.

    I've used spybot and AVG virus scans and nothing found.

    The system isn't overheating.

    When in safe mode it works fine without shutting down but in normal mode it happens all the time. Could be straight away after it has re-booted or after 30 mins of use.

    It happens when connected and not connected to the internet (eg when in doc folders etc).

    The only change we have had recently is that we cancelled AOL as our internet provider and switched to O2. A week after we uniinstalled AOL this has been happening? Could this be connected?

    I am using my computer now, but it's like a little time bomb- not knowing when its going to shut down!

    Please help us! many thanks!

  • 3D Films- Can you get good quality one's and bad quality one's?

    I recently watched a 3d movie for the first time (I know, where have I been?) :-) It was at home on DVD with the glasses that come with it. The movie was Journey to the centre of the earth. Now I wasn't really impressed. When things were moving quickly, they were out of focus, so i wondered whether you could get good and bad quality 3D films or is this what I should expect from them all? Or is it the glasses, can you get good and bad of those too?

    I really want to see Final Destination at the cinema and I don't want to be disappointed!

    Thanks for any replies in advance! lol

  • Who else loves Marcus from BB10?

    Me and my husband love BB and this year we are loving Marcus. We have enjoyed watching him from the start. Although he reacts in an aggressive way sometimes and uses alot of bad Language, he does admit he thinks it's good tele. But he is just hilarious! He talks to BB like nobody else and is spot on with his assumptions and theories over housemates and even BB. He is the only one who tells it like it is and isn't influenced by other housemates or what the public may think of him and I think he's great!

    So who else is with me on this one!?!

  • Could somebody please explain the ( OU Open University) 'Open' Degree.?

    I have just received the prospectus and i'm looking at it along with viewing the website and the more I read to try and understand how it works, the more confused I'm getting.

    I want to teach Primary School children KS1 and thought an Open Degree is best suited. I'm aware you et to choose your subjects, providing they're releveant to your desired outcome, but it says 'click here for a list of undergraduate courses' and it gives you a long list but I have no idea how many i'm meant to choose or just how to go about it.

    If you could help that would be great? Perhaps your currently studying an Open Degree yourself and could help me out?

    I want to have some understanding before I phone them so I don't sound totally stupid! :-)

    Thanks in advance!
