A while ago when I jumped on the Kindle bandwagon I found a good community that allowed users to request recommendations of books in the genre they were interested in. I found a few good books that way but for some reason I don't have it in my book marks nor am I a member.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or can point me in the direction of similar?!

Cheers

I've got quite thick, naturally straight hair but it is quite frizzy and poofy :( if I dont use a hairdryer that solves the poofyness but my hair is still frizzy. I don't want to have to straighten my hair everyday and I've tried a few different serums to put on dry hair but they've all had zero effect. Has anyone got a solution? :)

Hello all!

Can anyone share any experiences of the usefulness of employment agencies when looking for permanent (and half-decent) full-time work?

Are there any agencies you would or wouldn't recommend? I'm in Glasgow and looking for admin work.

I've been in my current admin job for 9 months and enjoy the job but HATE the management, and I'm desperate to get out. I want to head to an agency this weekend but I'm not sure where to go, and I have no idea what their general rep is for finding good long-term work opposed to the many the temp opportunies.

Thanks if anyone can share any stories/recommendations!

Hey guys, I know there are a million posts on London and i've read them over the years but just wondered if there was anyone who wanted to give some updated advice? Ignore if you want :)

Going down to london in June with my 2 sisters and my bf and we will be there friday, saturday, sunday and flying home monday evening. Sunday is taken up by one of my sisters going to IMATTS and think the rest of us will be checking out museums/galleries that day.

Other than that no great plans, can you recommend anywhere for us to go Saturday night that isn't touristy shit and not too expensive.

And anything else interesting as my sisters have never been to London!

Oh and anywhere gluten free/veggie?

My in-laws have serious boundary issues, and it's starting to affect me. My husband and I have our lives, and they seem to interfere with all of their spur-of-the-moment, random event planning. They have a ton of kids, we start to feel obligated to do everything all the time. It's hard to have our own life. I need some advice on how to deal with them in our lives. You don't just go to the phone book for this sort of thing. Where do I find guidance?
Any suggestions?

Last weekend I had thought my passport had been lost. I filled out the passport preprinted application thing online and included details about my passport (number etc) and printed out a LS01 Lost/Stolen passport form. My passport has now been found and I haven't sent the LS01 form or even received the printed application form yet. Is my current passport still valid or have I cancelled it by requesting a new application form?

I emailed but they just confused me more!

Hi, well Im allergic to a lot of eyeshadows :/ I want a sensitive, mineral brown shadow, not tested on animals (ingredients or product) and as few chemicals as possible for under £10. Any ideas please?

Hi all - I have this dilemma every summer and haven't found the perfect pair of sandals yet! I have a pair of jelly ones but they get quite sweaty so am in the market for a new pair.

My trouble is that I don't like most of the sandal styles in stores. I don't like - flip flops, gladiator style sandals, platforms, lots of embellishments or floral patterns, and I have quite rough skin on the back of my heel so prefer to find a pair that covers my heel. My budget would be £50-60 tops for a good quality pair of sandals. I've looked on Clarks, ASOS, Schuh with little luck.

I really like this Doc Marten pair, but its out of my budget.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

So I've sent a top to someone almost two weeks ago and they haven't received it. I've got that lost item form which I'm going to send off, but I'm not sure how long the process will take. Should I refund the buyer now or wait for a response from the royal mail before doing anything (as they may be able to recover the package)?

ty in advance! :)

Opinions on horse racing? Just wondering what every ones opinion is. It seems nobody gives a hoot until a horse gets shot, and then suddenly they're an animal rights activist, condemning the sport for unimaginable cruelty???

My dads job meant I almost grew on on racecourses, and I've seen the way the horses are treated; like Kings. I don't have a strong opinion on it though. It just always seems the Grand National brings out the PETA in people!

helloo,

just wondering if any of you know whether there is a laura mercier stand at manchester airport?

thanks

Hi all, hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend.

I know this question has been asked previously, but I would like some up-to-date views if possible...where have people been to for holidays on their own? I think I would have a much more relaxing time if I went solo and it would probably be somewhere in Europe, but I haven't got any further than that. I have lived abroad alone before but never travelled, and that was about five years ago anyway. Does anyone have any ideas or experiences?

Another possibility I though of was a surf camp or similar...I'm pretty keen to learn and will probably never get round to doing it normally (even though I live half an hour away from the coast...) Has anyone been to one of these before that they would recommend?

Thanks!

I've moved to newcastle-under-lyme in stoke-on-trent for university and was wondering if anyone on here lived around here too? If so I'd love some recommendations for nice pubs and restaurants, attractions, any hidden gems like nice villages/small towns to have a wander round in the staffs countryside etc. So far I've got alton towers and chester - would love to find some more local and affordable things to do/visit. Preferably on the south or west of Staffordshire but let me know anything you can think of! Basically, if you live round here - what do you do on your weekends and holidays? Thanks!!
