Another silly question:


When looking to rent somewhere - is rent ever negotiable? I know you can't speak for everyone, but on the whole is there ever room for manoevre or will people laugh in your face?


Yes yes, I could just ask when I look round, but I just wanted to know if anyone's tried it.

"Tom Cruise has given his pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes unique 27th birthday present - a DVD compendium of every movie he has acted in.



The War Of The Worlds, 43, decided there was no better gift for his wife-to-be than a full history of his long and fruitful career.


A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “Each was inscribed with a special handwritten love message to the future mother of his child.”


That's creepy

Hair was up, the collarbones were unadorned and sparkling a little. It was all good.


But, my goodness, can we stop all the partying now and just go home? I must be getting old, but if I see another glass of champagne...

On a scale of 1 to 'you heartless cow', how ruthless and unsentimental is it to sell or give away old birthday or Christmas presents that you really do not use (or perhaps like)?

Today, I feel happy. Hurray!


I am however dreadfully broke again. I don't know where my Christmas party dress money's going to come from. I may have to sell a kidney.


I am trawling through a book that is such hard work - Electric Michelangelo...has anybody else read it? Is it worth me persevering?

Did anybody watch Making Slough Happy last night?  A study on what we need to do in life to be happy.  I meant to watch it, but then got distracted, however - to cut a long story short, these are the rules we need to live by apparently...


THE HAPPINESS MANIFESTO

  • Plant something and keep it alive.
  • Count your blessings — think of at least five — at the end of every day.
  • Have an hour-long uninterrupted conversation with your partner each week.
  • Telephone a friend.
  • Give yourself a regular treat.
  • Have a good laugh each day.
  • Take regular exercise.
  • Smile at strangers, or talk to them.
  • Cut your television viewing by half.
  • Perform an act of kindness every day.

    Hypothetical question:

    How old are you, and what would be the upper and lower age limits for somebody you'd consider going out with?  Or if you don't want to reveal your age..just give us a general impression ...
