In 24 hours I have to move back to my flat for Uni as I have been home on holidays. My flatmate lies constantly to me and steals stuff, like food. I dread returning. She is very 2 faced and blames everything on other people. When the flat food I helped pay for was all used up she blamed our...

Hi there! This question was posed to me and I was not quite sure what to answer so thought I would post it here and get some advice on it. The background to the situation: Tony is a committed Christian who is separated and in the process of divorce following his wife having an affair with a...

Hi everyone, Im not sure where to start really and this could be a looong story but I will make it as short as possible. My closest friend, lets call her 'Lisa' is turning back towards a very destructive relationship. See, Lisa used to be married to 'Paul' and the relationship was violent...

Tena koe!! Ke te peha koe? I just thought it was about time there was a thread purely dedicated to the bro's and sista's from New Zealand! (and others who wish they were) hehe. :D Having seen a growth in the room of the 'Niu Zilind' accent I thought -.....lets get to know each other! Hey...

Attention!!!! (ahem..cough...AHEM...ahh thats better) In this day and age life is fast paced, stressful and can become sooo totally mundane..... do we take time anymore to smell the roses? Do we even know how to enjoy ourselves and have a good hearty giggle:D?? Well, if you haven't had a good...

I am freaking out!!! A few months ago my dog broke into my sleepout and dragged out (tearing to shreds) cushions, bedding and other things along with my UNIVERSITY PAPERS! I recovered most of it and was able to sellotape and wipe off the paw prints BUT I missed one crucial page that I did not...

I became a Christian at 12yrs old indirectly through a Christian youth camp. I remember the day vividly ........ I spent the whole camp thinking people were 'bible bashing religious nutters' and vowed never to return. It was overkill and I was soooo over it! Yes, I attended Church before, but...

Today has been a tough day. My 7 month old pup, Sam has been a lot of hard work....he is a lovely dog with an amazingly exuberant and social nature but his training has been soo tough. Today I realised why. I took him to the vet thinking he was cross-eyed in one eye and wondered if that is one...
