My tap is dripping. I've asked DH to fix it because I can't be bothered to work out how. It's been a week and it still isn't done. What shall I do?

Something that you love for yourself but could pass off as a genuine present for him.

What shall I do when my 4 year tantrums. I think he should have grown out of them by now.

Bribe him with chocolate and sweets every time and the tantrums will definitely decrease in frequency.

How can I stop my anxiety once and for all?

Scare yourself frequently and horrifically.

Get into a tiny enclosed space and tell yourself there isn't sufficient air.

Sentimental items, read all the old cards, look through your photo albums and have a good cry about times long past, the packing can wait.

How should I deal with a rude colleague I don't like but have to talk to about work?

Get yourself a glass of wine and pour it into a box.

Drink all the rum. Then say whatever comes to your mind.

Don't cook. Keep it all raw, including the turkey.

Don't go, put all your previous wages on a gambling bet instead.

My tap has dripping for months. For complicated reasons, I don't want to bring in the plumber (who is also the gas engineer) until the roof is fixed. I have been let down roofers for the last the last six months.

In the meantime, given that I am on a water meter, I've stuck a big jug under the drip and use it to fill my kettle.

Call your boss and enthusiasticly tell them all about your last bowel movement, spare no details.

have a public fight in the pub when you say “ I’ll kill you you bastard” In front of 100 witnesses. Then suffocate him and hide him in the loft.

Fake your own murder, and have him sent t prison for life. Then live out your life on the island of St Marie, and marry the police Inspector there.

Buy bottle of vodka, a can of hotdogs and go to poshest shop you can find and spend few hundreds on obscure food you never heard of.
Now gather all that posh food, quickly drink all vodka and try to make eight course high end french dinner.
Fail at every step.
Leave kitchen in ruins.
Serve your MIL hotdogs straight from the can.
