I have a big tup of 3 courgette plants. They have flowered really well (and still flowering). When the flowers have died, there is just a sort of stem left, which I assuming is the early courgette, but it is only small, really like a small string bean. Is this normal and will the courgettes start to grow? I am keeping them in my concervatory at the moment because the weather here in the UK at the moment is horrendous. First time growing these so any advice would be useful. Thank you in anticipation

There's the long cord that came with it and that little eagle topper that inserts into the top of the pole, and of course the flag has eyes for the cord at top and bottom, but everything came undone during our recent move. It seems that the complex series of loops and knots not only kept it on the pole but made it behave and wave beautifully in the breeze without getting wrapped around the pole.

We just bought expensive black leather furniture that we love so much. and now with job reassignment we had to move into an older country farm house with brown wood panelling, it's honestly hideous but we can't paint it or remodel it and it's light brown with dark brown molding at the top and bottom. I am horrible at decorating but I really would like for it to look nice. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this room work and not have to spend hundreds of dollars?

I work in a restaurant. Tonight they are going to bomb the place with a pesticide to get rid of the roach problem we are having recently. I am very upset because tommorow I have to go in 3 hours earlier with very little pay to wipe down all the aftermath and restock all the supplies. To top it off my boss is not even going to be there cause he will be enjoying a sunday stroll in the park instead? I am seriously thinking of quitting. Will the chemicals be dangerous for me? Is it worth my health? Please..HELP!!!

I moved into a new apartment 3 months ago, my landlord did everything to get the smell of smoke out. She changed carpets, tile, prime, paint, professional cleaning, everything and nothing has worked. The lady who lived here before me was a smoker and never opened the windows, she baked in that smell and it's horrible. We kkep the windows and balcony open 24/7 and still no change. BTW we also tried sprays and scented fans. Are there any methods that you can recommend? It's embarrassing and uncomfortable.

Help! I have bowling shoes that are only a little over a year old. The slide on the left shoe is very worn and needs to be replaced. OK, so HOW do I do that?! I cannot for the life of me find a proshop that does this repair. I see the replacement sliders on line, but how does one do it? Does the slide peel off? Scrape off? Brush off?! Please let me know! Thank you!!! I'm so frustrated!!:(

Hi guys,

I just moved in to a house (will only be here a year) but my room is pretty small. Heck, perhaps I would consider it tiny.

It should be around 100 sq ft.

I have a Full Bed, and am planning to purchase a new desk.

Are there any ideas as to what I could do to make the room look a tad more spacious and at the same time a contemporary yet clean bedroom that will also serve as a study area.

I really enjoy black and white photography, but I don't know how frames on the wall will make my room look more spacious.
