The Xmas tree seems to have stopped drinking water. Any fixes short of sawing off the bottom of its trunk? It's already decorated.

So, this 4.5 mile queue to see the Queen - has there ever been a longer queue? I feel like the UK really should hold the world record for queuing. It's our thing.

Can anyone recommend a good-quality high sleeper bed with a desk/comfy chair/storage? We're trying to upgrade the 9yo's room (and work out where to put her 200+ soft toys).

I've done something painful to my little toe - might be a simple fracture. I've tried buddy taping it, but it's made it hurt even more. 2nd toe a bit bruised as well, so is the answer to tape all three toes?
