I’m Taking Back Control Of My Borders

  Health ,  Lifestyle I’m Taking Back Control Of My Borders “You look like one of those Hollywood celebs,” my (now ex) boyfriend said pensively as he eyed me getting ready to go out one evening, peering over the top of his phone. “Thanks babe,” I replied, beaming. “….yeah you know, that chunky one whose book you were reading on holiday. Amy…Schumer?” “Oh yeah…right…” I peered in the mirror, deflated, and vowed silently to lose it, once and for all. The man, I mean. That would be 13 stone of excess baggage gone in one fell swoop. To be fair, he had a point: both Amy and I bore more than a passing resemblance to Miss Piggy in those days – and I clearly liked to hang out with a muppet. So I gave him the heave-ho…and vowed to heave my arse to the gym. Separated at birth: I even have a lower back tattoo. Yikes! Faulty relationship dealt with, it was time to continue with my life admin and take stock of my lifestyle. Having stopped smoking at the age of 40, I had been slowly taking ...

  Fashion & Beauty ,  Health ,  Lifestyle In Which I Pose In My Bikini For The Sun Imagine my horror when I rocked up at this recent shoot for The Sun and realised I’d be posing in my bikini alongside a group of hotties who were mostly young enough to be my daughters.

Last of the Summer Wine

Image
  It’s 3.33 on a Saturday morning and just like that, I’ve had an idea; a lightbulb moment has roused me from the fitful slumber of a muggy summer’s night and catapulted me into the excited mental state of someone on the cusp of a brand new adventure. After months of nursing a chronic case of inertia I’ve woken alert, with the crystal-clear clarity of someone  whose  new path is finally becoming visible, after years of wandering aimlessly through the hazy maze of life. It’s like someone finally took it upon themselves to chop back the overgrown meadow that is my unkempt existence and reveal the neatly-kept garden hiding beneath the brambles. Having blitzed my home over recent months, my Lockdown Elf has finally decided to work on my Self. The planets are aligning and the Universe is calling me once more. My get-up-and-go got up and went…but change is in the air. I can taste it. So what is this big ‘Aha!’ moment I’ve just had? Have I discovered the cure for  COVID, ...
