Loved Eleanor Oliphant as an audio book. The narrator’s voice really added to the experience.

Thanks Alix. Can I ask were there heaps of additional expenses on board? Were most of the restaurants and bars on board included in the price or did you have to pay extra? 

Estrogen patches changed my life for the better. So you can imagine my response when the chemist told me today there was no stock until mid August. It’s not a simple matter of just trying something new. Women aren’t an experiment to test different medications on. We deserve consistent and reliable health options and treatments.

Can’t wait to tell my 77 year old Mum that hot rollers are back in vogue. She will be delighted.

I see so many gorgeous clothes in shop windows but I can't buy them because they don't stock over a size 16. I've started buying clothes online and support lots of smaller businesses that have embraced inclusive sizing. Curvy girls have money to spend and we want to look great. So hurry up brands and include us, and you'll be rewarded with our hard earned cash.

Thanks Mandy for your thoughtful article. Even as a 51 year old mum to teenagers I still have be reminded to take time for myself…. To slow down, say “no” more often and spend some time doing what I love. My family benefits more when I heed this advice.
