Packing a Man’s Overnight bag – The Lowdown
My husband has to go into hospital at the end of this week, hopefully for a very short (read overnight) stay. To say this is causing consternation would be the understatement of the year. So far he has asked me to check out our medical insurance, the cost of private healthcare, and case studies of medical negligence – all ‘just in case’ (his words, not mine).

But no, this has become the cause of some fretting, what to pack, and what to leave…

But then Em explained that this was a special project looking to test out whether lucky charms really do work, and that I would be given some lucky charms (cereal as it turned out), as well as a few other gifts, such as cufflinks and DVDs to test out. Now, I don’t mind admitting that I am slightly superstitious. I always salute magpies (I for sorrow and all…

Naomi Watts recalls the glamour of Diana
During the last week, whilst I was enjoying a family holiday, I have been engrossed on a daily basis with the pictures that have been emerging from the film set of ‘Caught in Flight’. For those unfamiliar with that title, this is the film of the last few years of the life of Diana, Princess of Wales covering the events leading up to her tragic death in that Parisian tunnel in 1997, with thelate Princess being portrayed by a uncannily Diana -Like Naomi Watts. I was a huge fan of the late Princess of Wales from the day she stepped out of that carriage at St Paul’s cathedral in that…
