My mere male, wonderful husband, realised his side of the dual bladdered water-bed had sunk quite dramatically. To his way of thinking, the plug was pulled all ready for him to top it up.

Being a Thinker, I queried as to how water could evaporate from a water-bed. How about the patch that replaced the last leak?

I have been married for 3 years and my husband cheated on me when I was 7 months pregnant with my son.  He cheated on me with a 16 yr girl who lied and said she was 21 years of age in which she did look older.

Too fat for what? That’s what I want to know.

For looking good in lycra shorts? For exposing navel piercings in public? But I’m getting ahead of myself.

The body monitors have spoken up again this week, with the usual bad news – that we’re too fat, and getting fatter. More than half of us, indeed, have been damned as obese. As in really, really fat.

Dawn French

I can very well remember the first time I saw Dawn French on television. It was back in the 80's when her show French and Saunders was first screening. I loved their humour and at that time they were the only female comediennes I had seen on television. Since then I've followed Dawn French's career through her many television shows right up until my all time favourite, The Vicar of Dibley.

Okay to look at me, you'd never have guessed that fifteen days ago I was a happily married wife and mother well, a married wife and mother.

There in my mirror is the look of the new me, two big zits, red eyes and bags under my eyes you could pack households in. And you can't even see the half of it (at least I hope you can't see) the laryngitis, the stress and the new set of grey hairs.

Did any of you watch the Inside New Zealand docmentary called 'Love on line'? If you did it showed people who have used NZ dating and other such dating sources. I was on that programme with my partner Ian.
