ollowing on from last week's story about sweaty hotpants, I've had another scary pants encounter. This time at a spa where in preparation for a deluxe body peel, I was asked to wear a pair of paper knickers, manufactured to cover ... hmmm, how do I p...

After last week's E. coli spinach revelations, apparently carrot juice is now contaminated with botulism! I'm sure McCain oven chips and Tropicana Twister are running a smear campaign against healthy living. However, following the FDA's advice, avoid...

There's nothing quite like a spinach-related E. coli outbreak to give a nutritionist a headache. It's hard enough to get people to eat salad at the best of times, let alone when the FDA have handed them the perfect excuse to walk straight past the sa...

So I'm finding it very hard to concentrate this evening as I've just switched on the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer all at once. The result? An indoor thunderstorm ? who said open-plan was a good idea? To top it all off there's also a mosquito...

Back home after our French holiday and life is now a little bit depressing. I spent so long looking forward to it that I'm not really sure what to do with myself now that it's over! A mini-detox perhaps? We did after all spend a lot of time in the Ch...

By the time you read this I'll be thousands of miles away on holiday in France! Maybe not the most sensible destination for someone with both wheat and dairy allergies ? it is the bread and cheese nation after all. Also, since the last French lesson ...
