Just as I was struggling for inspiration this week, Jasper threw up on the bedroom carpet. For those of you who haven't got to grips with this yet, Jasper is the dog, not the lovely husband. It seems that although Jasper regularly supplements his die...

My lovely husband would give anything for this article to be about sinus problems. But poor him, in the wake of an article on cystitis, I'm actually moving on to embarrassing subject number two: constipation. It must be hard being married to someone...

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...
