Watching my girls jump on to the swings and my son race after his basketball, I can’t help but smile. My kids love nothing more than an afternoon in the park. But I’m not standing on the sidelines having a natter with the other mums. Instead, I’m at the top of the climbing frame, breaking into a sweat – and I’ve never felt better. In my early twenties, I loved my size 10 figure. I’d go on nights out in tight-fitting dresses and hit the beach in floral bikinis, flaunting my curves. But after becoming a mum to Chloe in July 1999, followed by Lewis in March 2001 and Jessica two years later, looking after myself took a back seat. I ate whatever I could grab in a hurry –…

PIC OF THE WEEK Win £50 if we feature your photo Putit away! I love the hot weather, but really don’t want to see people with everything out, just because the sun’s out! Everyone should dress for the shape they have. I’m fed up of seeing people dressed in ridiculously small pieces of clothing and men with their tops off. Put it away! Lisa Parlow Royal but ridiculous! I loved looking at the snaps of celebs at Royal Ascot and there were some really gorgeous dresses, but some of those hats are verging on ridiculous! Lizzie Cundy’s bold bright yellow number was particularly outrageous. Laura Palmer, Sale Totally disgusting Love rat stories make my blood boil! ‘A family broken apart by betrayal’ was so awful.

Watch out for... If you pay for home and car insurance in monthly instalments, you may be being billed for huge interest charges you’re not aware of. The Financial Conduct Authority says that while nearly half of all households in Britain do this, many are not told it’s at a much greater cost than paying the full premium upfront. The FCA tested 43 insurance and broker websites, including the major comparison sites, and found 19 of them did not tell the buyer in full about the additional cost until it was time to enter their payment details. In four cases, the interest charges were not displayed at all. It reported that while most charged 26-30%, one took more than 75% in fees. Read that small print! Summer treat time! Over…

‘Life’s a permanent holiday’ Who hasn’t seen pictures of celebs relaxing in their mansions and wished that were you? Well, I’m certainly not rich and famous, but I’m no stranger to living in the lap of luxury and – even better – I get paid to do it. In August 2009, life was very different. I was a single mum to James, then six, and had a job at a country hotel. My days would start early – after taking James to school, I’d head to work to serve breakfast for the guests. I’d then clean bathrooms, do dusting and check through the accounts. ‘I’ve stayed in amazing homes’ I’d be at the hotel all day, leaving my parents to pick up James and give him his dinner. By the…

WHY SCILLY? Deserted white sandy beaches and a mild Gulf Stream climate give the Isles of Scilly a tropical appeal, yet they’re only 28 miles off the Cornish coast. The five inhabited islands – St Mary’s, St Martin’s, Tresco, Bryher and St Agnes – are gloriously uncrowded and unspoilt, and hopping between them is easy. Each island has its own distinct identity and every visitor goes home having picked a favourite. But, will you prefer privately owned Tresco, where cocktails in the Flying Boat restaurant and treatments in the spa offer a little luxury? Or rugged neighbour Bryher, where wild Atlantic waves thrash around Hell Bay? One thing all five islands have in common is a reputation for incredible beaches, but many regard St Martin’s as having the best of…
