She has shut me out Q My daughter-in-law is a welcoming person but also quite a cold fish. Three months ago she gave birth to my first grandchild, who I adore, but my attempts to get closer have been shut down. I live 10 minutes away so I’d love to drop round to give my granddaughter a cuddle, or feed her or take her out, but my son says his wife doesn’t like this. I have to wait to see the baby once a week and on their terms, which is hard. Why won’t she let me be closer? Coleen, 60, Kent A Being a mother for the first time is hard, and although you mean well, you need to give your daughter-in-law time to find her feet. Dropping over…

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK – one in 18 women are diagnosed during their lifetime. So it’s no wonder the NHS has invested heavily in research and issued around 30 million home-testing kits since 2006, designed to identify hidden blood in stools. But, despite the benefits of early diagnosis, an estimated 11 million kits (which cost the NHS around £5 each) are binned or left unused. ‘There are a number of reasons why some people choose not to take the test,’ says Lauren  Wiggins, director of services at Bowel Cancer UK. ‘Some of the most common reasons we hear include that it’s too messy, too complicated or that people don’t understand it.’ Yet a new home-screening test being rolled out later this year is…

Thanks to surgery-obsessed celebrities posting images of their cosmetically enhanced features on social media, the demand for a variety of procedures – from Botox and lip fillers to liposuction and bum lifts – has dramatically risen. But so, too, has the number of procedures that have gone wrong. In fact, the number of people having problems during or following surgery rose from 378 in 2016 to 931 in 2017. Many experts believe this is largely because cosmetic surgery in the UK is still unregulated, with 83% of procedures being carried out by non-medics. Out of the estimated 28,315 people who went under the knife in the UK in 2017, hundreds were left with unwanted lumps, bumps, scars and swellings. We investigate...

Anxiety is a type of fear usually associated with the thought of a threat or something going wrong in the future, but can also arise from something happening right now. More than one in 10 people are likely to have an anxiety disorder at some stage in their life and an estimated 13% of the adult population will develop a specific form of anxiety known as a phobia. It’s also thought that women are twice as likely as men to develop anxiety. Stress, anxiety and exhaustion can be all-consuming and have a major impact on your happiness, including your sex drive. If you feel you’re constantly tired, stressed or anxious, you may need to make some lifestyle changes or speak to your GP for advice. Anxiety can be treated in…

Having just retired from my job as a cheese specialist for a supermarket I was getting used to enjoying my free time. ‘I have made new friends’ I was checking my emails when I spotted a message from Woman’s Own Bingo. I read through the email and was impressed by all the new games and great promotions on offer. I had joined in October 2017 and really enjoyed the games with a few small wins. I like Tiki Bingo, a 90-ball game where players can win cash prizes for a line, two lines or the coveted Full House. The rules are so simple and easy to follow, and players don’t even need to mark their numbers themselves as they’re daubed off automatically. So while I was sitting in my living…

Mary sides with Paul’s ex It looks like the once-close bond between original Bake Off judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood has been broken, following his split from wife Alex. ‘Mary is still upset with Paul’ As Paul, 53, moves on with new love Summer Monteys-Fullam, it’s thought Mary, 84, has sided with Alex – and the two ladies will front this year’s BBC Good Food Show together, following confirmation that Paul will not be appearing. ‘Mary is still upset with how Paul behaved with Alex, and is not getting to know Summer,’ revealed a source. ‘To avoid any awkwardness with Paul, she’s more than happy to work with Alex and help boost her profile as a budding celebrity cook.’ Despite confirming that he will not be attending this year’s…

Your new show Pilgrimage: The Road to Rome finds you and other celebs on the trip of a lifetime… I was so excited because I’d never been to Rome and so to be asked to walk from Geneva on an old pilgrim route sounded amazing. I went out and bought walking boots to get in training – sometimes walking five miles a day – because when I looked at the two-week trip I saw one day alone was about 16 miles. What tempted you the most? ‘It was very hard to come down from’ I love history, so to go on a route that pilgrims had walked for hundred of years through forests with no cars, no phones, cut off from everywhere was magical. It felt very mystical. We all…

Unwrapping the final McDonald’s burger in my car, I gobbled it down with the same ferocity as the three before. Then, wiping my mouth with a napkin, I hid the evidence in the brown paper bag in the footwell, before driving home. Aged 17, this was my daily rebellion against the carefully calorie-controlled meal that awaited me at home. My grandmother, who brought me up, put me on my first diet at just two years old. Suddenly every morsel of food was carefully counted. I had a sturdy build as a child, but my grandmother would snap into action if she thought I was getting too big. For the next few years, my diet consisted of vegetables, sugar-free jelly and lean meat. As I got older, though, I started to…

‘We treated Clara in 2001 and the unit closed in 2003 as the children cancer services were transferred to other places. I was amazed to see Clara so many years later. It was lovely. Although I was standing in front of a 20-year-old student nurse, I could still see the four-year-old I had helped care for. We liked to dance together on the ward and I remember Clara was a lovely little girl. She had been really brave and has been through so much. She’s moved around, travelled and I’ve done the same, so it’s amazing to meet again. I’m sure she’ll be a brilliant nurse.’…

Long-haul travel causing problems Q I had a blood clot in my leg a few years ago due to being sedentary on a long-haul flight. I have a similar flight booked and am anxious it comes back. A Anyone planning a flight of more than six hours should drink plenty of water during it, as well as perform regular leg exercises, such as drawing circles in the air with your feet to encourage circulation, and take regular walks around the plane. I would also advise wearing compression stockings, but, above all, you must talk to your GP before you travel. He may advise you to take a junior aspirin before flying. Why isn’t my arm healing better? Q I had breast cancer in my right breast last year. I needed…

IF YOU DO ONE THING THIS WEEK… INSURE YOUR ‘CASH IN THE ATTIC’ From antique jewellery to old watches, nearly two-fifths of Brits have items they’ve put away believing they’ll rise in value, according to research by topcashback.co.uk. But, despite the study finding people claim these valuables are worth an average of £9,541, nearly half of them don’t have the items insured! So check your policy – if your items aren’t covered, ask your home insurer to add them on. HAVE YOU HEARD? Mums returning to work after having children could soon receive greater protection from being treated unfairly, under new plans. The government is proposing that the legal protection against redundancy for pregnant women and new mums on maternity leave should be extended for up to six months after…

‘My sister was my rock’ Emma Best, 32, is a full-time mum who lives in Basildon, Essex, with partner Rhys, 35, a forklift driver and children Harlee, four, Elbiee, two, and Viniee, one. She had her sister, Angela Collins, 35, a nursery manager, with her at the birth of all her children. ‘Angela knew what to say to help me through it’ I was induced with Harlee and it was a long labour. I had both Angela and Rhys with me, but Rhys slept through most of it. He likes routine, so he needed his meals and his sleep. I used to think it was important for a dad to be there at the birth of his children. But Rhys doesn’t cope with seeing me in pain and not being…

Ruth Langsford previously confessed she’s been tempted to get a helping hand in order to maintain her youthful appearance. ‘I’d suggest she’s had a surgical neck and facelift’ The TV presenter, who turns 60 next year, revealed she considered blitzing her wrinkles with Botox and has even admitted that she’s previously had some work done, telling our sister magazine Woman that she’d undergone a microneedling procedure, which involves tiny needles piercing the skin to supposedly encourage new cells to grow. She said, ‘I have had one of those on my face. It’s quite expensive. The little roller pricks the skin. It’s supposed to wake up the natural collagen deep down.’ But her insecurities still appear to be haunting her. ‘There are times I look in the mirror and think, “I…

The birds and the bees Let’s talk about sex, as at the end of this week that’s exactly what EastEnders star Danny Dyer will be doing on telly. With his 11-year-old daughter. Eek. I know the Dyer clan are straight-talking, but is nothing sacred? Not according to Channel 4, which launch its new series – Let’s Talk About Sex – this Friday. ‘Children do need to learn the facts of life, but how much information is too much?’ Danny and his youngest girl, Sunnie, are one of a handful of celeb parent-and-child pairs to take part in the programme. It ties in with sex education becoming mandatory in all secondary schools in England from September 2020. During the first show, Danny reveals to a clearly shocked Sunnie, ‘I was having…

Zoe Ball, 48 The BBC Radio 2 host opts for a blush pink suit rather than a glam gown and looks stunning on the red carpet.

MONDAY Start off slowly Rachael Eden, dietitian at Bupa UK warns that if you need to up your intake, it’s best to do it gradually, to allow your gut to adjust. Increasing it too quickly may cause symptoms such as bloating and gas. It’s a good idea to make sure you’re drinking enough fluids to help with digestion, as fibre absorbs liquid. TUESDAY Stoke up at breakfast ‘Eating porridge made from rolled oats, or a muesli mix, with 1tbsp of flaxseeds and a piece of fruit, you can easily consume 15g dietary fibre first thing,’ says Natalie. Try Linwoods Milled Organic Flaxseed, £4.99 for 425g, Holland & Barrett. WEDNESDAY Leave skins on Eating potato skins and raw or lightly steamed veg will bump up your fibre, advises Natalie.

Thanks to tidiness guru Marie Kondo, you can apply the same principles to your money. 1 First steps A key rule of Marie’s method is dealing with paperwork – not letting it build into piles – and getting rid of what you don’t need. This can also make you more organised with money. Go through your bills, marking when they’re due on a calendar. Also note significant dates like your car insurance renewal so you have time to find the cheapest deal. Put any paperwork you need to act on in one place, and file away anything that you ought to keep hold of. If you’ve got old bills that you no longer need, recycle them, shredding first. To reduce future waste – and save you time in the…

‘It’s been a pleasure to surprise my family’ Settling in for a quiet evening in April 2018, I knew exactly how I wanted to spend my time while  relaxing. My husband Ramnik, 78, was sitting on the sofa watching TV, so while he was comfy watching his programmes, I sat down at the computer to enjoy some bingo and a bit of chat. Bingo is one of my favourite pastimes and some evenings I enjoy a game or two before sitting with Ramnik to enjoy the soaps together. I’d first joined Woman’s Own Bingo after seeing an ad in 2009, and while I’d never really been one to visit bingo halls, I was intrigued by the number of winners and how they spent their win on holidays and treating their…
