I LOVE a good decluttering story. I read every word and often do what the experts suggest to some extent. Yet somehow there always seems to be more stuff at some point down the line and I start all over again . . . My husband has no issues with throwing things away but somehow it’s not as easy for me. I always seem to need the very thing I tossed two days earlier. Our story on page 14 is an interesting take on why we hold on to certain things. The author believes there are many reasons we don’t tackle the things we need to sort out – and suggests ways we can address them head-on. I’d love to hear what you think of her theories and how you…

LESS than two months ago the Duchess of Cambridge was given a cuddly toy while on a royal tour of Poland and Germany. Turning to her husband, she laughed and said, “We’ll just have to have more babies.” And now look! That little teddy is going to have a baby to cuddle it in six or seven months’ time. The news that William and Kate are expecting their third child was received with a collective sigh of happiness in a world beset by trauma and turbulence. Finally something positive to concentrate on – a break from Brexit, Donald Trump, nuclear missiles and terrorism. And we hadn’t been expecting a thing. After the Cambridges wed, royal watchers were on tenterhooks waiting for the announcement of the first pregnancy. Then George was…

1984 Former paediatric nurse Genene Anne Jones is serving a 99-year sentence for killing a baby girl at Bexar County Medical Centre in San Antonio in the USA. While she was convicted of only one killing, authorities suspect she may have killed more than 50 infants. Jones, now 67, was found out when another nurse decided to dig into the Texan hospital’s unusually high infant-mortality rate. She discovered Jones’ name on the nurse’s roster whenever a baby had died inexplicably. But Jones could walk free by 2018 due to a law that grants a mandatory release to inmates with good behaviour. At that point the suspected serial killer will have served only 35 years, just over a third of her sentence. 1989 Nurse aides (left from top) Irene Leidolf, Waltraud…

CAREER OPPORTUNITY It’s bring-your-pet-to-work day at the office, so a guy takes his cat along. The cat checks out the office then walks up to the paper shredder and says, “Teach me everything you know.” THE LIQUOR TALKIN’ A couple are at a party when the host walks up to them. “You’re a good-looking woman,” he says, addressing the wife. “Honest. I’ve had only one beer.” “Wow,” the husband interjects. “Imagine how great she’ll look after two.” GOOD POINT Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.

PROJECT POTATO SALAD Using Kickstarter to launch his campaign in 2014, American Zack Brown set a goal of $10 (then R110) to make the perfect potato salad. His reason was simple: “I realised that I really liked potato salad but had never made it.” It started off as a joke but he ended up raising $55 000 (now R715 000) and threw a huge potato salad party in a park in Columbus, Ohio, for all his donors. PIRATED PANCAKES In 2013, pancake lovers raised $18 633 (then R186 330) to create the Pirate Pancake Griddle. The funding page was started by Joe Sandor, who initially wanted to create a crepe pan. Joe chose the Celtic symbol Triskell (which looks like three spirals) and shared pictures of the final product online.…

HE WAS called useless and a jackass and beaten and terrorised by the man who should’ve protected him and made his home a safe and loving place. For years Hollywood hotshot Tyler Perry could not look at childhood photos of himself without tears welling up as nightmarish memories surfaced of the abuse meted out at the hands of his supposed father, Emmitt Perry Snr. Tyler, born Emmitt Perry Jnr, changed his name to distance himself from his father as soon as he was able. Today he’s a highly respected filmmaker, actor, comedian, writer and songwriter with a $600 million (R7,8 billion) fortune to his name. His fame and wealth would’ve made it easy to distance himself even further from Emmitt, who made his life such a living hell he thought…

‘I was always very critical of myself from a young age’ – NICOLE SCHERZINGER NICOLE OPENS UP ABOUT BULIMIA SHE found fame as the sexy frontwoman of The Pussycat Dolls in the noughties, but little did her fans know the secret NICOLE SCHERZINGER was hiding at the time. Recently the pop singer and X Factor judge gave a frank interview about her battle with bulimia which started when she was a teen but really had her in its grip during the height of the band’s success from 2005 to 2010. She’d first disclosed her past struggle with the disorder in 2014. “It was very imprisoning and it stole all of my happiness, confidence and memories,” Nicole (39) says in the interview, published in Cosmopolitan’s September issue. Her obsession with dieting…

GWYNETH PALTROW (44) has conceded she “f***ed up” when it came to her past relationships. The Iron Man actress, who was once engaged to actor Brad Pitt and was married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin for 10 years, said in a radio podcast that she’s a “good friend, sister, daughter and mother but I’m at my potentially most vulnerable and f***ed up in the romantic slice of the pie”. She later acknowledged her current relationship with producer and director Brad Falchuk, saying, “It’s taken me a lot of work to get to the place where I have a good relationship.” Call the Kardashians what you want, but they proved their hearts were in the right place recently when KRIS JENNER (61) announced on Instagram she and her daughters, Kourtney, Kim,…

‘As things stand Coleen’s had enough and it’s finished’ JUST ‘HARMLESS FUN’? ANOTHER baby, another scandal – Wayne Rooney is certainly a creature of habit. His wife, Coleen, is due to give birth to their fourth child in February but instead of stocking up on nappies and readying the nursery, the soccer star (31) has been spending time boozing and canoodling with another woman. You’d think he would have learnt his lesson after the first time – he was embroiled in drama seven years ago when Coleen was expecting their first baby (see box, top right). This time the former Manchester United star was reportedly “kissing and cuddling” a 29-year-old office worker and mother of one, Laura Simpson, while on a night out not far from his home in Prestbury,…

DRAWERS so full you’re scared to open them. Piles of old paperwork. Heaps of unread books. Clothes you haven’t worn in years . . . Clutter: we all know it when we see it but getting rid of it can turn out to be an impossible task. You might start out with good intentions, trying to attack it room by room, but it’s so easy to get overwhelmed and run out of stamina. Over the years Kerri Richardson, an American lifestyle designer and coach, has heard all the excuses as she’s helped thousands of clients to ditch old baggage. The reason decluttering is so hard, she explains, is because it doesn’t only challenge you physically but also psychologically – it’s seldom just a case of grabbing an unused item and…

‘Get the best possible candidate for the job’ – DR ALI BACHER NEWS of his appointment had some cricket fans scratching their heads in confusion. When Cricket South Africa (CSA) started looking for a new coach to replace Russell Domingo, whose contract recently ended, many pundits were expecting that it would be a local who’d be picked to take over the reins. But cricket bosses had a surprise up their sleeves. With a disappointing overseas tour fresh on their mind – the Proteas notched up series losses against England in all three formats of the game – CSA decided a shake-up was needed. And who better to get them back up to speed than the guy who helped mastermind the South African team’s trifecta of defeats: Ottis Gibson (48), a…

1 YOU ALREADY . . . MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH SLEEP How to boost the benefits Avoid electronics for at least 30 minutes before bedtime. There’s no denying that electronics are a part of our lives, but there are pros and cons to the connectivity it allows us 24/7. Just because you can stay engaged with the world from the comfort of your bed late into the night doesn’t mean you should. If you do, you’re exposed to the light your device emits, which promotes wakefulness and interferes with sleep. Read a book or magazine instead. And keep your bedroom as dark as possible to ensure full cycles of sleep. 2 YOU ALREADY . . . HAVE INDOOR PLANTS FOR THEIR STRESS-RELIEVING QUALITIES How to boost the benefits Touch…

Then into his life walks Ilse Brauchmann, a mysterious German in a pea-green coat.

OUR heritage includes anything that’s been carried over through generations into the present time. It might be things we can touch, such as possessions or property, or the way we think about and do things, the language we speak or the stories we tell. These are all part of our heritage. South Africans are a diverse bunch and our heritage includes many things and comes in many forms. It consists of the traditions and customs parents have taught their children through the ages, but also includes traditions that have been carried over in a community in the place where they live. People also have a national heritage – someone born in South Africa has a South African heritage as well as an African heritage because they were born on the…

HE’S been dubbed India’s guru of bling, a self-styled “saint” with an army of 60 million devoted followers. He performs his music in sold-out stadiums, stars in his own movies and promotes his own line of organic food. But for Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh (50) the good life is over. The head of the influential Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) religious group has had a spectacular fall from grace after being convicted of rape and sentenced to 20 years in prison. So great was the bearded spiritual leader’s political clout and social influence that it took Indian authorities 15 years to convict him of sexual crimes against two of his female followers. The flamboyant guru, who vehemently denied the charges, arrived for sentencing recently with a 100-vehicle convoy as tens of…

2004 Wayne confessed to Coleen that he’d visited a brothel in 2002, where he slept with a 48-year-old grandmother. Coleen, then his fiancée, was mortified but forgave him. “The truth is – and I’ve never said this before – at that time in our relationship I’d never even slept with Wayne,” she admitted a year later. Wayne also released a statement about his brothel adventures. “Foolish as it now seems, I did on occasion visit massage parlours and prostitutes,” he said. “It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I’d settled down with Coleen.” 2010 Prostitutes Jenny Thompson and Helen Wood claimed Wayne paid them for a threesome – while Coleen was five months pregnant with Kai. Jenny also said she used to meet…

‘It is not the length of life but the depth’ – AMERICAN POET RALPH WALDO EMERSON MY AUNT NEEDS ME BUT HOW CAN I DO IT? Q Life has been cruel to me. I lost both my parents when I was 10 and was then brought up by an aunt who didn’t want children and was simply fulfilling her duty to her brother. She gave me food and the material things I needed but no love or support. In fact, she loved her two dogs more than me. I paid for university with the money my parents left me and got no support from my aunt during my four years of study. I graduated and started my career in engineering and now, after 10 years, I’m well on the way…

NOT many of us are financial experts and so we need an adviser to help us manage our money. In a survey by Old Mutual, 39% of respondents said they want financial advice but it’s difficult to find someone trustworthy. Arm yourself with these questions to help you choose an adviser. Q What kind of adviser are they? There are two kinds of financial advisers: those who represent companies and only offer that company’s products and services, and independent advisers who aren’t tied to a single company. Independent advisers should be able to give you an objective opinion and a wider range of products. But your choice of adviser shouldn’t depend on whether they’re independent or not. It should be about whether they’re knowledgeable and experienced, and whether they offer…

BRING ON THE BABY GIRL! She cries at the drop of a hat these days, RACHEL KOLISI tells us. “I’m not a big crier in general but I’ve found this time I’ll cry for pretty much anything, anytime,” she says of her second pregnancy. Rachel and Springbok rugby player hubby SIYA KOLISI are thrilled they’ll be adding a baby girl to their brood, making it a pigeon pair with three-year-old son NICHOLAS. “He’s still a bit too young to fully understand what’s going on, but we’re sure he’ll be a great big brother,” Rachel says. “When I try to explain the baby’s kicking in my tummy, he holds his tummy and says, ‘My baby’s kicking me too!’ ” This pregnancy feels different to her first one, Rachel says. “I’ve put…
