EARLIER this year I wrote about the pain of losing a dog. The empty house, and the loss of routine, once that treasured friend disappears forever.Read

A STUPID, shallow mother has tried to defend allowing her daughter to undergo botox injections. What a stark reflection on the vacuous image- obsessed society in which we all reside. Read
