Jen managed to escape from him and ran into the street What had that man done to her? We had a long wait until the trial to find out. Months on, we held Jen’s funeral at Poole Crematorium. It was a quiet family affair with a few friends, and we played Amy Winehouse’s song Valerie , which Jen loved. Jen’s beloved dogs were eventually rehomed. I couldn’t go back to work at Winchester Hospital. It was right opposite the prison where Mayne was being held on remand. I had terrible nightmares that he might be brought to the hospital for treatment. I wouldn’t have been responsible for my actions if I’d seen him face to face. In May this year, Stefan Mayne, 26, appeared at Winchester Crown Court, where he…

Then he reached out and groped my right breast Sat across from me in his local cafe, my uncle Tony’s eyes welled up. ‘We got up to some mischief together, me and your dad,’ he smiled sadly. It was March 2009, and my dad Francis, 71, had just passed away. He’d always been close to Uncle Tony, his little brother. When I was younger, Dad and I would pop over to visit, take Uncle Tony a pasty and have a chat over a cup of tea. But in January 2009, Dad had been diagnosed with lung cancer. ‘Don’t worry, it’s treatable,’ he’d reassured me. He’d had a biopsy, while doctors lined up chemotherapy and radiotherapy for him. Only, before treatment even started, a relative phoned with devastating news. Dad had…

In January 2000, Norm - a wastewater treatment worker in San Diego - found a baby floating among solid waste. After an investigation, the child was laid to rest in the Garden of Innocence. Elissa let Norm know, and he named the baby Michael. He said knowing the baby was clean, wrapped in new blankets and cared for gave him closure. Several years later, an elderly lady - Esther - came to Elissa for help. In the 1940s, she'd given birth to twins, and one, who was to be named Michael, had died. He'd been buried in an unknown spot while she was in hospital. Elissa invited Esther to a Garden of Innocence service, where she spotted Michael's headstone. She said it helped her realise her Michael wasn't lost in…

I hardly slept that night, trawling theInternet for what it might be... I’d been worried it was some creepy sea creature in there, laying eggs! An evening dip in the Bristol Channel might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But I went swimming off Newton Beach, Porthcawl, twice a week, training as a member of Newton Lifeguard Club. Even in a wetsuit, the water was chilly. So afterwards, I scrambled to the changing huts to get dressed. Hoodie on, I dashed to the car. And back home, I was straight in a hot shower. But when I stepped out… ‘Argh!’ I cried. All of a sudden, the most excruciating pain hit my right ear. I was Irish-dancing round the bathroom – I didn’t know what to do with myself! ‘Get…

Our boy was even chosen to represent Scotland! My husband Julez, 38, and I were thrilled when I fell pregnant with our first and only son Harrison in 2007. But a scan at 20 weeks revealed a problem. There wasn’t enough space in my womb for him to grow and turn, and his legs were pulled up at his sides. ‘He’ll be born breech,’ warned the midwife. But I refused to give up hope, telling myself everything would be fine. On 11 October, I gave birth to Harrison by Caesarean, and he was indeed born breech. And, at his 6-week check, Harrison was diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip. They were out of their sockets and couldn’t be popped back into place. ‘He’ll struggle to walk,’ Julez and I…

What I loved Football, Wimbledon, the Olympics - what a glorious few sporty weeks we've had! (Me? Hardly watched any of it. But it's been a joy catching up with mates in bars without a telly!) What hacked me off I'm doing some decorating at home, but applied some masking tape so badly that, when I peeled it off, the painted edge looked like a shark bite. Hopeless! What made me laugh Thinking, even for a second, that I could put wallpaper up by myself… Hope there's no sticky end to your week!…

If I didn't have faith that Meabh would live, who would? Holding my phone to my bump, I hit play and, as the music started, I began to sing along. ‘Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose…’ Peter hadn’t even flipped and flopped the fly away when my baby began kicking along! Before falling pregnant this time, I’d had three miscarriages. Each was devastating. I’d been nervous this time. But after all was well at the 12-week scan, I was full of hope. I learned I was having a girl and chose the name Meabh – meaning she who brings joy. I’d split with Meabh’s dad. But my mum Mairead, 63, and dad Joseph, 62, were so excited to be grandparents. Plus I’d got three sisters, including Naoimh,…

Plant allergy? Q After gardening, I was covered in sore, itchy purple-and-red streaks! Is it an allergy? Fiona, 51 A Sounds like plant allergy, either from sap - or plants you're allergic to, often primula, chrysanthemum or hogweed. Wash thoroughly, use steroid cream and antihistamines and cover up in the garden in future! Shooting pain QI have pain shooting down the back of my leg, which my doctor says is sciatica, caused by a back problem. How can he be sure without seeing an X-ray? Gill, 47 A Sciatica means pressure on your sciatic nerve as it comes out of the base of your spine. The nerve runs down the back of your leg, so that's where you feel the pain. An X-ray isn't likely to help as it only…

Further tests showed that the cancer had spread It was October 2011, and I was having my first mammogram after a letter had come through in the post. ‘It’s just routine,’ I’d told my husband Jon, 54. I’d made the appointment straightaway. I’d no reason to worry. I’d been lucky with my health most of my life, but I wasn’t about to start taking risks. ‘That’s all done. You should get a letter telling you the results in a couple of weeks,’ the nurse said. As soon as I’d left the hospital, I’d gone straight back to work without a second thought. So I was shocked when a letter from the hospital arrived after a few days. ‘It says I need the mammogram repeated and an ultrasound,’ I read aloud…

Be positive, please! Since the day I found out I was expecting, women have been regaling me with frightening accounts of childbirth. Yes, I realise a human has to come out of me, and I know it will hurt, but I don't need this fact emphasised by countless horror stories! I've tried to ignore them, but some have made me cry and now I feel even more nervous. I only want to hear happy tales, thank you! And I'm sure other first-time mums feel the same. Geraldine Burton, Corwen CASH WE PAY Bullies mustn’t win aydien Cunningham’s story J (Jaw-dropping makeover, 30 June issue) struck a chord with me. I was bullied at school because my ears stuck out. Then, at 16, I had them pinned backed and the bullying…

PLUS Aeroflot 811 Soft landing Aloud bang woke Larisa Savitskaya. Immediately the passenger jet she was on filled with smoke and screams. Larisa, 20, turned to her husband Vladimir, also 20. But his head had been ripped in two by flying debris. Then, the plane lurched from side to side, and broke apart. Larisa passed out. When she woke again, she was falling. Trapped inside a chunk of the broken aeroplane, still strapped to her seat. She clung on, pushed against the seat with her hands and feet to absorb the impact. Only the chunk of aeroplane hit some trees, then tumbled into marshland. A soft landing. It was 24 August 1981. Just after 4pm. Larisa and Vladimir had been on their way home from their honeymoon on Aeroflot Flight…

The woman was naked, her body partially burnt Jenevive Lancia, Claudia Tjelta, Vera Schlosseneck, Claudia Nielsen, Alexia Zarna-Merchez, Vera Jarle, Finella Lorck, Elizabeth Leen-Hoywfer… Eight names – and apparently all belonging to just one woman. But still no-one knew who she was. Her body was found on 29 November 1970 in Dodsdalen, a remote part of the Isdalen Valley in the steep Ulriken mountain range that surrounds Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city. She was naked, her body partially burnt. Strewn around her were sleeping pills, an empty bottle of spirits, and two full bottles of petrol. Each of her fingerprints had been sanded away. There was no clue to her identity. An autopsy found the woman had suffered a blow to the back of the neck and had taken several sleeping…

I watched in disbelief as they tried to resuscitate Jess Nick showed us one fantastic room after another In the garden of the house we’d just viewed, my wife Jess could barely contain her excitement. ‘It’s the one,’ she said. We were moving to the Shropshire Hills from London to bring up our daughter Lucy, then 2. We’d started looking at houses, and this white stone cottage in Hopesay village was perfect. In September 2011, we moved in. To begin with, I kept my job as a fireman in London. I’d do my shifts for the week, then drive up to Hopesay to spend my days off with Jess and Lucy. We’d go for walks in the countryside and meals at our favourite pub. The house needed work, including a…

I hated the idea of my beautiful sister selling her body They say a sister is a built-in best friend. That’s how it was for me and my big sis Jen. We’d been close since the days when we were playing with dollies in matching dresses. Like most sisters, we fought at times, but she was always a protective older sis. We faced everything together. Good times and bad. That’s how it was in early 2013. Things had been going well for Jen. She’d a steady job, a long-term boyfriend, a nice home and two Staffies – Mocha and JD – who she loved as if they were her kids. Then she was let go from work and she broke up with her boyfriend in the space of a few…

She was so sensitive, a toast crumb could cause a flare-up My daughter Amelia, 3, pushed the plate of fishfingers away. ‘Just a few bites for Mummy,’ I sighed. She pursed her lips shut tight. It was last August. Amelia usually loved fishfingers, but she’d suddenly gone off her food. ‘She’ll get over it,’ my husband Jake, 30, reassured me. I was pregnant, maybe Amelia was feeling jealous of the baby. When she did eat something, she’d complain of tummyache. But we thought it was hunger pains from not eating very much. A month later, though, Amelia started losing weight. I spoke to some friends who are mums, and they told me that it was probably just a phase. In September, I had Sebastian and Amelia adored him. But her…

In February 2003, a dead baby girl was abandoned at a hospital in San Diego. Collecting her, Elissa noticed her perfect, tiny round toes. The baby, named Jeanette, was buried in the garden. Then, 18 months on, Laura Johnson called Elissa. She'd adopted a boy - Keegan - who'd been a twin and the medical examiner thought Elissa could help her find out about the other baby. Keegan's date of birth matched Jeanette's - and he'd had the same cute little toes. At the next Garden of Innocence service, Keegan, his parents and grandparents laid a flower at Jeanette's headstone. In a letter to the Garden, Keegan's grandmother wrote, [My daughter] is relieved to know that a kind and loving person handled this last act of love.…

The only time I let loose was at Blue concerts Singing at the top of my lungs, I knew every song word for word. It was 2004, and I was at my first ever Blue concert. A huge fan, I’d even booked to meet the band backstage! Antony Costa was my favourite. When he posed for a selfie with me, I couldn’t stop blushing. ‘Great to meet you,’ he smiled. Back at home, I was walking on air. ‘I had the best time,’ I beamed to my mum Mary, 62, and dad Dave, 59. But when I looked at the photos I’d taken, I cringed with embarrassment. I looked huge next to Antony! My chubby cheeks and double chin filled most of the snap. And I knew the camera wasn’t…

After Brian's conviction, no football team would go near him THE CRIME When she was just 16, Wanetta Gibson went to the police. She told them she'd been raped by Brian Banks, one of her school classmates. At the resulting trial, it was her word against his. And the outcome would change both of their lives forever.

A friend request from Wanetta Gibson was the last thing Brian Banks had expected. Because, nearly a decade earlier, he’d been sent to prison for kidnapping and raping her. Minutes later, Wanetta replied to Brian’s message. I hope we…
