I’ve been training my dog Daphne recently so I know it’s far from easy. But while we’ve been struggling with loose lead walking and recall, Hector the bulldog has been learning a whole new language (p19)! A big well done to him and his trainer Lucy from the RSPCA. Elsewhere this week we’ve got incredible Kia (p37) who woke up from a coma to a terrible shock, and Leigh, who got a new look after her facelift, but it wasn’t the one she expected… (p10). Plus, the mysterious murder case that happened on a plane at 36,000ft (p16). There’s puzzles, prizes, tasty BBQ recipes, swimwear style and loads more. Stay safe and well this week.…

ANIMAL PRINT STYLE TIP Look fierce in leopard, snake and zebra patterns that pack a style punch. Wear with neutral accessories. FEMININE FRILLS STYLE TIP Ruffles are great for adding volume to smaller busts and balancing out a bigger bottom half. BOLD STRIPES STYLE TIP Lines can create a slimming effect. Try vertical stripes, panels, or strokes in varying directions. FUSS-FREE STYLE TIP If you’re more of a minimalist, keep to block colours and swimsuits with added control panels for a confidence boost.…

In December 2005, Pollycarpus Priyanto was convicted of premeditated murder and forgery, jailed for 14 years. However, the judge said evidence indicated he’d not acted alone, urging police to investigate further. Munir Said Thalib’s widow continued to push for justice. Eventually, evidence emerged that Pryanto had laced Munir’s juice with arsenic while they had a drink together during the stopover at Singapore Changi Airport. It’s also now believed Pryanto was an agent for Indonesia’s state intelligence agency, placed in Garuda Indonesia airline’s corporate-security sector three months prior to Munir’s death. In August 2008, the former head of Indonesia’s intelligence agency Major-General Muchdi Purwoprandjono was charged with premeditated murder. Evidence showed phone calls between him and Priyanto on the morning of Munir’s death. However, the trial was dogged with allegations of…

Detox Some things we eat and drink do our guts no favours. Cut back on problem foods and toxins from your diet: caffeine, alcohol, processed and sugary foods, ‘bad fats’ and other foods that might cause issues personally, such as gluten and dairy. Good bacteria Introduce good bacteria like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, by eating foods such as live, natural yogurt, kefir and fermented and pickled veg. Then there are coconut products (such as oil and milk), which are also supportive to the gut wall. Pre and probiotics Eat plenty of prebiotic foods such as asparagus, leafy greens, garlic, leek and onion to help to feed the population of good bacteria – or take a probiotic supplement, available from health-food stores or pharmacies. Natural nutrients Make sure your diet includes nutrients…

Katrina Keegan, 26, Sunderland Cradling my boy as he lay groaning on the sofa, I felt sick with worry. ‘Mummy,’ Sheldon, 4, moaned, before being sick for the umpteenth time. It was November 2018, and this was unlike my boisterous boy who loved racing round the garden. Over two days, an earache had turned into a raging fever. He was refusing to eat or drink, could barely crawl off the sofa. ‘Better take him to A&E,’ I told my partner Holly, then 30. My mum Nicola, then 47, picked us up and drove us to Sunderland Royal Hospital, where doctors suspected he had meningitis. ‘This is bad,’ I gasped, terrified. Over the next few days Sheldon had blood tests, even a lumbar puncture. Seeing him in so much pain was…

Is cheating the answer? Q My husband of nine years has had difficulty getting an erection, but we thought it was probably a medication side effect. He is only 55 so I encouraged him to make a few changes to his diet and general health. He drinks a fair amount and smokes, but he tries to pack it in for a few days, then just gives up. It’s like he doesn’t care enough about me to change. My libido is slowly draining and I want to have sex with other people. I don’t feel any guilt, just pure frustration. Help, please, Nelly! Sandra, 63 A Ruddy hell fire, pet! You don’t want to have sex with other people – that is definitely your frustration talking. The reality is, you’re in…

Lucy Asquith, 20, Wakefield Looking at Hector, a huge American bulldog, I frowned. ‘Sit!’ I commanded again as he looked up with his beautiful, big brown eyes. No matter what I said – sit, stay, down – Hector just stared back blankly. Ever since he was dumped at the Leeds, Wakefield and District RSPCA, a few days earlier, it’d been the same. ‘It’s like he doesn’t understand English,’ I told my colleague. We’d discovered Hector, 1, tied to the centre gates by a metal chain. CCTV showed two men leaving him, before driving off in a car with a foreign number plate. I’d been caring for abandoned and distressed animals at the RSPCA for over a year. Hector had his tail tucked between his legs, was shaking with fear and…

A real pain in the neck Q I am in so much pain as my neck keeps hurting. I’ve tried a surgical collar, but it didn’t help! Barbara, south London A Unless a doctor advises a neck collar for a particular reason, such as a damaged spine, it’s usually best avoided as it can weaken your neck muscles and delay recovery. Often, the trigger for neck pain is quite minor, maybe a muscle or ligament sprain, but as muscles around the damaged area lock into spasm, the pain increases and spreads. To ease spasm, keep your neck gently moving, use painkillers and apply heat packs, and chances are you’ll recover within a few weeks. Pain that lasts longer or keeps returning, or symptoms such as pain down your arm mean…

Dr Paul McAndrew, Deputy Medical Director at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, said, ‘I would like to once again offer our condolences to Sheldon’s family and apologise unreservedly on behalf of the Trust for the shortcomings in the care Sheldon received. There are no words to adequately express the regret we have in the tragic loss of young Sheldon. ‘We continue to undertake widespread education of our staff about the recognition and management of sepsis. We have also made important changes should we ever need to recall any child to hospital in future. There has been, and will continue to be, much learning from this tragedy. There is nothing I can say to Sheldon’s family that will ever ease their pain, but I do want to reassure them…

Kaye Lacy, 47, Garforth Beaming at the camera, I waited for it to click. It was June 2019 and I’d booked a meal at our favourite restaurant to celebrate my birthday. ‘Let’s get a picture,’ I’d said, wanting to remember the occasion. Only, when my husband showed me the photo, I was shocked. Couldn’t stop staring at how big my arms looked in my red and blue flowery blouse. Is that really me? I thought. Not wanting to bring everyone down, I forced a smile. ‘Look at the state of me,’ I laughed. But inside, I was mortified. I’d always been on the bigger side. When I married my husband in July 2002, I wore a size-16 wedding dress. I’d felt comfortable and happy with my weight back then. But…

Q What can I do about the dark circles under my eyes? I always look tired! Susan Draper, 47, Oxford A Dark circles under the eyes are a very common problem and can be really bothersome, especially when you’ve actually had a good night’s sleep! Unfortunately, there isn’t an awful lot you can do to completely get rid of dark circles, but eye creams and concealers can certainly help. After cleansing, pat your skin dry and apply a small blob of Nivea Q10 Energy Fresh Look Eye Cream, £12.49, Superdrug, to your ring finger, then tap this around the orbital bone. The added vitamin C will brighten any dark patches and bring some radiance back to tired eyes. To conceal circles, try using a product like E.l.f. 16 Hr Camo…

Leigh Cobb, 48, Birmingham Gazing at my reflection, I winced. ‘What have I done to myself? I fretted. It was October 2014 and I was 42, but looked years older. From head to toe, my skin was wrinkled and scorched. And I only had myself to blame. Working in financial sales, I wanted to look my best in client meetings. For me, that meant a golden-brown tan. For years, I’d been obsessed with having a sun-kissed glow and went on sunbeds three times a week. I went away on loads of beach holiday, too. Had even briefly worked in Dubai, spending eight hours a day basking by the pool on days off. With my skin bronzed, I felt fantastic. But I never considered the long-term sun damage, and now my…

Danielle Griffiths, 35, Sutton Coldfield Searching for a wedding venue online, I stroked my stomach, feeling blessed. A wedding and a baby! It was January 2013, and after my partner Paul, then 34, had proposed a month earlier, we’d now found out I was pregnant. We’d met through friends six years earlier. And although we’d been relaxed about marriage and kids, it was now all happening at once. ‘Let’s book the wedding for 18 months’ time,’ I said. ‘Then our little one can be there,’ Paul beamed. Weeks later, at a friend’s BBQ, we told our loved ones our news. We were days away from our 12-week scan. Everyone was elated. But come scan day, the sonographer frowned. ‘Are you sure that you were pregnant?’ she asked. I felt my…

CUMBRIA SHOOTING RAMPAGE Early on 2 June 2010, there were reports of gunshots in the sleepy village of Frizington. Police found Kevin Commons, 60, dead. Derrick Bird was the gunman – on the run, having murdered his twin David. He’d fired 11 bullets after a row over a will. Kevin was their solicitor. Next, Bird went on a 45-mile rampage, leaving 10 dead and 11 injured. The dead included Garry Purdham, 31, Darren Rewcastle, 43, and Susan Hughes, 57. The killings ended when Bird shot himself in a wood near Boot. BODY IN THE LAKE In 1997, 21 years after she disappeared, Carol Park’s body was found in Coniston Water in the Lake District.

3 ways to... stop impulse buying If, despite your best intentions, you can’t stop spending, here’s how to get things under control… 1 Plan ahead It can be extremely tempting to buy an item on impulse if you’re shopping and spot something that you fancy, but didn’t intend to get. To avoid this, always make a list of what you need before heading out – and make sure you stick to it! Similarly, with online shopping, decide on what you need to buy before visiting a retailer’s site.
