Jamie Styles, 28, London I squealed as my grandad threw me up into the air, twirling me around. At just 6, I adored Anthony Rooks, then 54. Was never happier than when he’d put his favourite Caribbean music on and we’d have a boogie. The flat he shared with my nanny Shirley was like my second home. Whenever I stayed over, we always had the most fun. Saturdays were for dancing and on Sunday we’d traipse around the local market, picking flowers for Nanny. Then he’d tell me how they fell in love. ‘It was Easter Sunday and we were in a club,’ he’d begin with a smile. He was so devoted to her and their family. Whenever I was upset, he’d try his best to cheer me up. Disappearing…

Life was going well for Fedonta ‘JB’ White. A 6ft 8in star athlete at just 18 years old, he had graduated from high school a year early. The young sportsman was planning to play basketball for the University of New Mexico of Santa Fe County. So when he went to a house party in August 2020, just days from moving away and joining his new team, he must have been looking forward to celebrating. But the party turned out to be anything but fun. There, JB and another party guest Estevan Montoya, then 16, became locked in an altercation which ended in bloodshed. JB’s. As the two argued, a chase took place, with JB in pursuit of Estevan. Only Estevan pulled out a gun and shot JB in the chest,…

Why do I bleed after running? Q After a long run, there’s blood in my wee. My doctor checked and told me it’s normal, but how can that be? Claudia, Newham A Sounds like exercise-induced haematuria, blood in your wee after strenuous exercise. It’s fairly common and is generally harmless, although you’re right to check with your doctor to rule out other causes. When you’re exercising very hard your body reduces blood flow to your kidneys in order to send more blood and oxygen to your muscles. This deprives your kidneys of blood and temporarily damages them, making them liable to leak red blood cells into your urine. In contact sports, where you’re bashing into people, bladder or kidney injury can also be to blame. The blood might take up…

He chooses gaming over me Q My partner is constantly playing games online with his friends. They have a WhatsApp group and chat from morning until night. We have no conversation or time together because he is constantly looking at his phone – it’s like I’m on my own in our house. We have a child, so I don’t really want to break my family up, but I cannot stand feeling lonely any more. Amber, 25 A Oh love, it’s time to know your worth. It’s not a big ask to want meaningful time together in a relationship. Given the amount of time your man’s spending gaming and talking to friends, this is obviously going to make you feel resentful. Spell out exactly how this makes you feel. If he’s…

Jessica Gagen, 26, Liverpool Sitting in the drama classroom as everyone got into pairs, I frantically looked for a partner. Odd one out again, I sighed. ‘Right, Jess, you’re with me,’ my drama teacher smiled. It was the same old story. I was 12, and ever since I’d started secondary school the year before, in 2007, I’d been left out and picked on. I was tall for my age, with bright coppery hair, glasses and braces, and the other kids relentlessly made fun of my appearance. Things had been fine in primary school, but now, in high school, I found myself struggling to make friends. I tried not to let it get to me, but sometimes the nasty comments stuck. They would call me ugly, and say I’d never find…

LETTER of the week! Q How can I keep my blonde coloured hair looking its best? Evelyn Ross, Hounslow A They say blondes have more fun, but it requires a little extra love to help keep your golden locks looking healthy and fresh. The colouring process can strip the hair of oils and leave it more prone to breakage, but a shampoo like Bleach London Reincarnation Shampoo, £10, bleachlondon.com, uses the hair-loving ingredient creatine to nurse your strands back to their healthiest selves. It’s also worth investing in a pre-wash treatment such as Revolution Haircare Blonde Plex 3 Bond Restore Treatment, £15, lookfantastic.com. It contains a blend of conditioning ingredients to restore a silky swish to your locks and neutralises yellow tones leaving your colour bright. To prolong that fresh-out-of-the-salon…

Spot the difference! My 4-year-old daughter Kitty does an impressive Elton John impersonation. Andrea Evans, Ruthin It’s a shame my mum Angela, 57, gets seasick easily, because she certainly looks the part here as a member of the RNLI lifeboat crew! Claire Codling, Halifax While on holiday on the Isle of Wight, my doggy Ozzy was excited to celebrate his first birthday! Kate Davis, Havant Never again! We convinced our daughter Fleur, 6, to join us on the log flume at Paulton Park in Hampshire, but she wasn’t a fan of the splash landing!

After a day of deliberating, the jury returned to the courtroom and announced they found Montoya guilty of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, unlawful possession of a handgun by a minor, and negligent use of a deadly weapon. Before his sentence was read out, Montoya apologised to JB’s family. ‘I wish things could have been different. But no matter what I say, no matter what I do, I realise I cannot change what happened that night.’ However, the family urged District Judge T Glenn Ellington to give their loved one’s killer the maximum sentence. And on 22 June 2022, that was exactly what he did when he handed 18-year-old Montoya a life sentence, with a minimum of 30 years in prison before he can apply for parole. Because he was…

1 Go hot and cold For backache, physio Tim Allardyce advises alternating between heat and ice on the painful area. ‘Keep switching every five minutes until the pain stops,’ he says. Cold treatments numb the area, heat relaxes it. Pop a wheat bag in the microwave for no longer than 1-2 minutes and press against the sore spot (make sure it’s not too hot), or wrap a bag of frozen peas in a towel and hold it against the area. 2 Say yes to sex! Sex can be more effective than painkillers. More than half of migraine sufferers say their symptoms improve after getting frisky, while one in five experience complete relief afterwards, found neurologists from the University of Münster. 3 Make a spicy brew Drinking ginger and turmeric tea…

Mary Newlands, 37, Kirkcaldy The tears spilled down my cheeks as I listened to the voice of Ronan Keating singing If Tomorrow Never Comes. One of Mum’s – Eileen McClean – favourite songs. Mum had always liked Irish singers and we’d chosen it to play at her cremation service. As I listened to Ronan’s voice, my mind went back to my childhood, remembering Christmas in 1997 when I was 12 and Mum had bought a computer racing game – Gran Turismo – for the four of us kids. Only she became addicted to it, not us! I smiled at the memory, shifted in the chapel seat at Kirkcaldy Crematorium in November 2020, as the minister read out what Mum’s six grandchildren had written about her. Sewed on all the badges…

By then I was in Year 9 and at 14, I swapped glasses for contacts and no longer needed braces. I made a small group of friends, who nicknamed me ‘Ginge’, which annoyed me at first, but I soon embraced it, finally feeling like I belonged. ‘I want to try modelling,’ I told my mum and dad. We started looking into agencies, found one in Manchester that seemed legitimate – and they snapped me up. Before I knew it, I was off on photo shoots. Posing in front of the camera, I finally felt proud of my looks. I tried to keep my double life quiet at school, but before long classmates spotted my pics online. No hiding in the background any more. Balancing modelling with school work, I achieved…

Jennifer Bradshaw, 28, Bradford Clutching the piece of paper in my hand, I whooped with delight. ‘I did it!’ I smiled, grateful for my new-found freedom. It was February 2014 and I’d just passed my driving test. Soon, I got my first car – a second-hand silver Vauxhall Corsa. It made life so much easier, as I drove to work as a nursery nurse instead of taking the bus. Went out with friends, giving them a lift if they needed one. A confident driver, I never had any issues. Years passed and driving became second nature. No serious accidents or fender benders. Then, in the summer of 2020, I started getting headaches, which progressively got worse. I was scared, worried something was wrong. But at the docs, the GP told…

It was a crisp autumn day when Karla Van Dusen phoned her mother for the last time. Karla, 49, told her mum that she was on the road in Tampa, Florida. She was driving her Jeep Cherokee behind her husband Richard, 58, who was at the wheel of the couple’s 1971 red Chevrolet Cheyenne pickup truck. Richard had been in the process of selling the vintage truck. He’d listed it for sale in the local paper for $13,700. Now, on the phone, Karla told her mum that Richard had a potential buyer. From the sounds of it, the sale was going ahead. Great news. The Van Dusens led busy lives. They were loving parents. Richard would organise family picnics and loved working on cars. Karla was a fun mum who…

VICTORIA STEVEN, 39, FROM GLASGOW, SAYS: Our Mary’s Meals supporter Ellison Hudson is a real local hero. Great-grandmother Ellison, 84, from Bridge of Allan, started supporting Mary’s Meals after coming across the charity feeding children at a school in Malawi, where she was visiting her daughter. Feeling inspired, she wanted to raise money for Mary’s Meals herself. In 2018 she cycled from Helensburgh to Dunbar over six days, raising £1,353. Then, in May this year, she got back on her saddle to pedal 84 miles for her 84th birthday. She managed it within a week, despite suffering from a stroke two years ago. So far, the challenge has raised over £870! She hopes to raise enough to feed 100 children. With Mary’s Meals, it costs just £15.90 to feed one…

Strain and add ice cubes before serving for a refreshing summer drink. Maggie Cobbett, Ripon, North Yorkshire Manicured Getting shellac or gel nails can get expensive. When they start to grow out, I add colourful dots of polish at the base. Not only does this jazz up your nails, but it gives them an extra week of wear, too! Stacey Elliott, Sherwood, Nottingham Egg-cellent suggestion I keep my nail varnish on a tray, but have just realised that if I stand them in an egg box with the lid shut, they stay upright perfectly.

Jordan Foster, 31, The Wirral Lacing up my trainers, I set off on my fourth run of the week. It was late 2017 and I’d always been super-active, often running marathons and racking up 50 miles each week. I watched what I ate and carefully measured my food. But while on the outside I seemed the epitome of health and fitness, something wasn’t right. Having been on birth control for almost 10 years, I’d recently stopped taking it. Wanted to try non-hormonal options. Only, after a few months, I still wasn’t having periods – a condition known as amenorrhea. I knew it could take a while for my body to adjust, so I wasn’t too worried. But my partner at the time was a physiotherapist. ‘It’s not normal you’re not…
