Can you help - I'm seeking UK based women, aged 40+, who have broken a WORLD RECORD - ideally not sport related. It's for a lovely positive piece in a women's weekly magazine. They will need to be named & pictured & ideally not done too much press previously! #journorequest #PRerequest

This is an evergreen call for pitches - and it is a great one for writers without major bylines. Please share with the bartenders, delivery drivers, cater waiters in your life

Just booked for my teen daughter and her friend to go ice-skating at the weekend - it's cost almost Β£40 for two of them!!!!! I'm speechless - I know costs are rising for everything, but this just seems a little excessive?!? Or is it just me?

Hi Linda, thanks for the message, so sorry for the delay in replying! I have been inundated for this one, and already have several people offering to discuss the same fear, so it is a no this time, but I do appreciate you taking the time to get in touch. Happy New Year to you! All the best for 2025

If you were afraid to do it before? I don't see why not. How can I send you some more info relating to what it is I'm working on?

It's amazing what rabbit holes researching a children's book will take you down. I have just learnt the collective noun for crane flies is a tipulidae! #whoknew

Was not prepared for the cold this morning! Car door frozen shut - but thankfully my super strong 14yo daughter managed to prize it open! 🀣

To be honest, I don't really use any of them other than to find case studies for articles, but yes, it's all getting a bit toxic on the other side!
