9 things we blame the changing weather for
Ravening Hunger - The moment it’s jumper-not-coat weather, our jeans sigh with relief in anticipation of ‘salad mode’, rather than just-ate-the-fridge mode. We shake off the cheese and it becomes all about seeds and raw kale and emergency flossing. Except. Just the vaguest hint of a cold front moving in and our hibernation muscle memory rears up, then… BOOM. We are all ‘bring me the pasta and the steak and the cheese now, please’.

I was a gifted child - then became a survivor of domestic abuse
As a young girl, I was considered a gifted child. I won a scholarship for private education at one of the country’s top schools at the age of 11. It was incredible for my family, none of whom had been to university. They were astonished at the educational establishments I kept finding myself within. No one would ever have thought I could become a victim of domestic abuse.

Why won't the Government support rape victims like me?
When I was 23 and travelling through Malaysia, I was repeatedly raped by a stranger. I was unconscious when the man first assaulted me, and when I was conscious I said no countless times. But he kept on telling me how much he could hurt me, and raped me throughout the night. As soon as I was safe I reported the crime, but my attacker has never been caught.

Women are crucial to realising the power of Britain's modern military
International Women’s Day this year is a particularly poignant one for the UK’s Armed Forces. 2019 marks the first time the Army, Navy, and Royal Air Force have been made entirely open to employing women, following a complete lifting of the ban excluding their serving on the ground in close combat roles late last year. As a result, employment in the military will, for the first time in its history, be determined by ability alone and not gender.

I went to the shops and never came back - this is what it feels like to leave your children
In late December 2010, I popped to our local newsagent with the intention of getting my kids, then 14 and 16, a sweet called Toxic Waste – a luridly coloured, mouth-dyeing concoction that came in a small plastic waste bin. I write ‘popped,’ but mean ‘staggered’; I write ‘intention’ but mean ‘confabulation’ – for they had last knowingly eaten the stuff aged eight and ten. I couldn’t remember that since I had been under a self-induced chemical cosh of Valium and vodka for many years. The main Toxic Waste in the family was me.
