I never wanted to be a playwright.
Love's a weird one, isn't it? I've never told my husband Graham that I love him. He's never told me either. I think it started as a bit of a joke. We just decided never to say it.
Don’t stretch yourself too much with a mortgage. Buy within your means. It’s not worth the sleepless nights.

Positive things happen to positive people.
Energy efficiency should be on the priority list for all home improvement work these days. Canny builders will be able to provide homeowners with energy efficient measures which help them to save money and the planet.

There was no room for people who are decent but economically beleaguered to maybe want to support him.
I also go on long walks with my dog, a golden retriever named Breeze-and I work out with weights at a health club a couple of times a week.
