As a student, I used to house-sit. Once, I looked after a dog that broke through two stair gates, got upstairs, into a suitcase and ate a packet of contraceptive pills. Thankfully, I was on the kind that aren't toxic to dogs. Even so, it required an emergency vet visit and a long phone call to the poison centre to find this out. I stopped pet-sitting after that. The sitter wouldn't wake up- Natalie, 40, business owner We had a bit of a disaster on our first holiday after getting a dog.

It's the question that haunts so many break-ups: should we get back together? Maybe, you tell yourself, it would have worked if the timing was different. Maybe, you've both changed. Studies suggest as many as a third of couples give it another shot – but few stay the course.

I have always loved a bargain, whether it’s a doer-upper house I can fantasise about on Rightmove or a Boden dress for £1 in the local charity shop. But when it comes to the spiralling cost of food, it’s getting harder to eat cheaply – particularly if, like me, you love good food more than anything else. That’s why in the past few years, due to my champagne-truffle-tastes-on-my-Ruffles-crisps income, I’ve made it my mission to study how to eat like a foodie on a fish-finger budget.

Almost 10 years ago when I was 45, I arrived in the West Highlands of Scotland to live with the man who’s now my husband. The move was partly due to the insane cost of renting a house in Manchester – my son had long flown the nest, and working from home, as a freelance writer and editor, I didn’t need to live within commuting distance of a huge city. I knew I’d save money as a result, but I didn’t expect I’d find myself spending a fraction of what I used to on food, clothes and random expenses.
