What does 'family' mean to you?
I've had a strange life really. Like something off of Eastenders I suppose. This has turned into a long one but I need to get some stuff off my chest, as you will see when you read I do not really have anyone else to speak to. The short of it is that my family have never really been 'there' for me during my life - mum was…

Normally it's because I don't like being invited to someone's house when they barely know me just so they can make some money from me. And I'm not really a woman who browses in shops or impulse buys. I only buy what I…
