The Peggle slot is one of my favourites and I often play Sapphire Bingo, where tickets are just 10p. One evening in January, I thought I’d try a few games of bingo. I had 60p in my Woman Bingo account…

At least that’s what I used to believe, until two years ago when, on Christmas Day, my husband betrayed me – leaving me and my children when we needed him most.

But David asked me to give him a chance, so I agreed to meet him for dinner. I knew I wanted to see him again. Things moved quickly – that Christmas he got down on one knee with a beautiful diamond…
