Born and bred in south London, I was thrilled when this Victorian terraced property came onto the market on one of my preferred streets,’ says Deborah. ‘It wasn’t exactly love at first sight – the whole property was in a state of disrepair from top to bottom, and the rooms had an odd smell from not being used in some time. But it was on the market at a good price and I could see that, with lots of hard work, the potential was there to turn it back into a characterful family home.’ New layout With the sale taking quite some time to go through, as I had to wait for power of attorney to be granted for the 95-year-old owner, I had plenty of time to think about…

MEET WOMAN’S VET EMMA MARCHINGTON At the moment, money is on everyone’s mind. So how can you minimise the costs of pet ownership without compromising on care? I’m going to share a few ideas on how to save, while still giving beloved pets the quality they deserve. One big expense for many dog and cat owners is grooming. This isn’t just vanity; it’s important for the welfare of certain breeds. Animals with furry faces need hair trimming out of their eyes. Hair in-between toes can knot up, too. Some breeds of cat can end up with sore, knotted coats if not properly groomed as well. ‘Consider learning to groom your pet yourself’ You might consider learning to groom your pet yourself. This isn’t the answer for everyone though, as it’s…

Midway through a session with a small group of prisoners, Kyle, who’d been convicted of serious sexual offences, shoved his chair back so it clattered against the wall. He glared at me, yelled that he’d had enough and lurched forward. I shrank back but he was so close to me that as he shouted I could see right inside his mouth. The prison officer in the room immediately stood up to defend me, but three other prisoners were quicker and one of them got physically between me and Kyle, pushing him aside. Kyle fled the room with the prison officer following, leaving me alone with five other sexual offenders. Three of them had just protected me, but I still wouldn’t dare turn my back to write on the flip chart.…

Your partner isn’t ready to commit to a new permanent relationship because he’s only just out of his old permanent relationship. Plus, his new friends have reminded him of the joys of…

THEMONEYEDIT.COM’S KALPANA FITZPATRICK WILL SAVE YOU £££s This month sees household budgets being squeezed harder as energy bills rise by around 27%, taking the average typical use to £2,500.

A QUESTION OF WHY? There were howls of protest when much-loved sports star turned broadcaster Sue Barker was shunted off A Question Of Sport, after 24 years in the job. In their never-ending quest to attract younger viewers away from TikTok, BBC bosses have literally managed to wreck their own show. And now Sue, 66, has dropped strong hints that – just like the viewers – she’s not keen on the new version of the quiz, fronted by comic entertainer Paddy McGuinness. Writing in her newly released memoir, Calling The Shots, she reveals that she also isn’t a fan of non-sporting celebs being invited on as guests, something she ‘fought for years’ to block during her tenure as host. The tennis ace marvels, ‘It amazes me the BBC don’t think…
