"I stopped doing physio once I left home at eighteen and have been a sedentary fitness-phobe ever sin..." — Liz Carr

Whilst many brides have dreamt about their wedding dress since childhood, I've had nightmares about having to wear children's clothes on my big day.

Some women brag about still being able to fit into their wedding dress. Well, I can still fit into my Brownie uniform.

As a teen, I never went on holiday, because all my summers were spent in hospital. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the hospital in question was in Slough.

Yes, there was one thing that I missed not being able to do - walk on a beach. I've always had this romantic image of walking along a beach, the sea lapping at my ankles, hand in hand with my lover, both of us smiling and wearing white flowing clothing as the sun sets in the background.
