I don't understand why any couple would stay together for the sake of grandchildren, but there must be loads of couples who still stop together for financial reasons, or out of habit.

Only today I had a good laugh at myself - I bought a bacon sandwich and didn't eat one half. I had it unopened in my bag and spotted a skinny young girl sitting on a step with her dog. "Would you...

Sadly I've got no practical skills whatsoever, I'm not only impatient but clumsy too (I put it down to being left handed). The only thing I can do is write, which is no use to anyone.
