By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  We all dream of being well on the path to achieving our life goals at 30, but what does 'reality' really look like? Cast your minds back to how you dreamed of adulthood as a child. A fancy car, fancy job and stacks of cash is usually how we picture our grown-up selves as a child, but the reality is often far more mundane. According to new research the average 30-something prefers Oasis to Blur, drives...

Single Dennis Dx, 31 from Nottingham is currently TV extra who has appeared on Eastenders, Holby City and Shameless. I used to be a project manager for a charity called the Project it was to build self esteem in young people especially BME groups, which is ironic as I started taking illegal substances to make myself feel and look better. I began taking steroids in 2002 when I was 19, my gym partner was taking them and he was getting...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  New research has revealed the average British mum carries out up to 59 different tasks every single school day. The study found the average school mum leaps out of bed by 06:38am in a bid to get ahead of the daily tasks before the rest of the family wakes. Prior to the morning school run busy mums will make and serve breakfast, pack the school and work bags, apply necessary creams and medicines, remind the children to wash,...

A report has said that the flu virus was the major cause of the rise and most of the deaths involved people who are over 75. One of the reasons why so many people died due to the flu virus, is because the vaccine was less effective than previous years. There were more...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  We all know that having children dramatically alters your life, but what effect does it have on your relationship? New research has revealed that new parents have less quality time together, go on fewer date nights and say ‘I love you’ less often than before they had children – but still manage to maintain their sex lives. After starting a family, parents admit they also kissed their partner less often, went on fewer nights out with...

By Steve Taggart A slightly sniffy article in the Guardian last week declared that the fundraising campaign Movember’s growth cycle was in decline. It claimed that last year UK Movember raised £3 million pounds less than the previous year and argued that many men now already sport some sort of facial hair. But despite describing the campaign as ‘awful’ the Guardian conceded that often-ignored male health issues had benefitted hugely from a raised profile and millions of pounds. If Movember started...

Christmas is traditionally a time spent celebrating with friends and family, exchanging gifts and having fun. For the 500,000 older people expected to spend Christmas alone, however, Christmas isn’t such a joyful occasion. Loneliness is a growing issue for the older population - at Christmas and all year round. Last year Friends of the Elderly launched its Future of Loneliness report, which found that over five million older people in the UK are affected by loneliness, with more than a million...

By Sam Webb As urban populations grow, people living in cities have gradually begun to feel disconnected to nature. With the already limited available space shrinking before our eyes, opportunities for gardening in cramped urban environments have become increasingly sort after. This has led to a plethora of products; from high-tech hydroponics to magnetic plant pots – all based around the same motivation, to grow plants, herbs and food in even the smallest of spaces. Cafédirect Producers’ Foundation (CPF), is...
