Would you give your old flame's jewellery to your new love?

DON'T you just love surveys carried out by PR departments? One latest piece of such research tells us that one in four people in the UK would lavish their current partner with jewellery originally splashed out on for a former love.

Charming. The good news is that apparently, three quarters of us, erm wouldn't.

The poll of "almost" 2,000 (well 1,904) people was carried out by Bloom & Co, a jewellery repair and remodelling service.

Media request: Amicably separated couples who went through mediation or counselling

DEBORAH Dooley is looking for UK couples, aged up to into their 40s, with children aged around 11 or under who can talk to her about their experience of counselling/mediation and how this helped lead to an amicable divorce or separation.

There is a fee of £250 for those taking part. Deborah would need to speak to both ex partners, but most of the interview would be with the mum and they would need to be photographed. It's for a women's weekly magazine and the deadline is the last week of September. Please email me if you think you may be able to help.
