OK I admit it - I am DEEPLY ashamed that I haven't updated my blog for what is nearly a year - I can't believe it's that long and I feel pathetic...grovel grovel...

What news? Well I'm still writing my columns in NOW and YOURS magazines, I've lost a stone (YEE-HI!) I'm doing lots of presenting as well as being back on The Alan T Show, have spoken on two cruises this year, and I'm really enjoying being a regular guest on the brilliant Steve Allen's Show on LBC. It's been a great year for catching up with treasured friends and spending more time with my beautiful daughter Kate, and I have discovered a fantastic osteopath (Nick Potter in Harley St) who has not only sorted my back out (all that hunching over the computer, trying to meet deadlines) but he's also managed to stop my lifelong appalling habit of snoring!! (which is such seriously good news that I can actually admit I used to, because now I don't - if you see what I mean...) My husband Patrick can't quite believe the tiny feminine sigh's that are my only nightly utterance - he is such a happy man!

Still clearing my clutter (how the hell have I managed to accumulate such an enormous amount of junk?!?) but I'm finally winning the battle. I'm really missing acting at the mo, but there's something very exciting on the horizon - finger's crossed - everything crossed in fact - and I'll keep you posted (PROMISE!)

Love and more grovels,

Julie xx
