The past couple of days haven’t gone to plan. Valentines Day and Samuel was in A&E then yesterday it ended up being me. I’ve had a very sharp stabbing pain in my back which has been making it challenging to take a deep breath and I woke up yesterday morning hardly able to breathe due

I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day but I get asked a lot about my relationship and thought this was the best time to mention it. I first met Samuel five and a half years ago after deciding to try doing some online dating. To be honest I didn’t really have a choice as
