1. Dear Jane, Since I started getting into yoga I’ve found myself wanting to change how I eat. My family think I have joined a cult because I refuse to eat meat any more. What can I do to convince them that I can be perfectly healthy without eating chicken nuggets? Yours in veganism, Sophie…

1. I am wondering if you could help me be more ordered inside my draws? Any practical solutions would be greatly received. You see I love order on the outside, but when I open the cupboards and draws everything is just stuffed in (shocking, I know!). My socks keep going missing and then I go…

1. What’s the deal with email etiquette when you’re getting something for free? You say please and thank you, you little cretin.
