At the dinner table, I leaned over and whispered urgently to Kate, our host, "Smells like something burning." A bit startled, she got up and went into the kitchen to check.

Many years ago, when I was living in circumstances not quite like today, I invented something in the spur of the moment which is fascinating and has significantly improved my life. It actually started four months earlier, for my birthday in fact. I had wanted to buy something very esoteric for me - a personal development tape set about wealth and success; but it was massively expensive and although my husband didn't exactly beat me with sticks on a daily basis, there would have been NO WAY ...
