EXCLUSIVE BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA: The latest graduate of Southampton's famed academy, Will Smallbone will not forget 2020 in a hurry after his dream, goal-scoring full debut in the FA Cup.

I'm feeling a little bit tearful. It must be the time of year: almost Christmas, and being female we all want it to be perfect, when it's far from that

It wasn't quite an annus horribilis, as the Queen would say. Not like 2014. And 2015. And 2016. And, oh yes, 2017 and 2018

Some days, I should just never get out of bed. Take last Wednesday. I took delivery of a load of flagstones for the ground floor of my cottage...

You know I said last week that I wouldn't get angry? Want to know how that's going?

David brought me a pot of coffee in bed on Christmas morning. When I came downstairs, three small parcels were on my desk

I now have two engagement rings. Let me explain. The gold ring David gave me on Christmas Day wouldn't go over my knuckle so he insisted we go to a local jeweller to get it resized

On Friday afternoon I picked up my resized platinum and diamond engagement ring. I realise I'm the victim of several thousand years' worth of oppression because I keep admiring how it looks

Now that we are officially engaged, and with David wanting to talk things through in person, I suggested meeting at the organic pub in Islington

Oh dear. The platinum and diamond engagement ring has come off and is now sitting in its little box in my chest of drawers

Grrrr!!! Gahhhaaahhha! David went to see the flat in Notting Hill that I was thinking of renting, but not with any good grace, viz: 'I will view it for you, given you say I have no job.'

A strangely conflicted, confusing week. Having tried to return the engagement ring to the jeweller and failed, I texted David to try to make us work

Oh dear God. I have finally reached rock bottom. You thought it was bad when my husband cheated or I lost my home or David failed to take out the the trash?

I know I said last week that it's how nice you are inside that shows on your face. But as I contemplate flying to Sydney to meet the Hunk, I've been reconsidering that sentiment

I'm in Paris for the fashion shows. This isn't a sentence I thought I would ever write again, but two or three designers invited me.

You can tell a lot about someone's psyche by looking at their search history. Here's mine. On just one day, I searched 124 sites.

I've just realised that I should be loving being single. I am growing a beard.

Can you imagine. You have just had a row with your boyfriend, he has flounced out to drive back to London, and suddenly you are told you cannot leave your house?

I finally caved and sent David a light, friendly text. We should all be reaching out, shouldn't we?

I woke at 3am last night, could not get back to sleep. Thought my throat was itchy. No nice thoughts to comfort myself with

I've been thinking, over the past few days, about failure. Sometimes, something happens to throw your life into stark relief
