Two months ago my doctor told me I needed to eat less salt. Before then I put a spoonful of salt on almost everything I ate. I thought food was tasteless without it. At first it was difficult but now whenever I eat out, I feel the food tastes too salty.

We’ve got a new baby. Just two weeks old. We love him very much but he doesn’t sleep through the night. We used to have at least seven hours’ sleep. Now we’re lucky if we get two hours before he wakes up. We used to stay in bed until mid-morning at the weekend, but now we don’t have a weekend anymore.

I’ve just started my first job after university and life is not so nice. At university I got up at about nine o’clock and now I have to start work then, I used to work when I felt like working. But now, my boss says when I should work and when I can have a break.

My family moved to Canada earlier this year and we’ve found it difficult to adapt to the cold winters. We used to live in New Mexico, USA where the winters weren’t so cold, The best piece of advice I was given was to buy a very warm coat and hat!
