Elsie-Rae always fancied having Double D's and that's exactly what she got after her boyfriend Ben dumped her, since that night in McDonald's car park her life has been one disaster and dilemma after another.
Now, she must learn to live her...

I should be on my way to India by now, but I'm not and it's all my mum's fault, she's the reason that I missed my flight; okay, so maybe I did neglect the fact that I needed a visa to get into India but that's beside the point.
She must have a sixth sense or something because it wasn't even as if I'd told her about my plans to flee the country, but when I went downstairs mid-morning yesterday, she was sat at the breakfast bar — the kettle was boiling and she had a box of Maltesers, and they're my absolute faves.
"Have you got five minutes love?" she said to me with a smile.
And I wanted to tell her that no I didn't have five minutes, in fact, I barely had any time at all, I needed to pack. Thanks to lastminutesdeals.com I had less than twelve hours until my flight. But she put her arm around my shoulders, sat me down and placed a cup of tea and the chocolates in front of me, how could I say no?
"How are you love? I know things have been a bit tough lately, but they'll get better, it always does."
"I'm fine. Honestly, I'm fine." I didn't want to have a heart to heart with my mum, firstly because I would probably end up bloody crying again, and I'd already cried enough — more importantly, though I had a flight to catch. But still, I sat with my mum in the kitchen talking about everything, well almost everything.
"Let's get a takeaway tonight, and I got you some new pyjamas upstairs - I know how you love new pyjamas," my mum said.
Eating my Chinese takeaway while wearing my fluffy new pyjamas I knew everything would be okay because doing this kind of thing when I was a kid always made everything okay again. Even at that point, I was still convinced that I would be leaving for India — I would be starting a new life; I would be spending six or maybe twelve months travelling and on a journey of self-discovery, broadening my horizons and becoming a better me.
And then I missed my flight

I had to drag myself back into work today, Aaron wasn't exactly surprised to see me walking through the door. Maybe he's right though; maybe I don't have to leave town. Getting wasted and snogging Shaun isn't exactly the end of the world; it's not going to ruin my life — mainly because Ben has already done that.
