Summary

Elizabeth and Mel get into the exciting, terrifying and sometimes overwhelming world of how on earth to meet someone. We discuss online dating and IRL encounters and how to navigate it all without losing our self-esteem. Our guest this week is the brilliant Sharmaine Lovegrove, whom many of you might already know as one of the hosts of our previous podclass, How To Write A Book. Sharmaine went through a marital separation in her early 40s and threw herself into the apps. She joins us to share her many anecdotes and first-hand accounts of dating/meeting people post-break-up. Plus: what it means to attract what you put out into the world and how to stay resilient when facing the rejection that is an inevitable part of dating. After you’ve listened, you can get all the resources and worksheets discussed at www.thepodclass.co.uk Mel and Elizabeth are on a mission to revolutionise the world of dating! We want to make it a safe, fun and rewarding experience for everyone.

Well, Morrison's are on a mission to make Valentine's Day more personal and easier to. Get advice from the Morrison's market street experts, how to get the best from their fresh produce, and services like filleting

0:29.3	the way. Yes, every day's a school day. I don't know that either. All of it makes Valentine's
0:34.1	perfect for that special person. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? This Valentine's at
0:39.7	Morisons, you can get 25% off when you buy six or more bottles of wine, including champagne
0:46.3	and prosceco, with your Moore card. Go ahead and choose your favourite tipple. I mean 25% of six
0:53.7	bottles of champagne, that's a bit of me. More card

1:37.5	when it can seem like it's all about us women.
1:39.7	It says here that Bloom and Wilde have put together their range full of carefully created gift ideas
1:45.1	from hand-picked brands and small makers. So that's perfect for you, Elizabeth. And if you can't
