In the summer, Becky (29) broke up with her partner of 4 years and, although for us it was lovely to have her at home again for a prolonged period of time, she had a traumatic few weeks. She is now living in Leyton in a flat which she has bought along with an old school friend. 

She works for a company who supply clothes to high street shops such as debenhams and Top Shop.You’ll have seen Malc modelling some of the pre-production samples! 

Recently she’s had her car broken into twice. Nothing stolen, just damage and a large pointless waste of time and money.

Steve (27) settled into a job with a firm of architects in Reading. 

Not doing graphic design, but at least earning money!

He’s ended the year buying a new car. 

 Dad really would love a 2 litre 306 Xsi, but has to pretend to prefer a Lucida. C’est la vie! 

She attends two day centres during the week as well as helping at the women's centre at Wesley Methodist Church on Wednesdays

She has, to her credit, lost a fair bit of weight over the last few months which has to be good for her.
