Inspiring ideas from Emma Beddington (Somehow, it is still January. Here are my nine wellness-free survival tips, 20 January), but has she considered dipping a toe into one of the many online groups? How about Make Your Own Breastmilk Jewellery, the Bathtubs in Fields Appreciation Group or, perhaps closer to home, York Drunken Knitwits?
