Home Alone?Former model Sam Home, 25, looked warm in a grey jumper with red trim, dark blue jeans and Christian Louboutin knee-high boots as she was seen shopping in Knightsbridge. But she was not wearing the sparkling diamond ring that soap star Terry Prince had given her last October. Sam looks as fabulous as ever. How does she do it? “I eat lots of fruit, which I adore, and several types of vegetable a day,” she said. “I eat meat once a week, which I look forward to, but nothing can beat a pizza. But I’m not a diet fanatic. I’m glad that I don’t have to keep my weight at fifty kilos any longer. At sixty, maybe I’m a bit overweight now. Fifty-eight is right for my height, but I don’t really care any longer.” If you want to know anything about nutrition, Sam is the person to ask. After all, she has a degree in it. But she plans to study marketing at South Bank University. “I am working in a communications agency as a secretary, but the work I can do is limited. With a degree in marketing, I’ll be able to have a job as a manager.” “I get to work at eight and never leave before seven in the evening. So I spend my weekends doing chores, and if I have any time left over I read. And I watch television to send me to sleep.” Asked about Terry Prince, Sam said “No comment.” It seems Sam has no time for a romantic relationship these days.Job: secretaryGraduated in: nutritionWeight (in kilos): 60Hobby: readingFavourite food: pizza Match each message and its meaning.1 The date was fine but he has no interest in seeing her again.

It’s nothing like the movie, which was boring and didn’t impress me at all. I can’t say I was surprised about the end, but still, I have to wear sunglasses because I’ve been crying all night. I’ve never been so affected by written words in my life. CathyHow does Cathy feel about the book she has read? Disappointed Surprised Moved Hi Timothy, I’ve been a month in my new job.
