Having been a long term reader of the Guardian’s advice page, I recently noticed that it’s taken a decided downhill turn. Even the juicy ones are rubbish.
Lately I find myself thinking ‘I could give better advice than that!’ and thus, I have made it a reality.
Looking into it, I was shocked to discover that Mariella Frostrup has indeed hung up her laptop and quit after 20 years of doling out opinions on how to make your life a bit less shit, and so I have decided to fill the void.
If you are in a pickle, a quandary or just want an ear to bend, then send me your worries, woes and whinges and let Aunty Fran fix it for you. Or at the very least, laugh a bit.
Submit your problems (anonymously, of course). I’ll try to get to them at some point. Don’t send mean shit, or I’ll cry.
I am not a trained psychotherapist, obviously, My own life is an absolute shambles and any advice given will be for entertainment purposes only. So nothing serious please, because I am NOT qualified for that shit.
Go on, submit your problems here.
Dear Aunty Fran,
Why am I so constantly tired and exhausted? I only have 2 boy children and a husband. I look at all the spurious adverts of all the happy women in their tidy, lovely houses and I think to myself, “what am I doing wrong”? What’s with the continuing supply of wet towels and dirty mugs? Where does the weird bathtub grime come from? Why is the fridge empty 10 minutes after shopping? Is it me? What did I do wrong???? Thank you in advance. X
