"A syringe and a vial of frozen sperm arrived by courier and, unbelievably, I got pregnant the first time I inseminated myself - but sadly, I lost the baby after six weeks."

The New Female Breadwinners

The latest unemployment figures released this month by the Office for National Statistics revealed that the number of men losing their jobs has increased by almost 50% during the recession, with one in 10 men expected to be unemployed by the start of next year – putting the onus on their other halves to keep money ticking in. Meanwhile, a survey by community jobs site Workingmums.co.uk found that 79% of women were considering either extending their existing working hours or re-entering the workplace because they were worried about the possibility of their partners losing their jobs in the recession.
A report published in 2007 by the Future Foundation found only 14% of UK homes had a female breadwinner at the helm, but the same study predicted that number would double by 2030.

Pixie Dust

Last month, doctors spread a clumpy white powder nicknamed 'pixie dust' where he's missing an index finger.
"I asked them afterward, 'What do you expect?'" said Shilo. "And they said 'You're the first, so we'll see.' I went, 'Wow, OK.'"
Four weeks later, Shilo showed me the new growth that looks like a pink bump.
"Now he has more finger than he had before already, and so we're just going to keep putting it on and keep going and see what happens," said Dr. Steven Wolf, who is testing the 'pixie dust.'
Waiting lists to join the WI

Women's Institutes in London are now so popular that would-be members are being turned away.
A six-month waiting list to join is in place at three of the city's WIs - Shoreditch, Islington and Wimbledon.
Islington's WI, currently the city's largest, has had to turn away 60 women, while there are 38 people on the waiting list to join in Wimbledon.
A WI spokeswoman said it showed many women in London were desperate to reconnect with their local community.
Amy Bick said: "One thing that attracts people in London to the WI is the sense of community.
"A lot of people living in a big city don't really have a sense of knowing people in their local area."
And Ms Bick thinks the recession has only accelerated demand.
