Saturday with Laura Dowling: If I don’t work out for a couple of days I feel grumpy

I like to go to the gym about four times a week. It’s so important as we age that we look after our joints, bones and muscles

Laura Dowling: My Sundays aren’t really my own any more as I do my Confessions on social media — it could be anything from sad, to funny, to sexy — all very real.

Saturday is the one day that I try to stay offline to time with my family. It was my dad that said I needed at least one day off a week. My Sundays aren’t really my own any more as I do my Confessions on social media — it could be anything from sad, to funny, to sexy — all very real. My kids are all teenagers now so I may only have one early match to go to. The first thing I’ll do is drink a cappuccino that my husband makes. I’m on social media so much normally that I try to avoid it being the first thing I do on a Saturday. If there’s no match to go to I will get up and make pancakes or scones.
