Yes, I Can Manage, Thank You!

Another year; another January. It's time for those resolutions you'll fail to keep and a new diary for Marie Sharp. This year she is determined to get healthy. Now that her darling grandson Gene is at school she's got more time on her hands and she'd better find something to do with it. She joins Facebook but can't see the point of it, and takes in a male lodger who's not bad looking. She puts on her make up before she boils the kettle for her morning cuppa.

But then Marie discovers some curious symptoms that worry her and goes to the see the doctor. Could it be cancer? At the same time she becomes suspicious that the lodger is not all he seems.

Marie is back, facing laughter and disaster in equal measure. She's getting older in her inimitable style, still failing to grow up . . .
