AND THE LIVING IS EASYIt' s that in-between time of year - the Winter months still trailing at our feet (just HOW many people have had non-specific, ongoing, cold-like viruses for the last three months?! - I blame the government and, ehh, central heating). Another thing that tends to trail us around, even this time after Christmas overspend, is money and not enough of it. As Dawn Kofie ably demonstrates this issue, managing your finances involves a little bit more than waiting for a cheque to clear before your next shopping binge. But enough about colds and money - it' ll soon be Summer - wahey! - the promised land; fit bodies (Holmes Place never had it so good), long sunny days, steamy nights (steamin' nights?), hayfever and mortgaged-to the-hilt holidays.

is a partnership project representing the LGBT community in Scotland. Views expressed are not necessarily those of the partners. However, if they're witty, intelligent and insightful - they probably are. If you flicked through this mag, saw a photie and made an assumption about someone's sexuality - then you're about ten years behind what we're trying to do here. Click the mag off and walk away. Accurate at going online time, but hey, we didn't get this sarky without making mistakes.
