She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspirational stories, research and tips that show how exercise often can be the best medicine. This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say ‘jog on’ to your problems and get your life back on track – no matter how small those first steps may be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56221320577397,"sku":"9780008241728","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008241728_716f39c1-d714-4322-9a68-3f4dc34889bd.jpg?v=1785658818"},{"product_id":"9780008365981","title":"What A Way To Go","description":"THE MILLION COPY #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY IS BACK WITH THE NEW BOOK OF THE MOMENT                                Delicious' JOJO MOYES                                'Super-sharp, lethally witty' NIGELLA LAWSON                                ‘Wonderfully wicked’                          RED                                            'Very funny… I inhaled it' JOE LYCETT                                ?‘Taut, pacy, seamless… a huge pleasure to read’ MARIAN KEYES                                'Thoroughly enjoyable, like Succession rewritten by Agatha Christie’ MAIL ON SUNDAY                                ‘Mackie has assembled a gloriously repugnant cast… A dark, funny story of a very dysfunctional family’ OBSERVER                                Meet the Wisterns.

A five-storey house in Hampstead, unfettered access to London’s liberal elite and a bloated bank account. If she can ensnare David Farrand, then she really will have clawed her way to the top. The only snag? David’s daughter, Cat. Diana might have got her claws into David, but Cat is sharpening her own. Entitled, suspicious and used to getting her own way, she’s been digging into Diana’s past.
