Im distraught. I was recently let go by my employer and it wasnt looking too good for me in my old home town. Thankfully I got an offer which I jumped at even if it meant some upheaval. Sadly the excitement got a little too much for me and the first time I was out with guys from\u00a0the new company, I opened my legs to a total stranger and made a complete fool\u00a0 of myself in front of everyone. They even took pictures and they have been sent all over town and beyond. Will I ever be able to raise my head again?<\/p>\n

Helen writes<\/em> Best thing is to get yourself in with the gossip brigade…take them to lunch, buy them a few drinks, give them some juice and get them onside.\u00a0 Is there any chance of you getting some positive coverage darling, I hope so, I really do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Helen<\/strong><\/p>\n I need your advice urgently. Then I met with an exotic sweet-talker from far away. This charmer promised me riches, power, glory. Some people \u00a0tried to warn me but I was blinded by my old lusts. So far it all seems be just me who gives him riches power and glory whenever he deems my company worth keeping, in truth im lucky to see him from one month to the next but I hear rumours he’s playing fast and loose with my money despite his well fed and watered\u00a0friends constantly saying that everything is fine.<\/p>\n Im getting nothing out of this relationship bar taken down the same old road to self destruction again. All i want is my dignity and respect back, is there anythin you can advise before the roof comes crashing in on me again?<\/p>\n TRFC , Glasgow SouthWest<\/p>\n Helen writes<\/em><\/p>\n Oh darling, this reminds me of the time\u00a0I turned my back on the old Weatherfield\u00a0streets and left the cosy nest of Kev and Sally. I had to seek other ways of paying the bills after the modelling money for doing those tasteful flyers for Roys Rolls was no longer available. It was tough not having that cushion but I swallowed my pride and headed to the Jungle. When i was in the Jungle, I turned my back on those old superficial false ways, I faced the bare truth of where\u00a0I truly was in the world, and when i say bare, well make up free and cold wet showers in front of 6 carefully placed cameras for a fortnight was NOT easy i can\u00a0 tell you!. <\/p>\n Dear Helen<\/strong> B, Glasgow East End<\/p>\n Helen writes<\/em><\/p>\n Dear B, trust in yourself. When\u00a0I fell off those rollerskates while doing some \u00a0cash in hand leaflet work for Barlows Bookies,\u00a0 did I\u00a0just lie there on the cobbles outside\u00a0Nicks Bistro?, Oh no I did not! I got straight back up and before long I was landing a great gig doing\u00a0some hair extension modelling for Audrey Roberts.<\/p>\n In life we will all fall, its the getting back up that counts so fear not. Just you Go and fly B, (fly B gettit!..oh how my wee sister Rosie loved my sense of humour!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Helen<\/strong> Helen writes<\/em><\/p>\n Sadly N, Im just an agony aunt, not a miracle worker. Remember keeping a lovely body is a 24 hour task so\u00a0I hope you diet in your sleep!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Helen<\/strong><\/p>\n I dont know what to do. Its all a bit blurry really. One minute\u00a0I was all settled and next thing I knew, I had a big lump of cash thrust in front of me, ended up in a\u00a0strange town with a new bunch of mates and before\u00a0I knew it, I only went and scored. It was crazy and at one point\u00a0I was feeling hands all over me. I dont know how\u00a0I can tell my lovely wife back home..oh no what if she already knows?<\/p>\n Helen writes<\/em><\/p>\n Scott, call me NOW!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n * Not really joined \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Its not just Celtic who can announce a wonderful signing from down South this week.

\nOh darling, that reminds me of the time\u00a0I got the Bettabuys modelling gig just after the Promo contract with Newton and Ridley was withdrawn…I thought easy peasy and that i would soon be heading for Vogue but sure enough it ended up with me legs akimbo straddling 300 tins of beans, –\u00a0they werent event Heinz. Suffice to say I was not amused but wee Reg Holdsworth seemed to enjoy himself.<\/p>\n
\n
\nI was at\u00a0 real low ebb 4 years, I had been living it up for far too long on borrowed funds and loose promises. It all came crashing down and and in truth I ended up acting suicidal. Through the help of some truly unbelievable friends, I somehow managed to re-invent myself and finally thought i was getting back to where i should be.<\/p>\n
\nIm sure you’re already a lot more humble in your actions and once you complete that journey of self realisation, you wont need to worry about that cash grabbing charmer for I have a feeling that he will be long gone soon enough.
\nYou are more humble these days, arent you darling, arent you?<\/p>\n
\n
\nHoping you can give me some advice. I was a little bit down but suddenly life is great again. Im doing well at work and people are really friendly and just love congratulating me and tell me how much they like me. I feel the world is my oyster at the moment. The only issue is that I have been here before, flying high and then crashing down hard. Anything you can advise on how to survive that feeling of impending doom?<\/p>\n
\n
\nOnce upon a time I was like you, people loved to look at me and smile. Well at least half of the people did, now sadly, people just look at me and laugh. Im out of shape and out of their hearts and minds. Is there anything I can do before I’m trawling the gutter?
