Wandering around in Portobello Wholefoods under the Westway, I caught someone’s eye. ‘Hi, Bella! Remember me, Howard?’ ‘Howard!’ I responded enthusiastically waiting for my brain to click. I finally realized he was someone I’d met during a course that promised to help you ‘Live the life of your dreams.’

He told me he had invented a mosquito repellent called incognito, which somehow renders you invisible to small insect attackers, who then don’t bother to bite you. The most vicious mosquitoes live in my holidaying village in Suffolk, so I tried it out on the next trip. It was brilliant! Not a single bite – and all natural to boot. The next time I went, my son insisted on using a different product, and we ended up just like a Daz advert: he was covered in bites and I was pristine clean. An unexpected bonus to come from my course. incognitome.co.uk
