Assuming you know everything about a partner can limit the opportunity for love to grow.

Pluto could rock a family foundation a little, but when the right supports are in place, it will stand strong.

I was dreading my baby's first flight but a 45p buy kept her occupied for 3 HOURS & made zero mess, it's genius
A FIRST-TIME mum dreading flying with her baby daughter has shared how she got through it without any tears Lala, from Germany, took to social media to share her genius parenting hack just in time for any summer holidays you have planned. 2 And the best part is that the travel hack costs just 45p. In the clip, Lala and her partner could be seen boarding the plane with their baby asleep in her mum's arms. She said: "This was her very first flight and we timed it perfectly with her nap. She slept right through takeoff but eventually she woke up." So how did the parents keep her entertained for the three hour flight? Lettuce. Lala said they often give their tot lettuce when they're trying to eat in peace, so decided to try it on the plane. "It always keeps her occupied for so long. And I thought, if it works at home, why would it not work on a plane?" she explained. Like most kids, her daughter was obsessed with tearing things up and trying to put them in her mouth. "Like bread, paper, tissue, anything. But bread is way too messy, like there are crumbs everywhere," she explained. And with paper or tissue, we always have to keep an eye on her that she doesn't eat it. But lettuce? "Lettuce is genius. It has a really fun texture and it's not messy at all. And it's safe if she decides to munch on it. Not just safe, but it's actually a really refreshing and healthy snack for her." "This kept her occupied almost the entire flight." 2 I tested the viral £17.99 Amazon underseat cabin bag to see how many outfits I could fit in While Lala's easy travel hack was worth giving a go, it's worth noting that some airlines may not let you bring it on, depending on what country you are flying to. Others may not let you bring it into the country when you land so you'll have to chuck it away. But that won't matter too much as the hack costs just 45p as two heads of lettuce cost 90p from Waitrose. The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @ lalaleluu with over 1.7 million views and 267k likes. Plenty of parents took to the comments thanking her for the advice. One person wrote: "Wow this is genius. About to take my baby on her first flight alone and I might try this." How to make travelling with kids a breeze IT can be stressful travelling with kids, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier. Here's five we'd recommend: Snacks It might sound simple, but it's a good idea to pack a LOT of snacks. Think of how much you might need, and double it. After all, it doesn't matter if you have too much - your kids can eat it another time - but it will be a big issue if you run out. There are also snack boxes with lots of little dividers that are great for long journeys as kids can pick at those throughout. Entertainment This covers a whole range of things - from a tablet to watch films or play games if you've got older kids, to books and colouring. It's advisable to pack a variety of options, especially if you're on a long journey or have various legs on your haul. Toys If you've got a baby or a toddler, there are some sensory-type toys you can buy that can really help keep little ones entertained. These include ones that you stick on the windows of a plane, or on a tray on a highchair, that they can spin and play with to their hearts' content. Equipment There are a whole host of things on the market that aim to make sleeping on a plane loads easier. These include a hammock that you can attack to your tray which hangs down to put your feet on. You can also get blow up cushions to turn a seat into a bed for littles, and neck cushions that boast you will be able to use for a decent night's sleep wherever you are. Yourselves! Don't underestimate how entertaining you are to your kids. Learn some games you can play with them, and songs you can sing, as kids always love the opportunity to have one-on-one time with their parents. Another commented: "I have a 14 hour flight with my baby next month. I'll just bring a whole field." "You, Lala, have just unlocked a whole new toy for all of us mums out there thank you," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is some next level parenting!! Bravo!!"

Lena Dunham's new A-list filled Netflix show is supposed to show us the hilarious differences between Brits and Americans. Sadly, it is full of woke psychobabble and a torturous main character in her 30s who acts like a teenager: CLAUDIA CONNELL
Whenever Hollywood movies depict people living in London, they're invariably shown inhabiting flats they couldn't possibly afford, usually with a view of Tower Bridge or the London Eye from their bedroom window. So, it's to the credit of new comedy Too Much that when leading character Jess, an exuberant but needy New Yorker, relocates to London, she lives in a shabby flat on a north London council estate - even though it wasn't what she had in mind. Like so many Americans, Jess (Megan Stalter) grew up with a romanticised view of 'jolly old England'. She idled away her time in New York bingeing British costume dramas where 'women fan themselves and then die of tuberculosis'. To her, the word 'estate' conjured up visions of something out of a Jane Austen novel with dashing Mr Darcy and Rochester types at every turn - not grey blocks of flats with drug dealers on corners. The 'estate' misunderstanding is the first of many that occur, when two cultures collide. Given Jess's love of British rom-coms, it's fitting that this hotly anticipated series is made by Working Title Films, the production company behind such movies as Notting Hill and Love Actually. It's directed by Lena Dunham, creator of the acclaimed and ground-breaking series Girls, and co-written with her British husband Luis Felber, loosely basing the story on their own experience. When her horribly arrogant American boyfriend, Zev (Michael Zegen) cheats on her with beautiful influencer Wendy (Emily Ratajkowski), Jess agrees to be transferred to the London branch of the media agency she works for to try and mend her broken heart. Her nephew waves her off with a sage piece of advice, warning her that 'British people think Americans are stupid and vulgar but funny, while Americans think the British are snotty and pretentious but smart'. Will Sharpe, who plays Jess's love interest Felix, alongside Stalter. Claudia Connell writes: 'I'm not sure how realistic it is that an achingly cool musician like Felix would date a chubby girl who looks like she applies her make up in the dark.' By the end of episode one, Jess has already landed a British boyfriend. Wannabe rock star Felix (Will Sharpe) introduces her to Jaffa Cakes, explains what 'bog roll' means and as good as moves into her flat after the first date. What unfolds over ten episodes is a sometimes amusing, but mostly torturous, romp through their burgeoning relationship as they meet each other's friends and family and wonder if they are right for one another. Dunham's hit series Girls worked so well because it offered a refreshingly realistic look at the lives of women in their 20s. Still works-in-progress, they were feeling their way, trying men on for size and struggling with careers and finances. Too Much fails to hit its mark because, although her precise age is never given, Jess is in her mid-30s, yet still living the chaotic life of a teenager. She dresses like an oversized toddler in colourful romper suits and white tights, with giant bows in her hair and spends an awful lot of time crying in bathrooms while stalking Wendy - her love rival - online. Her immaturity quickly becomes grating. The show is at its best when it highlights the differences between Brits and Americans. There's a great scene where Jess's snobby boss, played by Richard E Grant, gives her a list of ten 'American' behaviours to avoid including her habit of announcing when she needs to pee and removing her shoes at her desk. It's at its worst and most tedious when the episodes - and sadly it's the majority of them - focus on dissecting the minutiae of every relationship. 'I want to hold space for how you're feeling,' is one example of the psychobabble the show is littered with. It's to be expected that the Millennial characters exist in a weird and woke bubble but, at times, that wokeness feels contrived and shoe-horned in. Take Jess's older sister (played by Dunham) who is newly single after her husband left her to explore a pansexual lifestyle. Then there's Jess's London colleagues who are cliched to the point of caricature - from the feisty exec toying with lesbianism, to her pink haired male PA, who spends his weekends at ketamine-fuelled orgies. If it's all meant to be satire, it's just not smart or original enough. Dunham has done much to speak out about a lack of body diversity in Hollywood and it's good to see Stalter, an actress who isn't a size zero, in the leading role. Jess spends much of the show semi-naked enjoying her wild sex life, and clearly loves her body. But to be brutally frank, I'm not sure how realistic it is that an achingly cool musician like Felix would date a chubby girl who looks like she applies her make up in the dark. 'Too Much' is something Felix accuses Jess of being after she has one of her many meltdowns and it's a phrase that Dunham admits her own husband used about her. Not an insult, rather a polite way of saying that sometimes the loud, brash, no-filter American behaviour needs to be toned down. Although there are laughs along the way and an impressive roll call of A lister cameos (Stephen Fry, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, Emily Ratajkowski and Jennifer Saunders to name but a few). I imagine that, for most Brits, the series - and Jess in particular - really will be 'too much'. Ultimately, there's a fine line between cute and quirky and irritatingly exhausting and Jess (and the series) - sadly - lands the wrong side of it.

Comedian Steve Coogan has said he plans to "put back into a community that was very good to me" after being chosen to lead the regeneration of his hometown in Greater Manchester. The comedian has been announced as co-chairman of a mayoral development corporation (MDC) set up to boost the redevelopment of Middleton. His appointment was announced by the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham alongside five other MDCs designed to boost growth in the region.

That's why I'm happy to be involved and talk to people in Middleton and ask them what they want and what they need."Steve Coogan, who grew up in Alkrington, will work with Rochdale Council in the role on proposals including restoring Middleton Arena, the town gardens, and plans to bring the Metrolink to the also announced former British Olympic champion Lord Sebastian Coe will chair a newly-established MDC for the regeneration of Old Trafford, including the development of Manchester United's new home stadium.

Lord Coe said sports-led regeneration projects fostered strong communities and acted "as a catalyst for economic growth"."Twenty years on from securing the Olympic and Paralympic Games for this country, I'm ready to help deliver a vision of equal scale and ambition," he Council has estimated the regeneration of the area could bring 15,000 new homes, 48,000 new jobs and inject more than £4bn to the economy. As well as Middleton and Old Trafford, an MDC has been established for Bolton aimed at accelerating the proposed "Atom Valley" scheme. Another MDC covering Ashton and Stalybridge has also been established for a transport-led regeneration project. New underground A Greater Manchester Combined Authority spokesman said the projects would create tens of thousands of new jobs and deliver thousands of new homes, as well as new manufacturing sites and commercial spaces. Other pledges made by Burnham in the strategy include the introduction of half-price bus travel for 18-21 year olds from September and a free 24-hour bus travel pilot program for older and disabled people to begin in August. A new tram stop to service new homes in Victoria North, the extension of Metrolink to Stockport and commuter lines being brought into the Bee Network have also been also said he would also ask Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to "look at options" for underground tram and train services at Manchester Piccadilly station.
