I have a friend who went to great lengths to hide her shopping purchases from her hubby. She used to carry a red texta in her bag to do her own markdowns on shopping tags, so $100 dresses were reduced to just $49. And then there was the time she cut out the label on another expensive new purchase, and carefully sewed in a label from one of her old Kmart tops so her husband was none the wiser! But with this week’s budget fashion special (page 56) there’s no need to tell little white lies to your other half! So many great finds, all for under $50 – it’s now the perfect excuse to go shopping. And leave your red texta at home!…

The show’s 2017 ‘power couple’ – who first became friends and allies in the Samoan jungle earlier this year – couldn’t be happier with their pregnancy news. ‘It’s definitely a big surprise, but we are delighted,’ grins 37-year-old Mark, a former Australian Army special operations commander. ‘I always knew I wanted to be a father, but I chose not to go down that path. Being a soldier for 16 years, I was lucky to come out intact after so many tours of duty – and to start a family, well that’s just a huge…

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY FINDING NEVERLAND BATES MOTEL The Good Doctor airs Thursday, 8.40pm, Channel Seven.

It’s been revealed that several members of the Suits star’s extended family have disturbing histories of drug use, violence, racism, crime and drunken behaviour.

Did you know water is actually more important to the human body than food? Newborn babies’ bodies are made up of around 75 per cent water, decreasing to around 60 per cent as they mature to adulthood. And though it can be hard to calculate the exact amount of fluid required each day, the following can be used as a guide: FOR BABIES: • 0-6 months: 0.7L per day (from breast milk or formula). • 7-12 months: 0.8L/day (from breast milk, formula, food, plain water and other beverages, including 0.6L as fluids). Up until the age of six months the fluid in breast milk and water added to formula is usually enough to meet bub’s hydration requirements, with breast milk containing around 87 per cent water. After this age, cooled,…
