Share your story with best
Do you have a story you’d like to share with our amazing army of best readers? We’re looking for real-life stories from women just like you and your friends – and will pay up to £200 for all those that make it into these pages. Stories can be funny, sad, emotional, inspirational – just like some of the examples on this page. The only rule: they must be true.
Have you been on a diet that changed your life? Have you battled against tough times and come out fighting? Have you found love or happiness against the odds?
If you – or a friend – have a story to share, whatever the subject, do drop us a line, with your contact details, a photo and a brief outline of your story – ideally no more than 100 words.

On top of that, I’ve enjoyed shopping local simply because parking was easier. It’s not rocket science, Local Authorities!
