So many questions in this week's instalment: Does the thought of writing a stack of thank you cards fill you with dread? Why does nobody seem to send them, anymore? Can you find a way to a new you after a long-term relationship - especially an abusive one - in the harsh world of modern dating? How can you make amends when you've accidentally angered all the old ladies in your apartment block? Can you really make stock from feathers?
