A doctor's harsh comments about being overweight spurred a Royston mum to shed six stone in time for her wedding.

Catherine Beetles, of Tannery Drift, says she was repeatedly referred to as too fat by a doctor while pregnant with her first child Lauren, 13 months.

But, one year on from joining Slimming World at Royston Evangelical Church, the 28-year-old now believes she has the tools to keep the weight off for good.

She said: I ballooned during my pregnancy at 35 weeks I was 22 stone but was in denial about how much weight I had actually put on.

There was a doctor who really upset me. Every other sentence she would say because youre so fat.

She said I would have a terrible labour because of my weight. After the appointment I was really upset and cried for nearly three days.

But, Catherine admitted some of her pregnancy cravings were on the unhealthy side.

The former dental nurse said: My one big craving was Fanta and it had to be Fanta, not any other fizzy orange. I would only drink normal and not diet.

I also love burgers and I worked near Burger King at The Grafton which did not help.

Canada's dollar and its benchmark stock exchange both sagged Monday, each dragged lower by oil prices that keep sliding with no end in sight.

The S&P/TSXcomposite index closed down 119.91 points, as oil companies and other commodities sold off heavily.

The catalyst, again, was oil. The price of a barrel of benchmark North American crude oil lost almost $2 to settle at $46.46 US in the afternoon. That's a continuation of a multi-week theme, as oil has gone from $105 a barrel in the summer to less than half of that because of oversupply.

"I think we're going to see plenty more volatility in the coming days as pressure mounts on oil producers to scale back production before prices get dangerously low," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.

"The speed has been breathtaking," said David Wolf, portfolio manager and co-manager of Fidelity Canadian Asset Allocation Fund.

"And I think one of the reasons that equity markets are struggling with this is because it is a bit reminiscent of what happened in late 2008, so the surrounding memories of that are an economy in freefall."

Oil market watchers are already expecting that, as Goldman Sachs slashed its forecast for price for this year and next. It said the benchmark New York rate would average $50.40 a barrel this year, far below its previous forecast of $83.75.

That was bad news for the loonie, which lost over two-thirds of a cent to close at 83.56.

But it wasn't just oil dragging the TSX lower, as mining companies and banks usually the bastion of Canadian stocks were also lower, in part because of fears of how exposed their books are to loans in the oil patch that may turn out badly.

Gold was a source of strength, up 3.5 per cent as the February bullion contractgained $10 to $1,226.10 US an ounce.

After all, its the most intimate room in the house, where we go to unwind and relax and, if were lucky enough, where we spend a third of our lives sleeping.

A haven of tranquility with plenty of scope for personal touches, simple pleasures such as soft cotton sheets, a boudoir cushion and a throw can evoke a feeling of wellbeing, enhance your space, and be an open invitation to come to bed.

Fresh and elegant

For a fresh, elegant look for spring bedrooms, white or champagne tones are timeless, romantic and naturally calming, making the perfect antidote to a busy day, says Julie Hall, head of design at Bedeck.

A Delhi court on Tuesday framed charges against the driver of U.S.-based cab service provider Uber for alleged rape and kidnapping, amid some drama by him inside the court room.

Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja framed charges against Shiv Kumar Yadav, accused of raping a 25-year-old woman executive, for offences under sections 376(2)(m) (while committing rape causing grievous bodily harm or endangering life of a woman), 366 (kidnapping or abducting woman with an intent to compel her for marriage), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code.

The judge also ordered trial on day-to-day basis in the case from January 15.

The court framed charges against 32-year-old Yadav after he pleaded not guilty.

Yadav created a bit of a drama by initially refusing to sign on the charge order and arguing with the judge, while alleging that arguments on charges were not advanced in his presence and claiming that he was not given a chance to engage a lawyer for himself.

Later, after being assured by the judge that nothing wrong was being done to him and all legal procedures were being followed by the court, he agreed and gave it in writing that he was signing the order on charge at his own will.

The police had filed the charge sheet 19 days after the incident on the night of December 5 last year when the victim, who worked for a finance company in Gurgaon, was headed back home in Delhis Inderlok area.

During the last hearing on January 9, the court had reserved its order on framing of charge after hearing arguments, during which the police asserted that scientific, medical and other evidence showed beyond doubt that Yadav had raped the woman passenger.

The counsel appearing for Yadav, however, had claimed that as per the victims medical report no injury was found on her body and she was tutored before recording her statement under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) before a magistrate.

The metropolitan magistrate, on January 5, had taken cognizance of the charge sheet filed by the Delhi Police and committed it to the sessions court for further proceedings.

If you like a sprinkle of salt or two on your food, then this is definitely the restaurant for you.

The walls, bar, tables, and chairs of Salt Restaurant Shiraz are made entirely from the mineral, and even the stairs have a smooth, salty coating.

Inspired by salt caves, the architects of the eatery in southern Iran claim their building material cleanses the two-storey bistro of cooking smells and creates positive ions in the atmosphere.

Construction underway for Winnipeg pop up restaurant located on the Red River

WINNIPEG An empty space on the Red River will soon become the foundation for a brand new Winnipeg eatery.

Its always really interesting to see it go up, The Forks Dave Pancoe said Monday afternoon.

In late January,Raw Almond, a pop-up restaurant, will open its doors for the third straight year.

A kitchen, a 90 by 90 square foot building, and a 50 foot deck, is currently being constructed off The Forks river trail. The attraction draws thousands to the area, from across Canada and the United States.

There is always something to see out here. And I think it just adds more to the ambiance of the whole place, Pancoe said.

This year, the owners of Raw Almond held an international competition to find the restaurants design. The winners were architects from the U.K. The winning team plans on visiting Winnipeg on January 20th to see their vision become reality.

They designed it and it was a great design the jury loved it and were trying to build it as close as we can to their design, Raw AlmondsJoe Kalturnyk said Monday.

This year, the kitchen is insulated for the chefs, and the deck is also a new addition from previous years.

The owners of "The Wine Valley LLC" will be opening a restaurant in the former location of Cafe de Paris along Capitol Street. That restaurant, located in the heart of downtown, closed in 2009.

The owner of "The Wine Valley" tells WSAZ the new location will be a restaurant, but it will have a different concept. He plans to release more information next week.

"The Wine Valley" has been opened at Liberty Square for three years.

There's no word at this time when construction will start.
