FORMER Sutton lass Margaret Ward, who had lived in America since becoming a GI bride more than 40 years ago, believes she is well on the way to achieving inner peace.

Contacting me from New Jersey, she explains that someone sent her an article saying the way to achieve this blissful state was to finish the things you've started.

Margaret (nee Foy) who displays a keen sense of humour in the frequent e-mails she fires off to me at the Star is apparently following this advice to the letter.

"Here are the things I have finished today", she explains. "Two bags of potato chips; a strawberry cheesecake; pack of biscuits; bottle of wine and a small box of chocolates. I think this really works...because I feel better already!"

n IT certainly sounds a 'swell' routine.
