Gilly (that's with a 'G', you notice) was engaged to Ed, but a fortnight before their wedding and with the gifts piling up, he changed his mind. So Gilly was left on her own at the age of thirty -four with a mortgage to pay on her house in Hammersmith and only a shop job to support herself. She really didn't know what she wanted to do with her life but as a stop-gap , she decided to take in a Monday-to-Friday lodger. This would give her some income, company during the week and the house to herself at weekends. It seemed like an added bonus when the man she finally settled on was, well, rather tasty. Jack Baker seemed to have a lot going for him – and a job in reality television.
Gilly has a lot going for her – that's not surprising as she's ''that'' sort of person – in the form of good neighbours, a twin brother, a couple of close friends and her dog-walking group. They meet in the park each morning and probably know more about the dogs than they do about each other. Gilly always leaves with Guy and they go their separate ways at the zebra crossing. Don't be getting any ideas about romance, because Guy is engaged to Flora, who's away at the moment and he's only with the dog walkers because he's looking after Flora's dog.
