‘Time to put down the needles and start living my best life,’ she wrote.

Maddison Sullivan-Thorpe shared a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday, detailing her struggle to fall pregnant after five rounds of IVF

‘Motherhood sounds so f**king magical – I’m sure it is every bit as lovely and brilliant as everyone describes.

‘But… I’ve also met and spoken with some pretty happy, loved-up women who for a variety of reasons have not had children; and you know what they seem to have found some pretty darn special magic in their lives too.’

Ms Sullivan-Thorpe said the past two years had drained her ‘energy and emotional capability’ while leaving her feeling ‘helplessly out of control’.

‘To the women and men who walk this path, I feel so deeply for you’

‘But man it’s made me tough and emotionally I know now nothing can break me,’ she wrote.

‘Two years since all this began and I am finally at peace with whatever the future holds for me.

‘Kids don’t equal happiness and it’s so damn comforting for people like me, crippled by uncertainty to know that.’

Ms Sullivan-Thorpe has been open about her struggles to fall pregnant and last December shared a video montage of her administering her hormone injections.

‘To the women and men who walk this path, I feel so deeply for you – it’s one hell of a fight, physically, emotionally and financially,’ she wrote last year.

The emotional post comes after a tumultuous year for her fiance.

Just weeks ago he pleaded guilty to drink driving after smashing his car into four parked cars in Melbourne in April.

The Bulldogs fined Hunter, 26, $5,000, suspended him from playing for four matches and told to him to get alcohol counselling, which he has complied with.

Hunter reportedly had a fight with Ms Sullivan-Thorpe before getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.

Magistrate Michelle Hodgson suspended Hunter’s licence for 12 months and fined him $1,000 without conviction.

Ms Sullivan-Thorpe said she had spoken to ‘happy, loved-up women’ who had still found magic in their lives without having children

He has already paid $5,000 for one of the smashed cars – a commercial vehicle – and is negotiating with insurers to pay for the rest.

He also stepped down as vice-captain for the Bulldogs.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
