Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid every day for a month before conception and throughout early pregnancy. Folic acid has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects of the brain and spinal cord (such as spina bifida) in unborn children, and could help reduce the risk of cleft lip and palate. It is also important to stop smoking. Speak to your GP for further advice, and for more information about clefts, visit www.smiletrain.org.uk Pick one. Just one.

Bill Cullen had his work cut out for him trying to decide just who to sack this week, as neither team showed the slight- est innovation in their product design, or even the most basic grasp on tax matters. Teams Platinum and CuChulainn were tasked with creating a Christmas-themed product to be sold in Spar for its Charity of the Year the 3Ts (Turn the Tide against Suicide). The best they could come up with was a bag of jelly beans and a teddy bear. Bill berated both teams for failing to properly account for VAT, and asked Plat- inum if they knew how many charities already use a teddy bear as their symbol, before answering Barnardos, Make a Wish Foundation, Chernobyl Childrens Project, MS Ireland, Cancer Research UK, and The Teddy Bear Association. CuChulainn had done stellar work for the Jelly Bean Factory, but not much for Spar or its chosen charity. Project Manager Brendan brought Aoiffe and Breffny to the boardroom, but Bill once again decided to lay the blame for the failure at the feet of the PM. According to Mairead Fleming, Bright- water Recruitment director and regular contributor to the Youre Fired show, had the team not shrugged off Breffnys Christmas cracker idea, they might have saved themselves. Speaking in the taxi home, Brendan said: I think Breffny shouldve been fired, he says he has an awful lot to offer and I havent seen him use these talents yet. He added that he was disappointed he didnt convince Bill to change his mind about letting him go.
