My little sister Elle is very good at helping people. Her helpful personality emerged at the age of two, when she began helping Trouble the cat around the house by dragging him by his tail.

At the end of 2002 Elle got her own column in The Cambridge Student newspaper, helping numerous hapless students to sort out their troubled lives, and in 2003 'Ask Elle' was launched on this very website.

Elle is now five, and still enjoys giving advice to distraught souls and inanimate objects.

If you are a poor unfortunate soul, and would like to receive advice from Britain's wisest three year old, either email contact (at) ruthpickett. co. uk, or write a comment in the website guestbook. If you wish to remain anonymous we'll even think up an implausible name for you. Get writing now!
