Why Mummy Drinks: The Sunday Times Number One Bestselling Author

Product Information

Which meant more often than not that they came to us, for the Christmas Vision and the unopened pickled beetroot. And Louisa, in a twist no one saw coming, announced she’d reconciled with her appalling husband Bardo (we always referred to him as her ‘husband’, although no one was entirely sure about the legalities of the ‘hand-fasting ceremony’ they’d held to bless their union). I've followed Peter and Jane on Facebook for a while and thought this was just going to be more of the same - something to dip into for a good laugh from time to time.

Well, she miraculously learnt to walk again, and her joie de vivre and positive outlook caused that to happen, but she still got run over!Ellen likes wine, shoes and reminiscing about times in her life that involved Fun and Frolics rather than refereeing fights over who had the remote first. Being a huge fan of the facebook page Peter and Jane I was excited when I saw this book available for review on Netgalley. If you feel that you're not one of the 'in gang' and that everyone else's lives are going much more smoothly than yours then you'll find you are not alone.

I doled out chew sticks, wiped my eyes and assured myself Jane would calm down and realise I was just trying to help, as I considered the practicalities of her festive abandonment. The sort we could never go to when the kids were little because they’d break things or steal things? Simon's family turn up for Christmas and the home becomes a madhouse, but Ellen plods on, and has a few interesting encounters along the way.

I just don’t think you’ve thought this through properly, so don’t get annoyed with me because I’m helping. Okay it was never ever going to improve my mind, but what it did do was make me laugh and make me laugh out loud.

Oh my God, Mother, it’s only bloody Verbier, will you stop saying “Abroad” like a xenophobic Nancy Mitford character?The plot’s a bit daft, featuring at least one completely ridiculous character, and a bit slim, too, but this is a diary and the fun is found in the details and the nods of recognition for mums caught up in a similar life stage. Surely in a just world, the little girl who brought joy to the sorrowing hearts of an entire town wouldn’t get run over in the first place! This book highlights some of the nightmares and of course the fun times parents can have with young children.
