Oooooh, the excitement! John Lewis has offered me a £25 voucher in exchange for my top tips on a perfect family Christmas! I am touched that anyone would think for a second that I, the homewrecker of Herne Hill, would have the least clue about creating family harmony – and particularly John Lewis, surely the most sensible and …
I was tootling through Tooting this morning on my way to work, through the dark November drizzle, the nasty big buses and the grumpy commuters, when I came across this lovely sight: That is surely the only way to travel through Tooting – on a sugar pink bike, wearing sugar pink bike leathers, with a …
I was avoiding going to bed with my thoughts last night and, for some reason, I decided to check my credit card bill online. This is something I never do. Once a purchase is made, I rarely revisit the scene of the crime, and do my best to forget everything about the new item and …
As a Londoner, I often forget to do ‘London’ things with the girls. I am so used to seeing the Houses of Parliament from the train when I’m off to buy deadly boring stuff like netball skirts that Pugin’s amazing building has all but lost its charm, while, on a clear day, you can catch sight of the …

Last night, for example, I decided to make ratatouille, even though there was not a courgette, pepper, onion or bit of aubergine in the house. Yes, it was basically a can of tomatoes, with herbs.

1. Opened the door to the postman the other day. He handed me a package with something of a flourish. ‘Dulwich Divorcee. Is that your company name ………..or is it a statement of intent?’ he said, with what can only be described as a twinkle. I knew it was the moment to come out with …
A weekend in pictures: The lovely Jo Beaufoix, Laura ‘Dos’ Driver and beautiful Tara Cain with the Dragan Khan ride in the background, where it was destined to stay throughout the weekend (phew!). This ride, the Chine Teacups, may look sedate, but note naughty Erica’s little pixie smile …..she was about to start twirling like a …
There can be no sight more absurd than five tipsy mummybloggers trying to hide behind a teeny tiny cart in the dead of a Barcelona night, as they keep watch on a spooky hotel. Unless it’s the sight of those very same mummybloggers shrieking their heads off and running as fast as their little legs …
