It’s been announced today that I have won The Guardian’s Mary Stott Prize 2008. I entered in September and was so convinced that I had more chance of winning Miss Universe than a national writing award, that I didn’t even keep a copy of my entry. So I’ve managed to win and lose. I’ve had […]

Suri Cruise is a delectable little girl and clearly brings enormous joy to her parents Katie and Tom Cruise who kiss and carry her a lot, dress her up to the nines and have even allowed her to help herself to a lorry load of toys from a New York department store. It’s delightful that […] OK, I admit there are 1001 more important things to worry about but it’s like an unsolved crime and it’s bugging me…… Strictly didn’t finish too early on Saturday night, did it ?

I laughed so much at these names that I was sadly reminded that my pelvic floor muscles are now deep in the basement of my body and are no good to me […] To register my family at a new GP practice I was asked to provide documentation. I turned up at the surgery, paperwork in hand, as a man was leaving. He kindly held the door open for me and I headed for the reception desk which was womanned by a receptionist who clearly loved shopping at […] If I was on one of those team building raft constructing weekends with work colleagues I’d collect my own log, stash it in my hotel room, and then head for the spa.
