    My kids have just discovered that the family sick bowl and the cake mix bowl are one and the same. In my defence, this was also the case when I was growing up … but now I’ve said it out loud, I realise I need to break the cycle. I won’t be taking any further questions.

    My lovely mum died on Boxing Day 2002, 20 years ago today. She was 48. A primary school teacher, superb cuddle giver, terrible singer and the absolute heart of our family. The last thing she said to me was ‘be good, and if you can’t be good, be careful.’ Solid advice tbh 💕

    Unbelievably proud to announce the safe arrival of baby Wilf, born just before midnight at 39 weeks. We’re back home now and all in a bit of a fog but it’s a happy fog ❤️

    Did my regular check on Son 1’s search history. He knows I do this … but I think he must have forgotten. My heart 💔🥰

    My first event of the new book tour has been cancelled due to low ticket sales 😢 and I feel really embarrassed 🙈 I have shared many publishing highs along the way and I think it’s important to share when things feel tough, too. Onwards, I guess! Xx

    Bit of a stressful evening. Haven’t been able to find out who someone I knew in Year 10 announced as the second person in their @ list to spend a year on a luxury island with. Also don’t know if my name was on the list of girls guaranteed to get pregnant in 2022 #facebookdown

    In the car with the kids who have requested Kisstory. Some absolute bangers to be fair. Anyway, Kelis comes on with Milkshake and Jude (7) says, “I bet her milkshake isn’t better than the one we had at that farm shop that time.” 😂

    Postpartum reality! Sorry if you’re eating your breakfast but after initially thinking I couldn’t share this, I realised it’s less flesh than it would be if I shared my ‘bikini body’. I was absolutely euphoric here ❤️(despite walking like John Wayne and wearing an adult nappy)

    A massive thank you to the midwives at @MaternityRde for safety delivering baby Wilf last night. Our third baby to be born at the RD&E. Special shout out to our wonderfully calm midwife Rosie and trainee midwife Lottie ❤️ #lovetheNHS #grateful

    Big up my mother-in-law whose response to my 5-year-old telling her it was time for their wrestling match was, “OK let me just take my shoes off” 😂

    This Christmas marks twenty years since my mum died. She’s been on my mind a lot so here’s a little poem I wrote at lunchtime. Big love to anyone who is missing someone ❤️

    My life changed for the better the day I first used scissors to cut pizza. No regrets. No turning back.
