The hilarious second novel, and Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller, from
author of the smash hit Why Mummy Drinks. Monday, 25 July The first
day of the holidays. I suppose it could've been worse. I brightly
announced that perhaps it might be a lovely idea to go to a stately
home and learn about some history. As soon as we got there I
remembered why I don't use the flipping National Trust membership -
because National Trust properties are full of very precious and
breakable items, and very precious and breakable items don't really
mix with children, especially not small boys. Where I had envisaged
childish faces glowing with wonder as they took in the treasures of
our nation's illustrious past, we instead had me shouting 'Don't
touch, DON'T TOUCH, FFS DON'T TOUCH!" while stoutly shod pensioners
tutted disapprovingly and drafted angry letters to the Daily Mail
in their heads. How many more days of the holiday are there?
Welcome to Mummy's world... The Boy Child Peter is connected to his
iPad by an umbilical cord, The Girl Child Jane is desperate to make
her fortune as an Instagram lifestyle influencer, while Daddy is
constantly off on exotic business trips... Mummy's marriage is
feeling the strain, her kids are running wild and the house is
steadily developing a forest of mould. Only Judgy, the Proud and
Noble Terrier, remains loyal as always. Mummy has also found
herself a new challenge, working for a hot new tech start-up. But
not only is she worrying if, at forty-two, she could actually get
up off a bean bag with dignity, she's also somehow (accidentally)
rebranded herself as a single party girl who works hard, plays hard
and doesn't have to run out when the nanny calls in sick. Can Mummy
keep up the facade while keeping her family afloat? Can she really
get away with wearing 'comfy trousers' to work? And, more
importantly, can she find the time to pour herself a large G+T?
Probably effing not.
