The Mummy Diaries
2 journalers for this copy...
from Heat magazine,
"Oh, the trials of Rachel Johnson's life. Running a house in Notting Hill and another one in Exmoor, with only minimal help from a cleaning lady and au pair. Honestly, we wonder how the woman manages to get up in the morning, never mind haul herself to the Aga, such is her burden. Of course, she does work occasionally, since she managed to rattle off this book between trips to the Portobello Market...but we can't think it's too much of a drain. Despite the type of charmed life that usually makes us grind out teeth and harrumph with envy, we just can't manage to dislike Rachel Johnson. The weekly instalments of her middle class mummy's diary are actually very, very funny, possibly because you get the distinct impression she is making up this whole wife/mother thing as she goes along. A must-read for all you yummy-mummies."

Hmmmmmmmmm I was a bit disappointed with this one!! I think I was expecting a lot more from it - the bright and colourful cover made me think it was going to be a funny look at motherhood, but it wasn't really. I think the writer wanted people to think how hard it was juggling nannys, cleaners etc when really I didn't think she was in the real world LOL
Still, I'm glad I read it, and it was a v.quick read!!
