David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

The whole truth and nothing but the truth!

I absolutely loved this book! It was how i found out about MN! I loved the fact it was real womens experiences, what really happens rather than what is supposed to happen. It is also a very funny and entertaining read. I referred to it over and over again during both baby-hoods and have passed it on to a friend who has passed it on to another! Brilliant book and worth every penny -A good price too!

"I love this book because it's full of real life experiences.""It's like asking every person at the school gates or in the queue at Sainsburys what they do when X,Y,Z happens with their children without the embarrassment of asking a stranger." "I lost count of the number of times I said 'Oh what a good idea' and 'I never knew that' and I'm on my third pregnancy!" "Great advice and humour too - it tells it like it is." "Hugely reassuring because it's full of people like me, with children just like mine!" "The only parenting book I've ever bought - or needed!"
