MP I have given a great deal of my time on this site to sharing with so many people my excellent child-rearing techniques. There was the leash restraint and cage idea, and then the 'wouldn't it be great if the world was made of cheese strings' breakthrough. I am shocked at my exclusion. Wounded.

I think there should be an appendix, or end papers entirely dedicated to ME. I shall however insist everyone I know with a toddler buy this book. As I am generous and not at all bitter. [bitter]

I do actually think it's quite exciting this book. And, other than ONE obvious lapse of judgement, think you've done a tip top job and you should be proud.

portandlemon I am ALWAYS dreaming that GF moves into the house next door

I actually walked into Waterstone's this morning, thought "what am I looking for?", couldn't remember so had a cup of tea and an almond croissant. I may try again this afternoon (although might wind up with a cappuchino and a chocolate twist at this rate).

Didn't you write that "how it felt to be at the centre of the SWMNBN storm" article under an assumed name, mp?

So now will SWMNBN and her legions of fans be able to identify you after all and hunt you down?

Is MN paying for your bodyguard?

[Disclaimer: I am sure SWMNBN would not personally do anything requiring you to have a bodyguard. Or anything in the least bit violent or militaristic]

Cos she is the ghost writer - does all the work but gets none of the credit
