Guardian columnist and author Tim Dowling is joining us for a webchat next Thursday (5 June) between 1 and 2pm. It's his second visit to MNHQ; he last joined us back in 2008 for a Mumsnet bookclub webchat about his novel The Giles Wareing Haters' Club. This time he's going to be chatting about his latest book, How to be a Husband.

How To Be A Husband is a very funny - and genuinely touching - anatomy of Tim's 20 year relationship with his wife. Regular readers of Tim's column, in which she figures as an exasperated witness to his attempts to master family life, will be pleased to hear that she has agreed to answer a couple of questions too. So if you have something to ask her, do post it here - Tim will be reading out her answers (which he won't previously have seen) in a video we'll post after the webchat.

Come and chat to Tim next Thursday (5 June) at 1pm or post a question for him in advance on this thread.

I so wanted to be in the office for this but I am hungover indisposed

Your piece about attending the school leavers' assembly for one of your boys made me properly cry when I read it the first time. Are you dreading an empty nest when all your chimps have left home?

Tim, gather you did a similar webchat on the Guardian site yesterday - how did that experience compare? We're better aren't we?

Hello all

Here's the video of Tim reading out his wife's answers to some of the questions you asked her further up the thread.

And here is Tim reading an extract from 'How To Be A Husband' - on the horror of family mealtimes.

We worked him pre-tty hard today ...
