Sunday Times columnist India Knight will be joining us here on Monday 2nd July from 9-10pm for a live chat. India has just published her first children's book 'The Baby' which is about a big brother's relationship with his new baby sister - an absolute must for second-time parents. If you can't make the chat you can post your questions in advance here.
Hope to see you here on Monday.

Also a big fan, I'm trying to think of a witty and original question. Hmmm.....

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/06/2007 18:50

MrsBadger · 29/06/2007 18:55

She's my role model in the narrow field of Shopping Guruism...

Aloha · 29/06/2007 18:56

I really liked 'The Shops'.

edam · 29/06/2007 18:56

She was brilliant over the whole Gina Ford debacle, very supportive. So I'm pleased she's coming on.

india knight - phenomenal. I saw her on Matthew Wright v briefly and since then I can actually hear her in my head when reading her books. Of which I have three.

Will hopefully be here on Monday.

Aitch · 30/06/2007 00:37

i like 'er. although the diet looks like a right pita.

Aitch · 30/06/2007 00:38

and o'hagan is good too, even if he has a touch of the student priest about him.

Laredo · 01/07/2007 18:43

Dear India.
many thanks for your fantastic diet - have lost over a stone so far and feel great. Only trouble is my darling husband has put on 3/4 of a stone. We sent for Dr Bernsteins as mentioned in pigtotwig but it is very complicated and seems to need medical input. Any ideas for the way forward for him? Do you know anyone who could support us with his way forward - he is insulin dependent for over 25 yrs? I am loathe to cook two different meals but feel I may have to, one with and one without cream etc.... What do you think?
also, should my pee be lime green? (a lot of the time) I feel great!!.....
Many thanks to you for such an easy diet to follow.

I like India Knight - often disagree with her ST column but love a good shout at the paper on a Sunday morning
Have a question though - IK has often spoken out against older mothers. What does she think are the differences between older and younger mothers?

oooh, good one mmj! I really, really loathed india's books mainly for that reason. Would really love to know how she feels about it now.

Pan · 02/07/2007 06:46

Is it India Knight who made her divorce a regular feature, blow-by-intimate-blow in the newspaper she was writing at the time? Little by way of confidentiality. A bit poor.

IF not, deeeeepest apologises.
