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.

But, India, they're already paid in Child Tax Credits. Besides, then there's still that gaping hole in the CV that burns a hole in your career.

And where is this garden party, exactly, ll???? I think India needs to know

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 02/07/2007 21:45

India - David Tennant - what do you think - sexy or er not?

Sparkletastic · 02/07/2007 21:46

India - though I value your opinions on serious parenting issues....what I really want to know is what is your all-time fave beauty product?!

it's not unlike one that mary archer wore when she was pulling the fragrant flower stunt in court. with a touch of lindy chamberlain.

expatinscotland · 02/07/2007 21:46

He's a MUNTER, saggar. I've been telling you that for years. Give it up!

Sniff/UCM: I find whole SAHM/working mum debate really, really depressing. I think women should do what they want to do. If they want to stay at home, that's really, really great - and nobody should talk to them like they've been lobotomised. If they want to go to work, that is also really great, and no one should talk to them like they're Cruella De Vil. I wish everyone would RELAX. It's not a bloody competition. A happy mother makes for a happy child.

UCM · 02/07/2007 21:47

I do, IK, but I want stuff to be available to everyone who has under 5's.

indiaknight · 02/07/2007 21:48

Sparkle - changes every day. At mo is mineral foundation. Go to lilylolo.co.uk, where you can get samples for 99p. 99p! It is AMAZING stuff. You walk around looking airbrushed. Plus, all wholesome & crap-free, so you sleep in it too.

UCM · 02/07/2007 21:48

Well said IK! I am bloody sure you are a mumsnetter.

sniff · 02/07/2007 21:48

I think thats a great answer probably because i agree !!!!

done both and enjoyed both

Whoooosh · 02/07/2007 21:48

SO-will you stay and be an undercover Mumsnetter like some other slebs???

expatinscotland · 02/07/2007 21:48

I'm beyond needing airbrushed. I need Botox.

1Troll · 02/07/2007 21:49

Mary Archer wasnt floral, I think the word was Fragrant.

hatwoman · 02/07/2007 21:49

india - do you seriously think that about nannies and husbands? do you really not know anyone who (regardless of whether or not they are beautiful or succesful) are in a fully happy, confident, trusting relationship where infidelity simply doesn;t enter their thoughts?

indiaknight · 02/07/2007 21:49

PI: I love it A LOT

cornsilk · 02/07/2007 21:49

India - you've been critical in your column of young babies that go to nursery. What do you think is the best option for full time working mums?

ProjectIcarus · 02/07/2007 21:49

Mary had many fragrnat ourfits iirc.
