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.

Hat for LL

Yes I think we were too actually. Was worried about that. Tinge of sadness in the husband/nanny thing too.

stressteddy · 02/07/2007 22:09

so we're bothered about being rude to celebs but not to each other??

tiredemma · 02/07/2007 22:09

I was unaware of India Knight, except for the odd few links that Cod puts up.

She seems cool and good fun.

Will look out for her articles in future.

Quattrocento · 02/07/2007 22:09

Thought she was happy to help with the SN stuff and perhaps felt a bit of bond? It wasn't all bad 100x. And it was only an hour.

mosschops30 · 02/07/2007 22:10

there is something great about this thread thats ive wanted to see for a long time, utterly hilarious, wonder if the rest of you spotted it, classic MN history

Great read though I like her.

ahundredtimes · 02/07/2007 22:10

It's like she was a guest or something, and we weren't very hospitable. Oh well, she doesn't care, that's the main thing. I always tell myself this, about everything, because I feel responsible for everything.

Wotznot2know · 02/07/2007 22:10

LL - They have train stations If I were still a southern girl I'd give you a lift. Sorry too far to come. Hats, you really should try on, not buy online, very tricky!

tiredemma · 02/07/2007 22:11

I think I know what you mean Mosschops

Quattrocento · 02/07/2007 22:11

Oh do share Mossy. 100x needs cheering up and I have to go interview a prospective au pair.

charlieandlola · 02/07/2007 22:11

But, she solved a few mn dilemmas:

Crocs are Out
Eating Grapes in a supermarket is Not Stealing
SAHM v WOHM - yawn - live and let live

How could she not enjoy it?

Rubyslippers · 02/07/2007 22:11

i thought she seemed ok with everything
she answered all the questions
she was pretty feisty too
hope she doesn't feel upset as i think most people on this thread are big fans of hers

ahundredtimes · 02/07/2007 22:11

I am Not Responsible for India Knights Happiness.

Every day in every way I become a less responsible person.
Where's Cod? I'm going to blame everything on her. Not that there is anything to blame or feel guilty about obviously.

WendyWeber · 02/07/2007 22:12

I thought she read as if she enjoyed herself - it was invigorating at least

mosschops30 · 02/07/2007 22:14

tiredemma, it was fun for a change yes??

(thanks for the voucher BTW)

Boco · 02/07/2007 22:16

I'm sure she was fine 100x - no one was rude to her, just a little hectic and random, but not mean.

She said early on that she could't get worked up or upset about what a stranger said or thought - she seems a well balanced and solid sort - i think there was far more gushing and compliments than anything else.

Relax, i'm sure she enjoyed it.

tiredemma · 02/07/2007 22:16

Ah glad you got it eventually- I found two more if you want them? let me know.

Quattrocento · 02/07/2007 22:18

She sat firmly on the fence on the Blyton thing, 100x, didn't she?

Wotznot2know · 02/07/2007 22:19

journalist normally have skin thicker than a rhinos, otherwise they wouldn't be journalists! Water off a ducks back I am sure. India is probably having a lovely dinner with guest who are all whopping it up!

ahundredtimes · 02/07/2007 22:19

Okay, yes you're right Boco. Was fine.

Am foolish this way.

Thought it was me who usually worries unduly about everyone elses feelings - and you 100x wave a hand and say oh do give over or something like that.

lapin
does that mean she did or didn't have the measure?

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 02/07/2007 22:24

Plinth?
