On-line chat with Dr Linda Papadopolous

Dr Linda Papadopolous will be joining us on Friday 12th October between midday and one o'clock for an online chat with Mumsnetters.

Linda is one of the most well-known and respected psychologists today. Known by the public for her regular appearances on TV shows such as Big Brother, Richard & Judy, GMTV and Celebrity Fit Club. She is also the resident psychologist for Cosmopolitan magazine.

Following a report conducted by Bold 2-in-1 that found that one in four mums admit to having less than ten minutes to themselves a day, Linda is helping to promote a nationwide campaign called 'me-time for mums'. She is happy to answer your questions on how to tackle the pressures of motherhood and find more 'me-time' rather than constantly feeling stretched and inadequate.

Linda will be joining us for an hour on Friday at midday, so get your questions ready and join us then.

If you're not able to join us on Friday, please post advance questions here.

Thanks, MNHQ

It has been wonderful speaking to you all, I am sorry that I wasnt able to get through all of your questions- its amazing how fast an hour goes by! Best of luck with the very important task of learning how to take care of your own needs while taking care of everyone elses, after all this is a skill that every mum should master for everyone's sake...

Bye for now
Dr. Linda

That was it??

moondog · 12/10/2007 16:10

I could have told you all that....for nowt.

PoshCod · 12/10/2007 16:11

THAT WAS IT?

MerlinsBeard · 12/10/2007 16:12

tbh those answers are what MNetters would have given

RubyShivers · 12/10/2007 16:15

she answered 6 questions

claire scott set the bar very high with the way she handled her live chat - answering all the pre-chat questions first

Flamesparrow · 12/10/2007 16:41

Very unimpressed. Claire Scott answered oodles, Dr T was just lovely so it didn't matter how many she answered.

This was just . Glad I missed it tbh.
