Live chat with Sheherazade Goldsmith Wednesday June 18th 1-2pm

[carriemumsnet]

You magazine eco columnist and editor of a Slice of Organic Life, Sheherazade Goldsmith, will be joining us for an online chat to share her green tips on Wednesday June 18th from 1-2pm. Sheharazade is an eco mum with three children under ten. She's launching the Peter Rabbit Naturally Better initiative which sees the well-loved Beatrix Potter creation become the first ever licensed character to go green.

Created in 1893, the naughty little rabbit is the oldest licensed children's character in the world and this new initiative reflects the importance that Beatrix Potter placed on the natural world and the environment.

If you can't make it on Weds, you can post your questions in advance here. Otherwise, we'll see you with your organic salads (home grown of course ) on weds lunchtime.

Hi

Back up from the country, nice to see so many of you are interested in my private life.

fwiw I believe him when he says that he was just organising a charity poker event, poking is after all a very complex thing - that is what my Zaccy told me and I have no reason to doubt him.

I can't wait for my chat on Wednesday, don't make the questions to long will you, I have to go and get my nails done afterwards

Laters Losers

Blimey, she can't possibly come and do this live chat thing now! She's been ripped to shreds.

OK shall we make up and be nice?

Of course she can. People can be nice when she's on line. She still needs publicity for the book presumably.

Except this is the thread she is supposed to be answering questions on! And surely she will read it. Would you come and do a nicey nicey chat after reading stuff like this? I bloody wouldn't!
(I agree with every word by the way)

Lol at the idea of Mumsnetters 'being nice when she's on line'!
It ain't gonna happen.

Why would anyone sign up to ask her questions. Who cares what she has to say? It's totally weird of MN to put her on here,
She's a fundamentally uninteresting woman. It'll be that Colleen woman next.

Actually think this and the bunting thread is very revealing about the gulf between the women that the glossy media think we love and our real feelings. How has this arisen? Why the arselicking by certain sections of the media of people with no talent or skill and who are nothing without their connections, looks or money? What does this say about our society?

nkf - I quite agree. I fail to see what Sheherazade Goldsmith has achieved that could be of interest to MNers. She was fortunate to be born and to marry into prosperity. That's all.

Justine is going to make you lot stay behind after class and do lines

Is that all?

I'd have liked a good beating, personally

oh anna you are so French

You lot all are bastards.

I bet it's taken Shezza all week to save enough goat's farts to sustain the power on her eco-friendly laptop for the chat on Wednesday, and you lot have ruined it for her

fuck Shezza

I demand a live chat with Darthvader who has been superb on this thread

Xenia's question about why Schh-you-know-who tolerated Zac's adultery reminds me of Mrs Merton asking Debbie McGee what first attracted her to millionaire Paul Daniels.

Darth is the anti-bunty cupcake Jeremy Paxman.

Point taken MI

Many women tolerate adultery Xenia - you think them all interesting then? Interesting. I'll remember that for future reference.

Being veggie is very good for being green BTW.

But all this talk of organic at the time of the credit crunch is a bit daft really. That has to be the first thing to go for many if not most who need to cut back. Never mind eating organic - just eating properly.

Have been offMN for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages... please someone tell me they've lined up a cunting bupcake question for her?

re whether or not she'll turn up - surely, far more interesting, is whether or not any of us will turn up. entertaining as this thread has been and filled with brilliant questions, in all honesty, I couldn't give a monkey's arse what she has to say on any of this. I really really couldn't. I would turn up for chats with genuinely interesting people who have achieved amazing things, people whose life I can relate to, people with interesting jobs, people who have faced huge challenges, and/or people who can have an impact on my life. in fact, thinking about it, I do. most nights. this is mumsnet and it's full of intelligent, eloquent, interesting people, not some dippy cross between Hello! magazine and fluffy-bunnies-r-us-net. tell her there's been a terrible mistake.

I don't know if the Sunday Mirror story was true, none of us could know that. The personal decision of whether to stay or leave is presumably a very difficult one for all women. I don't like to see public support by the spouse of the errant spouse because it looks so dreadful and subservient - look at the Eliot Spitzer's wife etc and all those politicians' wives hauled out before the media to play happy families when someone is caught with his or her trousers down. It's particularly nasty if they have young children I always think. Fine you've reached an accommodation and are both going off a bit in looks, bit fat, into your mid 40s or 50s and turning a blind eye etc but if you're young and fit and coping with small babies and one has time despite sleepless nights to play away that probably means he or she is not doing their fair share of child care, otherwise why do they have the time or opportunity.

Anyway let's hope it was just an untrue press rumour.

c'n we have Kelvin Mackenzie?

oops - this thread has unstickied itself again!

Can we please not have Kelvin Mackenzie. I fear there may be overcrowding and much passing out in Flouncers' Corner if he is ever invited on.

we will not turn up

We will be eating trifle in honour of OJ's Steve - it is his funeral that day

That is far more relevent to MNers mostly....
