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.

Peter Rabbit goes green - ah yes, thats the colour the carcass goes when its been hung long enough for the skin to come off easily isn't it ?

Or it is referring to a more eco friendly method of rabbit control than gassing ? Perhaps ferreting ?

And geese are EVIL buggers. Thats why people don't keep them so much - apart from as guard geese

Ferrets may be a hitherto underused eco-tool

er what is so good about geese unless you like being pecked on the ar$se?

Fantastic thread, well done vipersladeez

Wtfkingf is this woman doing on mn?

geese are v tasty (as are rabbits)

I suppose asking her about her husband's alleged affair with his brother's SIL is off limits

But geese are best bought dead from someone else who has made their fingers bleed from plucking them.

Guess who thought they'd earn themselves some serious Christmas wonga aged 14 by buying 5 geese ? Never repeated.

his brothers sil??? explain

god oto hard for my head after a glass of new Zealand riesling

old article here Do feel a bit sorry for shadenfraulein at this point I suppose.

SO inappropriate for Mumsnet. Bring back serious people with answers to important questions. I find it rather insulting in fact that this Mrs Goldsmith was even suggested. So reassuring to read everyone's comments.(frequent lurker and occasional poster Quaranta departs most hugely enjoyable Mumsnet thread of the week and continues reading her Grazia.)

It's sticky again. It's sticky, then it's not, now it is again. I'm perplexed by the yo-yo-ing.

Surely she will take a glance and kick her lap top into the Thames?

I see she has a new book coming out in Sept - A Greener Christmas

oh no i was going to specifically ask about the sense of giving ridiculous presents to huge numbers of "frriends" ...well i touched on it earlier, and the lack of greenness in so doing^

PS is there a place on Mumsnet for suggesting people for live webchats ?

I wish all you bitches would stop being so unpleasant about me.

You don't know how difficult it is to be such an eco-warrier when all I really want to do is shop for beautiful clothes

If I get enough sales from my new book I won't have to rely on that philanderer of a husband and will have some of my own money in the bank

Please be kind to me, I am a mum after all, and I think my children like sausage rolls and fruit shoots, I must ask them, just remind me of their names would you?

I think all you girls should stop being so beastly to my SIL.

She can't help being rich and and searching for meaning in her life (I know what I'm talking about, believe me )

god mn is funny sometimes^

d'you think she'll turn up?^

good work everyone your questions are making me larf and larf. 167 messages and not one single positive one. hehehe

What do you mean not one positive?

MINE IS!!!!

Shezzy sweetie, don't rise to the bait so... they are all just frightfully ...

oh, this is like a dream come true.

im afraid you dont count as clearly no-one wants to hear anything you have to say

most amusing! but what's this about germaine greer selling out? leave germaine alone!
scheherazade (does it rhyme with lucozade? ie scherr eh zayde)
do people call her sadie?

why oh why were my parents so boringly provincial and got married before I was born 30 odd years ago and most damningly of all,why did they call me Mary?

why isn't my life a whirl of fabulous names but oh no, My Mum is Mary, my dh is Mark so our destiny was clearly written in the gutter..

If she turns out to have a sense of humour and really genuine I'm going to be really fecked off contrite.

it'll be terribly disappointing if thats the case bunting.
