Why? Has it not all been said before?....People either love her or hate her....and often have an opinion whether they have read the books properly or not!

Because of Nick Clegg..

MummyTumble · 11/01/2010 11:53

still the same old for and against argument though isn;t it..

Sure - but if you're new to motherhood and therefore didn't listen the first time round with the arguments, you might still welcome the opportunity to debate?

Fair enough! Hadn't thought of it like that. She tends to get peoples emotions wound up i think you;re better off reading for yourself and making your mind up from there.

When i was a first time mummy, I thought she sounded an absolute nightmare...then a few years later actually picked up a book and it didn't seem too bad! Everything with a pinch of salt and all that, as with all advice......Any ideas that may help are good IMO. You don't have to stick to them....

I know. With dd I was obsessed about being a failure at getting her into a routine. With ds I didn't give two hoots, and it was much happier as a result!

I was opposite with DS i was all over the place, too laid back and the days were a nightmare (and nights), her ideas helped me get my head around what i could fit into a day (with dd to look after too) and just made me sit back and organise a little, but be flexible too!

Fern's show sounds like MN! GF, school closures... Enjoying show, but prefer Jeremy.

LOL it does doesn't it

Maybe she could run a feature on troll identifying?

And seriously, is that woman really from Steeple Bumford? Is that where Bunty Cupcakes is from?

i think they should actully get Gina and Nick inot the studio together...much more interesting.

And I don't love or hate Gina.

Or Nick, for that matter.
