I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut, as it always seems to get me in some kind of trouble – or at the very least earns me a withering stare. My suggestion of putting a rusk at the entrance to her lady parts to try and coax the child out met with a snigger, which [...]

So, you may have gathered through my incessant Tweeting and Facebook pimping that ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ is out now as a book, packed full of hilarious observations on pregnancy and great advice for dads! Which is why you should buy it. In the meantime, I’ve been working hard on marketing, and am waiting on a [...]

Mental note: apparently, “Sucks to be you” is not an acceptable response after your mrs grumbles about how uncomfortable she is. You may feel I’m being harsh, and I probably am; but I’ve been massaging her feet for about fifteen minutes now, and they’re so large it’s akin to rubbing suncream into a child’s back. [...]
The CBeebies episodes they refuse to film (‘cos of the kids…)

If you’re a parent of young children, as I am, you will most likely be familiar with the kids’ shows on CBeebies. Some are good (whatever happened to Space Pirates?), but most are very, very bad. Here are a number of episodes of shows that I’d love to see, but will never be filmed (not [...]

Today’s the day! ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts: The Diary of a Newborn Dad’ is now officially released! I would smash a bottle of champagne against the side of my laptop like they do when launching ships, but it’d just get incredibly messy and totally not worth it. The book is now available to purchase via Lulu, [...]

This week began by a trip to the hospital. Jess’ hands and feet had swelled so much her toes looked like they warranted their own biceps, and as well as this she was feeling really ill. I rang the local hospital for advice, and they told us to go down to get it checked out, [...]
Week Thirty Five: Public Enemy No.1

Jess is actually beginning to resent me a bit. I know! Me, of all people! I’ve been nothing but charming. It’s because she wants to be skinny and fit. I’m neither, having recently grown a second chin and often hyperventilating during the walk from the house to my car; but I’m still skinnier and fitter [...]
