I’ve decided that this year I need to put more effort into selling my books, hence the relentless plugging during ‘One Born Every Minute’ each Wednesday, which I’m sure has bugged the heck out of many a follower. Anyway, there are two great ways at the moment that you can go about buying my books [...]

Five Reasons Why Parenthood is Rubbish
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dads, mums, parenthood, parenting, stress on January 13, 2012 | 3 Comments »
You know when an Earth Mother comes up to you whilst you’re minding your own business? You can hear the swoosh of her grass skirt as she sidles up to you, the gentle pat-pat-pat of her woven sandals. You’re not in the mood to talk, instead using a finger to try and pry a LEGO [...]
If we didn’t have kids…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged children, dads, fatherhood, mums, parenting on December 17, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Most of the conversations I have with my wife begin with the words ‘If we didn’t have kids…’ In fact, so many that I even tweeted to this effect, on 20 October via Twitter for BlackBerry, as you can see. If we didn’t have kids, on a nice winter’s evening we could wander down to the castle, [...]
Damn You, Time.

“Ooh, an extra hour in bed tomorrow!” squeals a childless friend, probably single. You shoot them daggers from across the room, little caffeine-tipped blades that will condemn the victim to a night of insomnia, thus never being able to relish in the extra hour they’ve been given. Of course, children don’t follow this rule. 6am [...]
The REAL Perk of Being a Dad
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dads, fatherhood, mums, parenting on October 25, 2011 | 8 Comments »
I see a lot of tripe in the ‘blogosphere’ (shudder), especially when people talk about fatherhood. Really soppy things like ‘my heart swelled ten sizes when she took her first steps’, and ‘ooh, being a father has so wonderfully changed me, now even my trumps smell like Febreze’. The worst is ‘I’m trying to be [...]

You lucky, lucky people. Or words to that effect. ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ has done pretty well since it was published as a book back in September. It’s received great reviews and I’ve had some lovely feedback from both mums and dads, for which I honestly thank you. For the last few months I’ve been slaving [...]
The Spanish Inquisition

I’m starting to put together some ideas for a sequel to ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’, and would like to address some of the main fears that you have (or have had) as a parent. What really freaked you out once your baby was born? Was it illness? Abduction? When your little one grew older, was it [...]

Ha! You wish. Sorry chaps and chapesses, if you want the birth story (plus a tonne of other hilarious stuff) you’re going to have to buy my book. I feel like some kind of evil genius! The last nine months have been a bumpy ol’ ride, like a rollercoaster at Drayton Manor or riding down [...]

Week Thirty Eight: My lovely lady trumps

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 [...]
