So, it's just another Friday evening. I got the train home early, stopped by Tesco to pick up something for the school cake sale, popped a pizza in the oven for the girls' tea and spoke with Sarah Jessica Parker for a half hour! BritMums were supposed to talk with …
I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of spiders. I just don’t like sharing my bed with one. Or ten, which is about how many I’ve seen prancing around the house in the past 24 hours. Last night I was curled up under the covers, just getting into my crisp new copy of Julie …

I met Brandi Chastain on the plane on my way to BlogHer11. At the time, I didn’t know she was possibly the most well-known women’s footballer in the world, and that upon kicking the winning goal for the US Team in the 1999 World Cup, she ripped off her shirt …
I've just had the most bizarre 48 hours.
It started with my flight to BlogHer11. I booked the first flight out, not really thinking about the ramifications (like having to get up at 4 am.)

Last night I went to the HuffPost UK launch. In case you don't know, The HuffPost is a popular news site in the US, covering everything from politics to fashion to family life. Their model is to have "influential and knowledgeable minds" contribute posts to a blog style store front. The amazing thing is that people like Sarah Brown, Alastair Campbell and Ricky Gervais, all contribute. For free.
I've been asked to be a contributor, and honestly I've never been so excited to do something for nothing.
The main feature of the launch at Millbank Tower was this bizarre panel that included Richard Bacon, Alastair Campbell, Celia Walden, Kelly Osbourne and Arianna Huffington, the brains behind the HuffPost. They talked about current events, mainly phone hacking and super injunctions. It was very Question Time confrontational, and sort of entertaining, but the highlight was the cool Twitter stream that was projected on the big screen behind the panel.
Read all about my *lack* of beauty routine over at the Tesco Magazine site. I can help myself contributing all these articles. What a link monger, I know. While you are at it, enter their competition for their beauty awards, where you can enter a prize draw for a chance to …
