Product Description

When Susie's maiden aunt gives her a housekeeping journal, she expects Susie to use it for jotting down nutritious recipes and planning household budgets. But Susie has more important things on her mind ... ... Like how to keep sane while trying to control a four-year-old diva who thinks she's Judy Garland, as well as a thrill-seeking toddler with a death wish. Not to mention managing a demanding husband who expects a home-cooked meal at least once a fortnight and inconsiderate parents who seem to think luxury spa breaks are more important than spending time with their grandchildren. On top of that, there's the small matter of the Lone Father at the children's play group who is clearly smitten and Susie's passing interest in Posh'n'Becks, Wayne and Colleen, Brad'n'Jen'n'Angelina ... Susie's journal chronicles a hectic year in the life of a stay at home mother, whose one ambition is to possess an outfit that is free of snot stains.

For young mums everywhere
What a great book. If you're a busy yummy mummy or thirtysomething girl about town you'll love it. There's a little bit of Susie in all of us and all of our friends, so you'll immediately identify with the main character and soon be laughing along with her neuroses! If you like chick-lit you can't fail to enjoy it. The diary format meant I could pick the book up for a few minutes here and there - as a busy working mum to a one year old it's hard to find too much uninterrupted time to dedicated to reading, so it was ideal for me. Highly recommended.

Fantastic read for all mums
Saw a review of this in a magazine and thought that it sounded very funny so ordered from amazon.

Was by no means disappointed, This is a really easy to read book that can be picked up and put down at any point (due to being in the style of a diary) If you have children then you will love this book as it has so much that you can relate to in it. Susie the main character is really good and can easily be related to and she even changes her mind about things (as we all do at times).

Hilarious !!!
I am not a good reader,but this book was one I couldnt put down. Husband next to me in bed giving out cos my light was still on !! I totally relate with Susie's everyday adventures, I could see myself in her most of the time...because that IS the diary of us stay at home moms ! I have reccomended this book to other stay at home moms who have enjoyed it as much as me...but I left out my dearest "eco friend" friend oooppps !:o)
I can highly reccommend this book to anybody wanting a realistic but light reading. Can't wait to read another Niamh Greene's book.
