Drinking Custard: The Diary of a Confused Mum

Product Information

I highly recommend you step away from Instagram and grab this book instead – with or without a tin of custard! That said, one of the anecdotes I did find funny was the idea of a toddler asking her gran for a breakfast smorgasbord. Beaumont lived with Jon in Surbiton and became a tad obsessed with how she appeared to the other women.

Following in the footsteps of other comedians' books, this touched on the matter of class along with comedic diary-style entries. We read about Lucy's hospital stint during her third trimester, courtesy of an ill-fated burrito; and the near-miss with her hypnobirthing instructor that almost ended in a slapstick showdown.This was mostly a series of funny anecdotes, which is where I feel like it makes for the perfect audiobook experience.

Heating: Bringing this just to a boil essentially “cooks” the egg enough that it isn’t considered raw any longer. To me, for a diary to have wider appeal than the author and immediate family, it needs some broader relevance or educational aspect (think Pepys), or be genuinely witty more than twice (think Back to Better by Annabelle Z Morris or Bridget Jones). Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). and last night it was only after reading this that I remembered to take my bra off as we had been dealing with a Huffy Gabbie as to why she could not take her Easter Bumble Bee to bed with us ( it squeaks and rustles plus her Brother had already destroyed his Sloth and was eyeing Stripes ( name of Bumble Bee) up next! This means preparing local organic foods (but don't ask me to give up coffee), growing fun fruits and veggies (except when my CSAs do it better), and keeping a wishlist that includes backyard geese.was this close to slapping her hypno-birthing instructor, to finding herself drinking a whole pint of custard in one sitting. I just put some of my latest boiled custard in a quart jar to share with my oldest even before reading this. I’d recommend this to anyone who has embarked on the parenting journey only to wonder – even if only occasionally – what on earth they are doing. Publishers, authors, blog tour organisers kindly entrust me with books, in-exchange of an honest review. I picked this up after binge watching Meet The Richardsons, and so the idea of Lucy Beaumont narrating a memoir felt perfect.
