It's while we say the special prayer to the mascara gods that we're not about to sneeze right after applying it.

No cups left lying around in our house, but oh my word, the socks. Husband's socks, kids' socks, even toys' socks. Oy.

Makes me think of the scene in the classic 1939 film The Women, where one man complains about his soon-to-be ex-wife taking up space, saying she was "spread out over the bed like a swastika".

I have to say, as a reasonably average 36 C woman, I have never taken my bra off when I get home. Not once. I don't mind it on or off, although I prefer my tiddies not to be hanging too low when it's hot out or you just get more underboob sweat.

I would also suggest (if you live somewhere with half-decent public transport) getting rid of your car and joining a car-sharing service instead. That way, you have access to a car if you need to go and buy something from the DIY store but you don't rely on it for short trips that… Read More

Insane! I stayed in 4 days after a C-section with my first child. Lovely room, fully catered, overlooking fields of horses and woodland. My husband and I shared a private room so we could all be together. Total cost (for him): EUR 80. For me and the baby, nothing (although our healthcare… Read More
