Media Reviews
...the ideal antidote to yummy mummyism. * Sainsbury's Magazine *
An amusing set of lifestyle tips for slobs and slackers who never, ever go on 'the morning run'. * Glasgow Herald *
One of those truly laugh-out-loud books that you won't just feel at one with but which you also won't be able to put down. * Lancashire Evening Post *
...housework has never been so fun as Ross taps into those muttered rants, raves and vague suspicions we've been harboring all along. * Monsters and Critics.com *
In this exceptionally funny book, Ross acknowledges that the majority of us are not perfect women; that we leave dirty dishes in the sink, fight with out significant others and wear no make-up and sweats to the supermarket. * Literaturechick.com *
