From the Back Cover:

Never marry a man you wouldn�t want to be divorced from. If the shoe doesn�t fit in the shoe store, it�s never going to fit. When your children are teenagers, it�s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you. Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five.

�Recall how hard it was last year to find a present for Mother�s Day that wasn�t yet one more box of chocolates? Remember this book. You�ll thank me. It�s perfect� Lionel Shriver, Guardian �Nobody does it funnier� Maureen Lipman �A bit like having your own clever film narrator�s voice accompanying you through the sticky bits of life: the grief of a sagging neck, the joy of a good handbag, the unremitting loss of a best friend and the effort of facing up to no longer being 50� Good Housekeeping
