Product Description

Product Description

The capture of Osama Bin Laden, the royal wedding, Jeremy Clarkson, Ryan Giggs and the plight of the travelling-folk, this hilarious diary takes you through real events during 2010 and 2011 as seen by a rather opinionated single mum.

Woven in with the current affairs commentary is the story of Single-Mum, The Teenager, Annabelle and Hector the dog.

The diary picks up real parenting situations and real problems faced by anybody attempting to bring order to the chaos that is the life of a single parent.

Single-Mum makes no apology for the scrapes she gets herself into and as a result, her diary is a reassuring, laugh-out-loud, journey through 2010 and 2011.

3.0 out of 5 stars funny but... 7 Nov 2012
By C.H: Spain
Format:Paperback
This book is very funny: I can totally understand the author's comments. In fact when I wasn't laughing I was nodding along.
However, the publisher's use of 's for plurals ended up annoying me so much that much of the enjoyment of the actual book was lost for me. I know it's pedantic, but we encourage our kids to read in order to improve their langauge skills as well as for enjoyment -if publishers cannot be bothered to get this right in printed material what hope is there for the rest of us? Just because the book is mainly for adults and not kids why should standards be lower?
This smacks of both laziness and carelesness and it's a pity as this is otherwise an enjoyable, well written descriptive book.

5.0 out of 5 stars No holds barred 27 April 2012
By workingmum
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
You know those things in life that you think but are too scared to say? This author tells it how it is. A unique book with a real-life diary format. Unusual but it works. One of those books where it will have you laughing out loud, not to mention those brilliant cringe-worthy 'Oh my god, I've soooooo done that!' moments. It's a bargain! Can't wait for this author to write the next one. Tedious Tina, ex-husbands pants and Bin Laden's bed linen .... paaaaaahaaaaaaa ... genius!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best read in a long time! 28 April 2012
By Smileychick
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's not often I can relate to authors, in this case it happened frequently. It was a funny, interesting read with lots of 'oh my god I've done that' moments. Put your feet up and be prepared to read through to the end as its impossible to put down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic Single Mum's problems 25 Jun 2012
By ACB (swansea) TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This diary takes through the day-to-day hardships of a single mother. As a doctor I was away for 60% plus of my time. Three daughters, single mum is virtually there. The narrative is hilarious and realistic enough to appreciate the problems that crop up. Fortunately, most are dealt with but the difficulties are hilariously described by the author through mum. For those faced with the complexities of single parenthood, you take the rough with the smooth but retain control. Funny and humorous with a high recommendation. Looking forward to follow-ups. This book has all the ingredients of a sequel. Laughter is a rare commodity in book-reading.
Katherine Williams has achieved this. Well done! Much recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly written 8 Jun 2012
By Hazel Owens
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was one of those books that you can't read in a crowded room as you laugh so hard you can't explain why. I loved this book from the minute I picked it up and was sad when I finished it. Can't wait to see if the author writes more.
