Whist I was writing this book I also...

Became a snowboarding chick (sort of).

Invested in Kevlar re-enforced padded underwear (see above).

Rode pillion on a motorbike.

Seriously considered a tattoo and a boob job – dismissed them both.

Threw away my entire wardrobe.

Watched my baby take his first steps and listened as he learned to talk.

Bought a Kenwood Smoothie maker, five-portions-of-fruit-and-veg-per-day-R-Us.

Sat in a hot tub, at night time, whilst snow fell around me.
