I read a book recently, called Magpie by Elizabeth Day, about infertility and surrogacy (I enjoyed it but the reviews are terrible) and Mumsnet featured strongly.

I also read this book a few weeks ago*. I also thought it was excellent.

*Actually I didn't read it - I listened to it on audible like a normal person because I am not a barbarian.

I'm glad other people on this thread have read Magpie and enjoyed it. I checked the reviews afterwards and thought I was the only one who thought it was a good read.

This is just one of the one star reviews
Probably the worst book I have ever read. It’s like a A level essay stretched to 300 pages. It’s neither thrilling or interesting.
The most interesting part to me is the authors way of writing long words like a champion scrabble contestant that distract you from the story.

It’s been a while since S&B have spoiled us.


I’ve found the perfect accessories for a bargain price.

She wants it for a posh restaurant. Maybe she means McDonald’s have started doing kiddy parties again?

I met Su Pollard at Paddington Station once. We bonded over a really horrible man being horrible to one of the female bar staff. Can't remember what she was wearing tho!

Do we need to send out a search party around Shagging Joints of the North East to locate our @NoddyFromToytown ? I’m worried she’s trapped under a footballer or two ?

I really wish that this was what I'd been up to! Although my (newly single, supermodel looking) best mate did have a premiership footballer slide into her DMs this weekend - I kid you not.

To horrify the pearl clutchers I spent my Sunday afternoon drunk and trying on bridesmaid dresses, and have opened the wine tonight to celebrate passing a professional exam - go me I shall celebrate properly by dressing up as a cowgirl in the streets of the Toon this weekend (hen do)

Just read the plane etiquette thread and having done long haul with Lufthansa where I could barely get my tray table down with the seat in front upright I'd happily have launched her across the plane for that one! I upgraded myself to business class on the way back from backpacking in Japan (think I was depressed after realising I'm a Japan size medium) and when I say I took advantage of the free food and drink... I'd eaten breakfast on my first flight so on the connecting one I necked three breakfast martinis instead!
