Why you must NEVER fall out with your cleaner. I learned the hard way (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perhaps it’s my fault for having five children, five dogs and two cats (plus four chickens and one horse, though they can’t be held responsible for Lego on the floor and fistfuls of fur on the sofa). My house is a perma-mess. And this, surely, is why cleaners keep sacking me. For the great unspoken rule of the merry-go-round that is hiring and, crucially, keeping a cleaner is that your house must essentially be pristine before they come. When we first moved into our six-bedroom Essex farmhouse,
Why Norfolk is the new Cornwall - thanks to fewer drunken teenagers! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As children we would look forward to the long stretch of summer spent in Harlyn Bay in North Cornwall where we spent hours swimming and rockpooling. We would drive down from our home in Bisley in the Cotswolds, the same village as Jilly Cooper. And we weren’t the only ones. Cornwall was practically Cotswolds-on-Sea in those days with the whole Gloucestershire set making their way down, many of whom may have inspired some of my good friend Jilly’s characters. Friends would come and stay and we wo
This is why I treat my 'favourite' child differently: SYBILLA HART (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As my seven-year-old son Benny finally drifts off to sleep, I lie beside him in contented bliss. I read him a bedtime story every night to help him feel sleepy and rarely leave until he drops off. Until he was four – yes, four – I breastfed him whenever he needed comfort too. I indulged his every whim. You might assume that Benny is an over-indulged only child. Far from it. In fact, Benny is the youngest of my five children – all of whom accuse me of holding him in particular esteem as my ‘favou

When I was 13 and at boarding school, a friend wrote me a note saying that she couldn’t be my pal any more. The reason? She was jealous of me and felt this was bringing out the worst in her (I already knew she had been talking about me behind my back). Her note – which was tremendously self-aware, to be fair – said it was too hard to be friends with someone who had ‘everything’. She was jealous that I had lots of beauty products and trendy clothes, even though I did share these with her. I’m not
Why I'll never hire a professional nanny again: SYBILLA HART (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With a baby, toddler and an unruly four-year-old all under one roof, I decided in an attempt to stay sane and emerge from my house minus mashed potato in my hair that I needed some help in the form of a childminder or au pair after the birth of my third child. But oh, how wrong was I? Throughout the last eight years, it has often felt like I've been left babysitting another child instead of some blessed childcare relief. One long-standing nanny of ours who we had on an adhoc basis for several ye
