They’re all really nice. And it’s always been my experience that the best-looking women are riddled with insecurities about themselves – hence why they never leave the house without being made-up to the nines. It takes a bit of confidence, I think, to leave the house looking a mess like I do!

I’m not a Boden mum but I always do my hair and make-up before the school runs, usually because I’m going out or going to work straight after. I have 3 children age 5, 4 and almost 1, and my mornings are spent running around like a manic woman getting them ready and making packed lunches. I spend about 6 minutes getting myself ready (a finely tuned routine). Not many of the mums talk to me at school and now you’ve made me wonder if it’s because I make an effort. Shame, as I love making new friends.

I’m a bloke, by the way, but I too have a habit of seeing the yummy mummies in my area and judge – all pulling up in their Range Rovers, Mulberry handbags and biceps strong enough to lift the precious metals on their fingers.

Although it shows how a guy thinks – I thought Boden made kitchens or bathrooms…..

They have fancy-pants machines to help them with hair and make-up, and they put their babies into stasis while they’re getting ready. That’s how they do it. Ahem.

I admire yummy mummies, I think if they want to spend time making themselves look good then go for it. Personally, I’ve not ever been a high gloss kinda gal, and I think it’s great that some people are. What I don’t like are smug, competitive mummies who aspire to make other parents feel bad about themselves, and I’ve encountered quite a few of them, the bastards.

While I do try to embrace the sisterhood and be supportive of my fellow female in all cases, sometimes the urge to ‘bitch’ and banter is too strong. Hoping I’ve not said anything too out of line!

Absolutely, you never can tell!

My daily uniform consists off ancient yoga trousers and stretchy tops (almost all some shade of grey) as I’m still breast feeding. If I have to go out I’ll stick on the only pair of jeans I have that fit (£18 from Next four years ago) and a pair of black pumps. I have worn make up exactly three times since starting my maternity leave back in November.’ Read more… […]

Say hello, and say hello to everyone, and you’ll never be lacking in parents to chat to at the school gates.
