Honestly, shopping beats therapy, anytime. It costs the same and you get a dress out of it.

I'm an impulse buyer. I don't really go out with a list.

I had no plans to be a writer. My teenaged bid for stardom was to be a pop star... which, ahem, didn't exactly work out.

Women need chocolate. It's a scientific fact.

We both gaze down at my swollen tummy for a while. I still can't quite get my head round the fact that there's a baby inside my body. Which has got to come out... somehow. OK, let's not go there. There's still time for them to invent something.

Rule of life. If you bother to ask someone’s advice, then bother to listen to it.

Great. Just great. One glimpse of his body and I have a full-blown crush. I honestly thought I was a bit deeper than that.
