About the book
It’s normal for your washing machine to get more action than you, right?
I wake up, bleary-eyed. It’s been two years, six months and three hours since I last shaved my legs, and the llama-patterned knickers I’m wearing have seen better days.
We have seven minutes before the kids wake up, and my husband shuffles closer. ‘Ouch,’ he says, a piece of Lego sticking into his back.
Then, a light comes on in the landing. Small footsteps creep down the stairs. A little voice screams, ‘IS SOMEONE COMING TO MAKE BREAKFAST?!’
All hope of having some ‘alone time’ is replaced with wondering if we’ve run out of Cheerios, thinking about the overflowing laundry, and remembering that I forgot to take out the recycling. Again.
Just a typical Monday morning for the Morton family…
Except today, when I go downstairs in my dressing gown, I find something. Something belonging to my husband. Something that definitely wasn’t in the wedding vows. And it’s either going to make us… or break us.

My Review
Oh my goodness! This has got to be one of my favourite books! It is absolutely hilarious so many times I kept bursting out laughing, honestly it is so good! So many of us will be able to relate to this. Such an easy to read book that you will just devour in one sitting it is impossible to put it down.
This is the first I have read from this author and it certainly won’t be the last, I can’t wait to read the next book! The way things are going she will definitely become a favourite author of mine.
Blooming marvellous!
