I thought I'd catch you up on some of the more interesting responses to all the publicity around the rise British mummy blogging....
Andrex contacted me about the launch of their new "Puppy Points" scheme. The trolley dash sounded like loads of fun, but since I don't have any pets I politely declined. Of course I felt silly when hubby informed me that Andrex make toilet tissue and they have adorable lab pups on their label (I buy the cheapest I can find at Tesco so hadn't noticed this before).
Another PR company was looking for an influential mother for a spokesperson for their unnamed campaign. This would include radio and some press quotes. This really made me laugh as I can't influence my own four-year-old to avoid wiping her nose on her shirt sleeve (gross I know). But hey, I guess she saw potential...
But the best was my youngest daughter's response to my photo in the FT: "mummy you look like grandma".
