Reading this book, I think Lucy Beaumont is the mum I would love to have bumped into at mum and baby groups. She talks candidly here about the ups and downs of being a new mum, not least the pressures we often pile upon ourselves. From TV’s award-winning comedy mum, Lucy Beaumont, comes her hilarious debut on the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Variations: Can use bourbon, whiskey, or rum each alone, or in combination with sherry, cognac, or brandy, if desired. Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this brilliant and laugh-out-loud ‘mumoir’. Mums everywhere will recognise the madness of it all. Like when Lucy was hospitalised during her third trimester with chest pains but it turned out to be a burrito. Or when she was so tired at the park she forgot her own child’s name. This read like a daily list of what happened, with frequent reminders of how tired she was which may have impacted her memory as she also mentions her famous husband, a lot.I have enjoyed Lucy’s comedy on TV so I bought this. Maybe I’d have enjoyed an audio version or wasn’t in comedic mood to self deliver any wit here. There were some laugh out loud parts and a few relatable bits that we've all been through as parents! The hormones, the buggy shopping before baby arrives and the dreaded mum and baby groups! This book is subtitled “Diary of a Confused Mum”, and this truly is an account of the reality of becoming a parent, in all its bewildering, messy and downright daft detail. The author is a comedian and writer, and also married to Jon Richardson - the couple recently appeared in a comedy programme “Meet the Richardsons” - so there is huge amount of humour throughout, even if it is often self-deprecating. This is not a guide to parenting, though there is much that Beaumont feels she ought to offer to others in terms of advice, and those with experience of coping with life with a baby and small child will recognise a lot of the content.

I found some of the material was used as filler and didn't add very much. I found myself skipping parts. Add sherry, bourbon or brandy, if desired. It’s also good as a sauce for poundcake or angel food cake. I give Drinking Custard Diary Of A Confused Mum By Lucy Beaumont (With interruptions from Jon Richardson) a Five out of Five paw rating. At times with the newborn and toddler we could relate... and last night it was only after reading this that I remembered to take my bra off as we had been dealing with a Huffy Gabbie as to why she could not take her Easter Bumble Bee to bed with us ( it squeaks and rustles plus her Brother had already destroyed his Sloth and was eyeing Stripes ( name of Bumble Bee) up next! In addition to making your favorite baked goods taste delicious, this ingredient has some amazing health benefits that are worth noting.My only experience of raising children is being a fairly surprised 15 year old when Mum announced she was ‘with child’ over dinner and now daily Facetime chats with this ‘child’ who has 2 of his own under 3, I love the chats but am no parent and am pleased to press the ‘End’ button when the noise gets too loud…..that’s my experience so I started this book not knowing really what to expect and am soooo pleased I went way out of my usual genre, I am still smiling as I write this!
