My eldest daughter was attending a sports camp last week in Chiswick with a friend. She observed two mummies discussing diary dates, one with iphone in hand and one with a MUM's Diary. She came home bursting with the news. "Mummy I'm so proud of you" xxx

I can't tell you how excited and proud I felt when I saw my baby in a shop window at Westfield. Stocked by the fabulous Oliver Bonas, I really felt that we'd made it.

Do you wonder what to do with those works of art that come home from school on a weekly basis with your little ones? With No:1 daughter, who is now 13 I kept the best in an art folder. Looking through them now, paint is faded, cracked, they are dusty - what am I going to do with them now?
