Its time for a w(h)ine
God, shes funny Jilly Cooper

Oh, for f*cks sake muttered Claire under her breath, as she opened the fridge to see what she could find for a no effort dinner. The children continued to fight behind her. They regarded any form of fish not encased in breadcrumbs as toxic, and were resistant enough to the delicious homemade fishfingers Claire had made for them, insisting they much preferred Captain Birdseyes version. White wine was starting to look like quite an appealing dinner actually. Maybe just a small glass.

Are you having wine, Mum You know youre not supposed to have wine every night. We did about alcohol units at school. Thats quite a big glass of wine, how many units do you think are in it

Bet the bastards didnt tell you that wine is remarkably good at cancelling out whining though, did they muttered Claire.

Claires family has gone nuclear. Her precious moppets keep calling Childline when she feeds them broccoli, shes utterly Ottolenghied out at weekends, and her darling husband is having an affair with her best friend.

The question isnt whether she needs a glass of wine, but is there one big enough

Enter the Sauvignon Sisterhood, a new set of friends brought together by a shared love of liquid therapy. Together they might just be able to convince Claire that, like a good bottle of red, life really can get better with age. Or at least theres more to it than the joy of an M&S non-iron school uniform.

Praise for Gill Sims

God, shes funny Jilly Cooper

Honest and very funny its a tale that mums will identify with The Sun

Simss latest offering is a hilarious follow-up to her bestselling debut youd be forgiven for thinking the blogger behind Peter and Jane couldnt pull it off twice but she has The Sunday Post

Witty, relevant and bitingly sarcastic Gill Sims nails the aspects of modern family life that drive us crazy but which also make us who we are Sunday Express Magazine
