We asked Cathey Briars, one of our new tribe of Funny Mummies based in Liverpool, whose own very funny website can be found at www.myfunnymummy.org to pen a few words to introduce herself. Here's what she has to say:
"One woman. One baby. One blog. No idea.
"My Funny Mummy is written by me –a mind blowingly hilarious, stonkingly intelligent and unfeasibly attractive manifestation of all things magical and modest.
"I’m 28. I worry about whether I’ll make 29.
"I could tell you the name of my first goldfish or that I am obsessed with picking chunks of hard skin off my feet, but you don’t care about that. My blog is funny. My blog is intimidatingly attractive and devastatingly alluring. My blog is a daily counselling session which allows me to air the mental torment that is my first year as an impatient, perpetually late, non-maternal new mum.
"You’ll love it. Honest. By me.
"This blog is not fluffy or gentle or idealistic. I don't pretend anything; certainly not that giving up your world to be a parent comes naturally or, heaven forbid, easily. I write with the intention of celebrating and laughing at the stress, the rush, the suspicious stains, the ungodly smells, the incessant wiping and the knock you off your feet love I have found being a new family definitely does mean.
"It's fine. I'm coping. Honest.
"Oh great – my pants are on fire. Typical."
