At long last Sarah Chilton has finally bagged her perfect man; she can see the perfect house with the white picket fence and room for a pony coming into view and even hear the distant chime of wedding bells and the pitter patter of tiny feet. It s all going to be so wonderful well, not quite Follow the often hilarious trials and tribulations of one, ever so ordinary, Mum who is left literally holding the newborn baby, whilst trying to keep her job, home and sanity. Battling with what feels like half the cast of a Harry Potter movie, plotting her revenge against Voldermort and tackling the institutions and stigma of single motherhood all take their toll, Will it be the wine, Classic FM, TV or Prozac to the rescue?

Review

If 'Bridget Jones' had a child and then was left on her tod, this book is what would happen next, very funny and easy to read! Reminds us that life is never what we plan, but that we can take control and make it our own.

Hi, I'm Ruth Briddon, mum to Alex and daughter to our Jan and sister to Paula. All amazing people whom I lovely dearly. My life took a bit of a tumble when Alex was a baby and it shaped me in to the person I am today. I was a bit battered and bruised for a while but I decided that depression was depressing so taught myself how to recover from it.

Visit my website www.being-sarah-chilton.com for more information about me. You can also publish 'Your Plan B' in paper format or download from Amazon on to your kindle.

I am currently writing the sequel. We now refer to Chris as The Dark Lord, Sarah dates again, takes another trip to Center Parcs (will she need another pelvis reconstruction?) and Flippin Florida is still raising its ugly head.

This book should be in the bounty pack you pick up from boots (do new mums still get those?) This and an introduction to sudacrem & infacol would have saved a year of living in a hidden state of sheer panic and fear!

I've tried to share my experience of birth & new Mum paranoia with as many first timers as I can, not to frighten but reassure that you're not a freak when you find out none of the hyped dreamy mummy stuff happens for you - it does feel like everyone else is breezing through all of the crap whilst you're sinking fast! Now this wonderful author has put it so accurately into a book (kindly even including the blood transfusion - yes, me too) I will be suggesting as a must read to my (over) expectant pals... I don't really begrudge the ease some seem to naturally have with new Mum stuff, I just wish we were all a bit more open about the crap so we aren't setting up to fail!

That said, read this book if you're a parent or not because it will make snot/tea (wine) fly out of your nose! Well written with humour and poignantly accurate - for us anyway, we have a hagrid/voldermort.

Can't wait for the next instalment.... hurry up, my jojo has just turned 13...

4.0 out of 5 stars A humorous but "real" read

In the style of Bridgett Jones but more realistic. While humorous the honesty with which Ruth shares her thoughts and feelings make you really feel honoured to be allowed inside her diary. I hope that this helps Mums realise that childbirth can be really tough and help health care professionals see the needs and feelings of new Mums as just as important as the babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving, inspirational and hilarious read!

I came across this book via twitter. The blurb made me laugh. The book is billed as 'a guide to all mums when the s**t hits the fan'. As the s**t hits the fan at least as often in single dad households, I thought I'd give this novel a go. I wasn't disappointed. It was moving, hilarious and inspirational in equal measure. I laughed out loud on the tube when reading the school sports day scene and the explanation of the offside rule should be used regularly on Match of the Day. Hilarious. I am now trying to work out what my dwarf name would be!

A remarkable book in many ways. It tells the story of someone refusing to be defeated and broken by betrayal in a relationship and also, with good humour, paints the joys and sacrifices of parenthood., It is suitable for both male and female readers. A wonderful book which teaches you about yourself and how to move on from past rejection. I recommend everybody to read this and can guarantee that the reader will laugh and benefit from the experience. Thank you Sarah Chilton!
