How are you with bananas? Often people who don’t like them have latex allergy - same plant family.

Never have I enjoyed you more. My daughter told me about A Model Recommends over 10 years ago, I’ve followed you since and am a huge admirer. You manage to be glamorous yet real, and your writing is just what I need, no matter what kind of day I’m having.

Re latex allergy. Get tested. It’s really important if ever you need surgery, specially in an emergency. Enough of that for now.

I read you whole book in 8 hrs. Only took that long cos I had to walk Mr Jarvis Cockapoo, got to the loo & make dinner. I ate with the Kindle on the table next to me!

Brava👏👏👏

Ha, and ouch. Er, what’s the connection with cherry tomatoes, Ruth?!

I have four books queued to read on my Kindle, and yours won out! Read till my eyes drooped last night. So entertaining. Also loved listening to you in conversation with Sam Baker on her podcast (@theshiftwithsambaker).

Ah thanks so much! So pleased to hear that. Also loved being on Sam's podcast, she's excellent. Re the tomatoes, not sure what the connection is. Maybe you're not supposed to pop them up there after all.. hahahahahah. (JOKE!)

I’ve never made the ulcer cherry tomato connection before. Off to get lost in google.

I too love petrol and tarmac. I have never sniffed a latex slug head though so I guess that’s going on the list. Hope your book talks go brilliantly, I’m sure they will!

Have you even lived if you haven't sniffed a latex slug's head?
