If you do think about starting a blog...........

I've just read some comments someone called "Cambridge mummy" has made about her. Very good!

Are we (or you two) talking about Liz Jones?

Or that fed-up-looking woman at the computer?

Liz Jones.

Geraldine and Cari at the Mumsnet Convention about how to get your blog published

Oh! I thought she made her living out of discussing her 'relationships'...

No. Doesn't sound like there would be a lot to discuss!

When I used to buy the Mail on Sunday several years ago, she wrote about her on/off relationship with her husband every week! It went on, and on and on.....

I wonder why Mumsnet invited her in the first place!

To have a look at all the work she's had done on her face, perhaps? She makes no secret of it....

What a snidy b***h!

Charming creature!!! new spin on notion of "guest" speaker.

She'll be handing back her fee, then, as this is obviously not the kind of publication she wants to have dealings with?

She does not think very highly of mothers who focus on the job of bringing up their children and give up climbing the career path while they do it, relying instead on whatever they can do to scrape a little money. If their resources are only what lies about them - their lives and surroundings - that bores her, so she condemns them for using that.

She does not like children and has no intention of doing the job of raising one, even part-time. Most of us do not like handling the contents of other people's dustbins, but it is a job that has to be done, and well done those who take it on, for little money and no applause. If they could make a second job out of writing a blog exchanging hints and opinions and chitchat with other binmen, then they would earn my congratulations.

Whereas those who make a living from calling themselves "artists" and sneering at other women only earn my contempt.

I follow her column in the Mail on Sunday every week - it is hilarious. She moved to Devon and all the locals hated her. She once wrote that she had no money for food, and pensioners were sending her ten pound notes. The next week she is boasting about her designer clothes - her dog sleeps on a Versace rug!

Fine as comedy - not as funny when she attacks people though. Cheap and nasty.

Elegran - the comedy is entirely unintended on her part! She is so truly awful, you have to laugh. She keeps telling us how kind and generous she is and that she bought her sister a house. And she wonders why her own family don't speak to her.

A lovely lady!

I suppose anyone who seeks the limelight so assiduously must have a skin like a rhinocerous (actually rhinocerous skins are very sensitive, despite being so thick)

Did not seem to me to be a good piece of writing either. Rambling a bit?

Not exactly a structured piece - more a wander from one rant to another.

It have must been very easy to write - just sit down at the keyboard and let the bile flow. I wonder whether she read it through after dashing it off to see how it sounded.

She wouldn't last more than three posts on Gransnet - demolished by the robust, the sensitive and the style pedants, simultaneously.

miaowww

Move "to see how it sounded" to follow "through". I should read that through to .... oh you know what I mean.
