About this listen

 No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited fourth and final Why Mummy novel.

I just wanted them to stop wittering at me, eat vegetables without complaining, let me go to the loo in peace and learn to make a decent gin and tonic.

Mummy has been a wife and mother for so long that she’s a little bit lost. And despite her best efforts, her precious moppets still don’t know the location of the laundry basket, the difference between being bored and being hungry, or that saying ‘I can’t find it Mummy’ is not the same as actually looking for it!

Amidst the chaos of A-Levels and driving tests, she’s doing her best to keep her family afloat, even if everybody is set on drifting off in different directions, and that one of those directions is to make yet another bloody snack. She’s feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated, and the only thing that Mummy knows for sure is that the bigger the kids, the bigger the drink.

Cheered me on my dog walks - good to know most mums live the same chaotic life with demanding thankless teenagers & that Gin & your own mates are the best therapy....

A true but funny account of a mums life with teenagers!

Really enjoyed this latest book in the series, although it was a little predictable. Even my hubby enjoyed - I could tell by his smirks as he pretended to be focused on his laptop while the audible played. Can't wait for more fun from this author.

Fun fun fun
