Because on the days when you no-one is going to enter you for Mother of the Year Award you may as well shout it from the rooftops, shove violet cremes in your gob while the kids risk life and limb in the bath, pour white wine over your cornflakes and make BabyJane your role model of choice…

If you are going to do it, do it in style please.
