| Ross, Deborah: Always Go to Bed on an Argument: And Other Useful Advice from the Non-Domestic Goddess
Book Number: 49499
Profile Books May 28, 2008 8vo hardcover in d/w. 208pp very good. One of Britain's finest comic writers offers handy tips on every aspect of household management-skin care, fashion and beauty, children, dealing with blackened oven dishes (soak, soak, soak, then throw away when nobody is looking), leftovers (transfer carefully into Tupperware, place in fridge, leave for a week, then throw away when nobody is looking), and freezing (leave for a decade, then throw away when nobody is looking). Useful advice on how to get a "lifestyle" if you suspect you don't have a proper one is also included. Some people have fabulous bodies and accomplished kids and amazing parenting skills and ideal jobs and harmonious marital relationships. This book is certainly not for them. It is for the 99% of the population who are not so blessed and cannot decide whether to laugh or cry.
