Monday news: more working mums, energisers, book giveaways, end of the world, a blog we like

mumwork.jpgWorking mothers shouldn't feel guilty, says Celia Dodd in The Times. First Fiona Phillips now Ruth Kelly - is 'spend more time with the kids' now the most acceptable way to hide the truth? You might be able to guess The Guardian's line on this too.

If you are a working mum, you might benefit from this list of tips to stay energised, over on Lifehacker.com today, even if all the pictures illustrating the piece are, interestingly, of men.

Hoyden didn't liked the 'hairy legged lesbians' bit in the new Monica Dux/Zora Simic book "The Great Feminist Denial" but now, awkwardly enough, they've landed a giveaway of that very tome.

Are you afraid the end of the world is coming? Virginia Ironside puts your mind at rest. But, you know, take her advice with a pinch of salt. I mean... it is.

and just a heads-up for a great blog who, I've just realised, have linked to us. Let's hear it for Dustbury.com - in particular their superlative blogroll which will keep you busy till the end of time. Whenever that is.

  • Thanks for clearing that up lauredhel - just wanted to link to your giveaway in case it was of interest to our readers (& thought 'awkward' would be alright cos I saw on your site: "can’t deny, the timing on this has been a little awkward.")

  • Nothing "awkward" about it; both Hoydens were comped on the book because we were interviewed by one of the authors for it. The critique on-blog is of an opinion piece by one of the authors, not of the book itself.

    Receiving comp or giveaway copies in no way influences our opinions or the way we blog about them.
