Why waste a good tantrum when there is no-one looking?

Darling James has been reading the Sunday Times this morning as usual. He was guffawing so uncontrollably since opening the travel supplement that I feared he would cause himself an injury. When he eventually dried his eyes, he announced “I didn’t write to the newspaper, honestly darling” and made a quick break for the door with his golf clubs. I naturally leaped on the newspaper to discover the source of his mirth, this page has been manhandled almost beyond recognition;

“Dear Kathy

Q I can’t stand the way my wife drives our car. She clips the corners of kerbs, goes too fast over speed bumps, is frequently in the wrong gear — and that’s when she’s not swerving to avoid people or cyclists. When I point out that she’s going to kill us both, she accuses me of being aggressive, and if I insist on driving, she says I’m being a chauvinist.

Dear Kathy

Q My girlfriend has horrible sleeping habits. When she’s awake, she’s well mannered, pretty and considerate. As soon as her head hits the pillow, she turns into another creature altogether. She snores like a pig and tosses and turns like an elephant. Then she asks me why I’m so grumpy in the mornings. And we’re supposed to be getting married.

HM, 25, Carlisle”

OHMYGOD!!! Is 9.38 am on a Sunday morning too early to open the vino? Please excuse me, I must telephone the housekeeper to tell her not to bother to come to work today, we will no longer be requiring Sunday lunch. I am off to Sloane Square with my friend Sadie for a shop fest…
