Dealing with the unrelenting demands of children, the ever-growing pile of laundry, dishes and post, she finds herself having to admit she's no longer able to cope. \r\n\r\nEnter her very own 'listening angel' - a supposed good Samaritan from the local charity set up to give support to 'Mums' under pressure. \r\n\r\nSo why can't she get a word in edgeways? And why is her husband's mood suddenly so elevated - when a certain angel is hovering nearby? \r\n\r\nThus unfolds a dark and hilarious journey into the wilds of suburbia, where unforgettable characters dwell and the unexpected is never far away. \r\n\r\nTold through diary-style musings, Notes for the Next Time explores the murky depths beneath the smooth surface of life in a hilarious, surprising and genuinely moving read. \r\n\r\nAnd what looks to be the final nail in the coffin of our mum-on-the-edge's ebbing sanity may actually provide the much-needed catalyst for change.","brand":"Eirin Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Hachette Ireland \/ 10 Jan 2008 \/ 284","offer_id":50484991557973,"sku":"9780340950838","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780340950838.webp?v=1742728504","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/notes-for-the-next-time","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
