I was standing in the middle of Morrisons reading this, yelling to my mum- 'I've found a Joey! She's an author and everything!'

Not surprisingly I got some strange looks Wink

Indeed, and look at how much veggies and fruit they don't buy. How about "Scurvy at the Chalet School" for her next book title?

And the amount of fizzy drink they get through?

*wonders if Joey's kids read Beano*

She seems to buy an awful lot of prepared food, and only six tomatoes a week!

You'd think they could share Beano between them...

I'm glad I'm not the only person to notice that. Mind you, without Anna and Rosli on hand she probably doesn't have much time for cooking.

Reading a book the other day about social history etc with midwives there was mention of a mother who had had triplets and two sets of twins and at least two singletons (if it wasn't for the fact that the singletons came first I could have believed it was Joey - she had the singletons in a nursing home then the triplets and both sets of twins at home)

And how does she cope, Xanthe?

PS: I once watched a TV programme about people with large families. One woman seemed to concentrate on having the babies, then her elder children did all the work!

Very well - she's just very organised I think!

She also runs a nursery school these days, which might help I guess!
