Summary: The Unmumsy Mum on putting pics of your kids online, finding time for sex, robotic milking machines and what happened to Sunday Funday sex? Some fun facts about The Unmumsy Mum, otherwise known as Sarah Turner or Mummy depending on where you stand on things. She's surprisingly tall Her first book is a Sunday Times number 1 bestseller She got a first in Philosophy She knows tons about robotic milking machines There is no translation for Unmumsy in German She doesnt have a wizzy wazzy blog Her non wizzy wazzy blog has had 8 million hits We kick things off with WHO ARE YOU SARAH TURNER and she kindly talks about what she was doing before she was The Unmumsy Mum...and it turns out Sarah was working in banking...doing sexy things like financing robotic milking machines...what she doesn't know about robotic milking machines isn't worth knowing. Then she had her first child Henry and BOOM she became The Unmumsy mum (well, nearly)...but, realising that she couldn't do her job less than fulltime, she decided not to go back but instead went to work at Exeter Uni three days a week. And it was at this point that she started her globally adored blog, absolutely not whilst at work at her desk when she should have been doing her real work, no no no. She started writing because, upon finding that child rearing wasn't all cuddles and sun-lit fields of sunflowers, she decided to document her REAL experience of being a mum. She started with 36 followers and now has had over 8 million hits...even though she goes against the Number 1 Golden rule of blogging to 'Be Consistent'. We also chat about the Bad Mum Revolution that Sarah is credited as being at the forefront of - however she's not a fan of the movement in it's current guise but would rename it The Honest Mum Revolution. We ponder upon where the line is between slummy mumminess and actual neglect...and how to avoid it becoming Crap Mum Top Trumps. She also gives her Tip Tops for people who write a blog or want to start a blog...they're cracking. And then of course it's time for HOW DO YOU DO LIFE? We talk about the sexy stuff....money....sex....admin. So we talked cash...how does she earn money in the mysterious world of blogging? Does she monetise her blog (I was gobsmacked that the answer was no) AND we talk about sex...what does a 'good place' look like with sex for her? And what happened to Sunday Funday? Is there room for fantasy after kids? And then it's FANNY CHAT...and I was happy to hear that Sarah has a good relationship with her fanny...although her first encounter of her fanny was after birth when it looked like a puffa fish... AND FINALLY Sarah donates her FANNY CONFESSION to the Fanny Bank.
