Love it! I tried to “adapt” the Persil ‘What is a mum?” poem last year:

I definitely prefer your take over the advertising team’s! x

Day off? No chance… you’re serving the whole-term life tariff with the rest of us! And don’t even think of good behaviour… although you might get some remission for literary merit. Great poem!

Brilliant, love the poem – very clever. As for the day off, I wish.. the odd, very rare, day off from work when I was too ill to work, yet well enough to read is one of the things I miss most about being a working mum

Hi Josie, love this post, please can I include it in this year’s edition of ‘mummomag’, an online magazine entirely by mums for mums? You can see last year’s edition at http://www.mummomag.co.uk. It’d be great if I could use this, it’s just so funny and pertinent … especially on Mothers’ Day, which is the day that the magazine will be released. Hope you say ‘yes’! Thanks – Jo
