Hiring someone to look after your children is about the most important thing you will ever do in your life.

I'm not sure a pretty and stupid man might be the key to a happy relationship.

Seriously, Jamie Cullum could be the smallest person on the planet. He might be lovely and charming and you might think we all should spend more time talking about his piano-playing techniques but, seriously, have you seen how short he is?

Sex and the City: The Movie' - a bit like the All Saints comeback, and the return of the Jammy Dodger, it feels a little staged and all wrong.

The character of Samantha Jones proved that women over the age of 40 could be magnificently sexy and attractive to men of all ages.

Indeed, 'Sex and the City' highlighted the importance of female friendships, and showed the world that it was hip to be single.

Yes, of course I love little Sarah Jessica Parker. I love the fact that when she accepts awards, she thanks everyone she's ever met and inanimate objects that have 'been kind to her.' And I love the fact that she hasn't had a flesh-coloured mole removed from her forehead (I'm not making it up; have a closer look next time she's on the screen).

Facebook, I'm learning, is like a man. You have to be smiley and fun and witty but sometimes you have to play it cool and just ignore it for a couple of hours.

Facebook is the first class of social networking. If MySpace is Camden Lock then Facebook is Harvey Nichols.

Facebook it turns out, is like MySpace but it's not scary. There aren't a lot of angry looking people with nose rings and um, issues.

I've always thought MySpace sounds like a new estate agency in central London run by two men who favour large-lapel suits and goatees.

I share a birthday with Max Beesley and James Nesbitt.

I'd take Tom Hollander over Brad Pitt any day.

I like small actors. They are my absolute favourite.

I love skiing. What on earth have I been doing on a beach all this time? I mean, that's for morons - you can get sunburn and really damage yourself.

The only question a girl can ask herself when their husband chooses to see '27 Dresses' is this: What on earth has he done?

There is no film on the face of this earth that is as blatant a girl's film as '27 Dresses.'

Be completely honest - have you ever met someone who you thought was truly clever or interesting or witty who wore fawn?

When you're down and have just split up from your partner everyone says you have to move forward. 'Get on with your life,' 'It's time to meet someone new,' and 'Don't think about the past' are phrases you'll hear for at least six months after the horrible event.

A dark room with some low-level whale music and a flat bed and a woman pulling your shoulder back and forth is a happy place.

Rodents are pests and not pets, and anything that manically runs around a wheel 24/7 and occasionally has 19 babies in the middle of the night should not be brought into the house.

I just don't 'get' pets.

Christmas is not a time for laughter. Christmas is a time for pain.

If you meet a girl who says: 'Darling, what do you mean? Of course I wear suspenders. I've worn them all my life. I think tights are for old people,' then know this: she's desperate to have kids, she wants you and her to live in the same house as her mum, she never wants to go out and she just wants to lie on your chest for the next 15 years.
