My debut ‘Mama of the Month’ questions begin with some mothers who have more experience than I do… and I always love to hear advice from women who have been through it all and can look back and tell us newish mothers what it’s all about. To start – who better than Lucia Whitehouse aka Grandmother Pukka, mother to Anna aka Mother Pukka.

I’m about to shatter your impressions of how you perceive models. Please do not read on if you want to believe that all models are perfect in every single way. Yes I thought you may want to read on… cheeky. This is an account of what really happened when I shot this TV commercial. A ‘behind the scenes special’ if you please.

How many times have you asked if someone has done something – and they’ve automatically replied with a very common expression; “I haven’t got around to it yet”. Loads right? It’s a sentence used by too many too often on a daily basis – whether it’s from my husband, my kids, the man at the postoffice, the lady I’m eavesdropping on the bus – and even myself!
