WINE NOT?: A Book of Grown-Up Decisions

Age disgracefully! If tricky situations are hard to navigate, why not try adding some gin? From surviving apocalyptic hangovers, relationship niggles and endless laundry, maybe the answer is just eat cake! More than 100 modern colour funny cartoons in this chunky book take us through daily life with Rosie, making grown-up decisions about important things like cake. On Monday morning Rosie reflects that "every office has 3 people who do the work - and 15 people who just walk around with salads". Being healthy is uphill work, and there are unanswerable temptations: "You know when you buy a bag of salad and it gets all brown and soggy? Biscuits don't do that." And "when you are an adult you can have chocolate cake for breakfast and there is literally nobody policing this". Friends are important, and "A true friend reaches for your hand - and puts a big gin in it". At the end of the day you deserve a bit of R and R. "One day you're young and trendy. The next you're impressed by someone's washer/dryer." Housework - not doing it - looms large. "I fantasize about having two men at once. One cleaning and one mending stuff." There are consolations, though. "Marriage is like having a best friend - who doesn't remember anything you say." The answer is "Never grow up. It's for old people." No page numbers, well over 100 cartoons that hit the nail on the head every time.
