THEY DON'T TEACH THIS AT SCHOOL - SIGNED COPIES

This fully illustrated guide is a practical, confidence-boosting companion for real life, packed with the kind of knowledge many of us wish we'd learned sooner. As Myleene Klass puts it, school prepared us for exams, not everyday emergencies or tricky moments, and feeling helpless is something no one deserves. This book steps in to change that. Drawing on warmth, clarity, and common sense, it brings together over 100 essential life skills designed to save time, money and sometimes even lives. The advice is reassuringly down-to-earth and wide-ranging, covering everything from escaping a burning building and handling medical emergencies, to checking car tyre pressure, changing a fuse and a plug, or coping calmly with a plumbing disaster. Just as importantly, it tackles the human side of life: how to be a good listener, speak confidently in public, talk about racism, write a CV, apply for a job, and even say hello (and more) in different languages. There are also thoughtful tips for everyday wellbeing, such as getting a good night's sleep, what to do if you are lost or easing the burn after eating something too spicy. And helpful hints for cleaning shoes including fabric ones, drying out wet shoes, getting chewing gum out of clothes, how to iron a shirt and fold it correctly, freezing food, when meat is safe to eat, setting a table, know your way around a toolbox, unravelling a chain, packing a suitcase, sewing on a button, wrapping a present and more. Dozens of colour photographs including of Mylene's children and the beautiful lady herself and lots of step-by-step illustrations. 288 pages 19 x 24cm. ALL COPIES SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
