Overview
This six-book Gill Sims collection bundles her laugh-out-loud "Why Mummy" diary novels with the standalone hit The Saturday Night Sauvignon Sisterhood, plus the tie-in Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal. Told through the exhausted, wine-fueled, brutally honest voice that made Sims a fan favorite with harried parents, each book skewers the chaos of family life and marriage. Sharp, relatable, and genuinely funny from cover to cover.

About the Books
Gill Sims built a devoted following with her anonymous blog "Peter and Jane," a parody of the wholesome Ladybird reading scheme that instead chronicled the sweary, wine-soaked reality of raising small humans. That voice carries into this collection, which follows an unnamed, endlessly patient (if increasingly sloshed) mother navigating a husband obsessed with gadgets, a son glued to his iPad, a daughter chasing Instagram fame, and the mystery of why nobody else in the house can find the laundry basket. Each book escalates the chaos while keeping the warmth underneath the sarcasm. The Journal spins the same voice into a companion for readers who'd rather vent than meditate. Rounding out the set, The Saturday Night Sauvignon Sisterhood steps outside the "Why Mummy" universe to follow frazzled friends leaning on each other, and a shared bottle, to survive parenting and midlife.
