This International Men’s Day, I’m doing something a bit special. You may find me gracing your small screen at some point as I feature in a video recorded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to encourage men to consider flexible working.
A still image from the video Helen, Izzy and I appeared in to promote the benefits of flexible working.
Many things can cause young children and family members to become excited. A wedding, the arrival of a newborn baby, a birthday celebration, success in exams or something of that ilk. To my great surprise, you can add the arrival of a new sofa to that list.
As you can see, I have made good friends with our new Snuggler sofa.
I’ve written many a times about my dislike of children having too much screen time. I’ve noticed, however, that a new front has opened-up in the battle for my kids’ eyes.

For some time now, I have been making preparations for the school summer holidays. This break is particularly significant as our youngest daughter, Izzy, will be starting school in September.
The six week school summer holidays: it’s about having fun, getting a good sun tan and living in a messy house.
As a family, we’ve steadily got more and more into tennis over the years. It is one way we keep fit and it’s a sport my daughters have developed a real love for. I am, therefore, delighted to be giving readers a chance to win an epic prize: two tickets to the ladies’ finals at this year’s Wimbledon championships.
Can you tell which tennis superstar is hiding underneath that beard and wig?
