Curry Queen, those difficult chats parents need to have...
Can't wait - I'm a bit of a curry queen and we're checking out a great new curry restaurant near friends in Surrey.... haven't had a good, hot curry for ages! Will do a name-check on Monday if it turns out to be a good restaurant.
As I couldn't get to "your e-mail of the week" on Thursday I've selected one today - and it's just gone live. It might be yours - it's from Nathan - a widowed father of a teenage boy. He's concerned about how to handle the topic of masturbation.
Thinking of children, what fab news Lily Allen has given birth to a daughter after all she's been through - happy times! 'Woot' to you if you've also recently had a child - two of my pals are preggers - one due near Christmas so we're hoping for the best ever Christmas gift for her and her hubby.
TODAY’S TIP: Back to those tricky teens - if you're a parent and these conversations make you feel uncomfortable then definitely take it one step at a time. You can gently edge such conversations forward without making it one big huge sex chat which your teenager will probably feel mortified by.
Take your time, approach a confidently, and make sure they get good information.
Have I recommended Michael Kiwanuka’s tune Home Again yet? So beautiful - definitely check him out.
Have a lovely weekend, Pam x
