Last night was the gurgle Christmas party. So, armed with our handbags and gladrags and the song 'here come the girls' (we're not all girls, but hey), we headed to a swish Knightsbridge location to start partying. The problem was, once a mum always a mum. Half way through ordering a champagne cocktail I dug into my bag and a handful of The Bean's nappies fell out, much to the dismay of the cocktail waiter who didn't take my joke, 'they're for later if I get too drunk', as very funny. A quick check around the gurgle.com staff revealed our handbags contained: dummies (for babies and our babies' dollies), Ella's kitchen pea and parsnip food, rice cakes, old wipes and all of us had raisins in the nooks and crannies of our bags. You can leave your children at home for the night, but there's no escaping who we are: Mummies through and through!
