Almost a fortnight has passed since my first ever TV appearance and I think I’ve finally lived down the embarrassment enough to share it with you.

Lessons learnt:

1) If you swing on a swivel chair to stop your legs from shaking, sit on your hands to stop them doing the same and grin manically to stop your teeth from chattering, you will look like a crack addict. Which isn’t a good look for a girl blogging about parenting.

2) Your best prim voice will not save you from this.

3) You probably won’t actually be sick, even if you’re so nervous it feels like norovirus.
