BOOK EXTRACT
Friday January 1st
New Year's Day
Back at Mum and Dad's after HUGE row with Nick. Am FURIOUS. Asked him to look after Daisy while I went to the supermarket (when I take her along, I get distracted by the 2-for-1s and buy random things, like jam-filled wagon wheels). Got home to find Nick playing computer games, with TEN empty bottles of original Guinness beside him. TEN BOTTLES! In TWO hours! I went mental. 'I've got a high tolerance for alcohol, ' he slurred. 'If I were drunk, I'd never have cracked this part of Assassin's Creed.' I demanded he walk in a straight line, and he fell over. As I was screaming at him, Nick's mum let herself into the apartment. She saw Nick on the floor and said, 'Do sit up straight, darling.' Then she asked what all the fuss was about. I said Nick was getting pissed when he was supposed to be looking after Daisy. 'Oh Nick, ' said Helen. 'But Juliette, he has been working all day. He's obviously stressed.' Working! All Nick's done today is read a two-page script for an online poker commercial. 'If I ever need relationship advice from a divorcee, ' I told Helen, 'I'll let you know.' Then I screamed at Nick at bit more, threw a bag together and said I was taking Daisy to my parent's house. I would have made a strong, dignified woman exit, except I had to come back for Daisy's pink waffle blanket, Teddy Snuggles, blackout curtain with suckers, spare nappies and finally her Lullaby Light Bear.
