MORE ON MONDAY: House Rules by Clare Coulson

If you’re anything like me and find that housework comes at the bottom of your list of priorities (somewhere below watching The X Factor and finishing the pinot grigio) then House Rules by Clare Coulson is the book for you.

Full of the information your mother would have told you if she hadn’t been too busy burning her bra, this book is everything you need to run a clean and tidy house, as well as an organised life.

I followed the advice for simplifying my wardrobe and I can’t tell you what a relief it is not to worry about what clothes I’m going to wear. I don’t want to bore you with the details (this isn’t Catwalk Queen, after all) but now I’m co-ordinated I’ve never been happier, and the packing tips from Claridge’s valets have been a Godsend.

As far as household hints books go this is by far the prettiest I’ve seen and the subjects cover everything a modern woman needs to know.

Rating: 4/5
