I have a very tired little girl on my hands this week. My three-year- old is caught up in all the Christmas festivities in a big way. Every day it seems there’s another thing going on, whether it be making another decoration to go on the tree, nativity or trip to see Santa, and it’s wearing her out. When she gets to the worn out stage she invariably cries, but it reached a new level. Getting in the car to go and see some lights the whinging started and it kept going. I tried to pacify her with snacks, tried to talk her round with what we were going to see, anything that would make her stop, but nothing would. I asked her to stop before I got cross and my heart sank when she said “I can’t stop whinging mummy.” Poor little mite just needed to sit still with nothing to overwhelm her.

It was the best duet I’ve ever heard. At Heart Live with Diet Coke on Monday, the man himself, Robbie Williams performed with our Emma Bunton. A meeting of the super groups, Take That and the Spice Girls performed the Christmas number 1 from 1996, 2 become 1. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and you can hear the whole gig on Heart, on boxing day from 6pm.
