Rearrange this into a well known phrase or saying.

Got our free library bags with Puffin purchases. Didn’t even buy my own books. But @timharrisbooks a couple of yours are in there.

Yesterday my fridge lost power. Today a huge tree collapsed in my garden. It’s like the elemental forces of nature do not want me to make my book deadline on Monday. #peskikids3 #workingfromhome

Come to Nanny Piggins 10th Birthday party! It’s @thechildrensbookshop on March 23rd at 4pm. There will be stories, flying chocolate and cupcakes for fans, and bubbly and cheese afterwards for grown-up enthusiasts. Its going to be so much fun! Help me celebrate the milestone of ten years since my first published book.

When your book is due in a week but your kids need to learn how to choke someone out. #mummymultitasking

Just got books from @penguinkidsaustralia to give out to every entrant in the Robo Show Girls’ Potato Race proudly sponsored by FRIDAY BARNES. #bestpublisherever

Awesome new trailer for PESKI KIDS 2, BEAR IN THE WOODS! Gearing up for big publicity tour.

Growing tomatoes brings me so much joy. Do you think Marie Kondo would mind me eating them though? Holding them in my hands only does so much.

A sight to strike fear into the heart of any author.

I just got this big box of T-shirt’s in the post! The Robertson Show Girls Potato Race will be proudly sponsored by Friday Barnes again this year. There will be cash prizes for the first 5 place getters, plus a tshirt and signed book for every entrant. So give it a go girls 2pm March 9th!

Publisher sent me new book trailer to approve. Not allowed to show you the whole thing yet. But here is a screen shot of my favourite bit.

No rest for wicked writers. PESKI KIDS 2 only out a week ago and already slave drivers at Puffin Books have me coming up with cover ideas for PESKI KIDS 3.
