About this deal

Straight away Dawn echoes my own feelings when she mentions how she bought herself a diary at the start of this year....only to see the majority of it empty feeling sad. I look at mine, see and feel the same. I hear you sister! The book just screams ME, ME, ME as I read and I couldn't find a way to connect meaningfully with the self obsessed entries. An intimate, honest account of the first three months of isolation . . . Her book is a paean to what is truly important’ Telegraph I have an odd relationship with motherhood. I've never had that relationship of this unconditional friendship, deep bond that you have with somebody, but I have it now with my son," she said. "So I know the feeling of what that relationship could be, I've just never had it . . . One of the traits that losing my mother really early did for me was it made me fiercely independent." Losing a Friend

Yet it shaped her. “It’s part of who I am. I can’t imagine a different existence without that terrible thing having happened to me. It makes you a certain kind of person when you begin life with the worst thing that could ever happen. It was devastating but it’s affected me positively – in the way I reach for things, in the way I cope, the way that I love, the way that I’m loyal.” Dawn O’Porter has been thinking a lot about life. Mostly from a cupboard (and she’s definitely not hiding from her children). Female friendships, family, marriage, sex, friends, parenting, cooking, eating, eating cooking, eating, drinking, ( margaritas, or wine: evening pandemic pleasure), a little marijuana & edibles, home activities for the kids, art projects with macaroni noodles, home schooling their boys ( boy, this must be hard to keep up during this pandemic),In an October 2020 interview with Metro UK, when asked about losing her friend, she said it was a strange year to be mourning, and she couldn't even visit a friend to speak about it.

What should you expect? Tears, belly laughs and to come out the other side wanting Dawn O'Porter to be your best friend' Marie Claire Porter met Chris O'Dowd at her 30th birthday party in Los Angeles in 2009. The duo eventually started dating and got engaged in December 2011 in Guernsey. The couple finally exchanged wedding vows at a three-day party in an intimate wedding ceremony in London in August 2012. I wanted to write a book about three women who had decided not to have children. That was the book I was going to write, she said in a March 2017 interview with Irish Times. "Then I had a child and . . . it was like motherhood, I couldn't escape it." She called her editor and said: "I have to give one of these characters a child, 'cause I can't not write about being a mum." She first appeared on television in 2005 as a man tester in two episodes of the British comedy game show 'Balls of Steel.' In 2007, she was featured in the television documentary 'Super Slim Me'. She attempted to become an American size zero in eight weeks. Not that she didn’t cherish the time with the boys, intense though it was. Her book is a paean to what is truly important. “When nothing is happening, so much is actually happening if you care to look. Emotions are bigger than ever.”

with stunning clothes, ....but also has a down-to-earth genuine heart filled with so much love —— every man, woman, and child, must feel it. Fearless, funny and unflinchingly real, Life in Pieces is a diary of a time we'll all remember forever - laughing through the tears, finding comfort in the chaos and (in Dawn's case, at least) discovering the life-changing properties of a midday margarita. She then served as a presenter for several television documentaries such as How to Look Good Naked and Seriously Dirty Dancing in 2007, Dawn… and Dawn Porter in 2008, How to Find Love Online in 2013, and This Old Thing in 2014. She also has a few credits as an actress. She appeared in the film Torn (2010) and television series such as Skins in 2012 and Will Sliney's Storytellers in 2021.
