Hello everyone, and welcome to my new Weblog. I should perhaps start with a little bit about myself - though I'm sure many of you are familiar with me already!

My name is Jacqui, Jacqui Swann, and I'm a Columnist-cum-TV Personality from England. My lovely husband Matthew is a succesful actor, having featured in two of the country's most popular soap operas as well as fronting a high-profile ad campaign for washing up liquid. The twins, David and Davina (after Beckham and McCall, naturally!) are the apples of my eye - I've been a mother for four long years now, but I wouldn't have missed a thing. My work has taken me to parties and premieres all over the world, and yet I just cannot sleep until I've phoned them. I even called Davina's mobile at nursery school once - I'd forgotten about the LA/London time difference! 

I've just been introduced to the wonderful world of blogging, and I must say it's delightful to see so many of you trying your hands at 'The Craft'. I've never let my lack of professional training stop me from saying exactly what I want to say, and so should you! A weblog, to me, represents the purest form of writing - no censorship, no editing, no deadlines. And rest assured that what you'l be getting from me over the next few months will be Jacqui Uncut, Straight From The Hip...

Hop on and enjoy the ride...
