For Radio 4, she has written a number of comedy series: The Wordsmiths at Gorsemere, The Sit Crom, Four Joneses and a Jenkins and Alison and Maud; and also Growing Pains, Hilaire Belloc, and Cities. Under the name Dulcie Domum, Limb wrote Bad Housekeeping, a humorous weekly column in The Guardian's Guardian Weekend section between 1988 and 2001. Collections of the columns, a feminist novelist's diaries of a rural idyll gone wrong, were republished in book form. The books, reissued by Solidus Press in 2002, are listed below. In 1989, as Domum, Limb coined the term "bonkbuster", a play on "blockbuster" and the verb "to bonk", British slang for sexual intercourse. [More at Wikipedia]
