Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

This was a book which I just wanted to read after looking at the first page. It's unusual and tells of the life of a young girl who goes to be a cook at the house of a rich woman and her child, and examines the differences in their lives. It's a very easy book to pick up and put down again, but is also a compelling read, and has lovely illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.
