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.

Laugh out loud read. Rennison brilliantly captures the angst of fitting-in, the vulnerability of puberty and the embarrassment of parents! As I read excerpts of Georgia Nicolson's diary I was given a glimpse of what could have been my very own adolescence. A book I wasn't sure I wanted to read, as I thought I'd be past it in age, but it immediately took me back to my youth and made me laugh so hard I nearly peed my pants! I couldn't help imagining how funny it's going to be on-screen and can't wait to see it at the cinema. The only thing about it that bothered me is that it sets you up for a sequel. Personally I'm not the kind of person who can wait for a second book to come out in a series, so I wish this one was longer and had the closure I craved.
