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 really was awful - and the random snippets from the website (tip for the day, joke of the day etc) were just bewilderingly wrong. Couldnt bring myself to care about a single character.

pretty awful really. I persevered in case it got any better, and I'm not a picky reader. This is a book about a group of people who all contribute to an online "mums" community. Of course, one way or another, these people are all destined to meet and share each others lives. I just found it completely implausible, and contrived and not at all a realistic assessment of what I have found social sites like this one to be about.

Were there a book that I would say "leave well alone" it would be this one. The author should certainly leave writing well alone!
