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.

The backdrop of the recent history of Afghanistan is fascinating. But it feels like the author should have written his own life story, or a history book.

The story of the two women is very hokey and melodramatic, with the male characters particularly two- dimensional. I finally lost patience when, in Bobby Ewing style, a character came back from the dead.
