David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

EXCELLENT especially for people like me who are not good savers!!!! - we put £2 coins into ours when we found out we were expecting and smashed it open shortly before DS was born - it was a brilliant way to buy baby essentials

A lovely gift. Can be presented with something special in mind or for the receiver to decide what the money is eventually spent on - one idea is a weekend away (child free) for the parents! Takes a while to fill and amount collected depends what coins are put into it.

The trouble with these, tbh, is that they look quite tacky. The writing is done with those gold bubble pens. I really didn't think it looked nice.

A great gift as you hardly notice that you're saving money when you put the coins in there. It took us a couple of years to fill ours with £2 and when we smashed it open we got more than £200 out if it.
