Recipe of the week

smithy's roasted beetroot: low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and generally nutritious and virtuous. This one-dish wonder is delicious and uses up some seasonal beets. What's not to like?

I would be really interested to know what percentage of MAC users are actually mums and who the rest of their buyers are.

I may email.......

Mac obviously haven't heard of the mumsnet effect. Look whats happened to Waitrose botty cream, it's sales and publicity. (daily mail today).

Now, if we all stopped buying Mac, as obviously we are all old, mumsy and unfashionable, ooh how they'd suffer!!

am googling feverishfish, the name is promising.

now i remember in my more glamorous london days I used something gorgeous by Guerlain but I don't think it was for the face.

am googling vitalumiere, not feverishfish, though your name is also promising.

my dd (3) once plastered herself with a very indelible Mac tranny red lipstick. That took some serrious scrubbing to get off. There are probably still remnants in her pores and always will be.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the web address (URL) surrounded by [[ and ]]. So type [[http://www.mumsnet.com]] to display a link like www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page."
