Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

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.

Going going ... last chance for any more Christmas card bids to raise money for Kids Company. The auction will close in half an hour and then we'll post the winning bids for each of the four original paintings. Thanks to everyone who has posted (and to anyone who's preparing to up the ante by sneaking in a cheeky last-minute bid ).
