I launch a giveaway to win some Godawful tat and try to persuade 250,000 people to each donate a pound so I can buy a house. Neither ends well

Go to see Snowdrops and Grapefruit at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London

FiveHoursSleep so glad it's not just me!

We're grabbing the goujons - again! - in this week's meal plan - yum yum!

fridge Freezer february. I am sick of buying food and spending money so am eating out of the freezer. yesterday's efforts was a boring spag bol- but I already forsee that the weeks will bring ever more - um- creative cooking. Today is frozen seafood in white sauce over rice (much nicer than it sounds).

A round up of the story of Richard III's remains. For anyone who hasn't seen the documentary or managed to read the papers yet...

A look at last night's often unintentionally hilarious documentary about Richard III: The King in the Car Park.

mumsmakelists I've always been a Yorkist at heart, although as a descendent of John of Gaunt and the Beauforts I'm genetically a Lancastrian. ;D

I'm cross about something? I know, I'll blog about it in a passive aggressive manner. Liar, liar pants on fire

A few thoughts on family traits and how you live on in your children. Seems sometimes you DO get that second chance after all!

A Second Chance

I'm loving all the Richard III stuff - here in America folks are both fascinated (royals!) and bemused (under a parking lot?!?).

Anyway, some easy tips on making your own green cleaning products

I can't think of anything more quintessentially English than finding a king under a car park. ;)

MmeGuillotine

You are so right MmeG and that is how they are reporting it over here. Zeez eeengleesh, zey find zer kingz under zee parking.

MmeGuillotine oh well that makes us long lost cousins then as I can also claim - a tad dubiously :-) - descent via John of G and the Beauforts!

Every child enjoys "float or sink?" but here are 18 more fab experiments for exploring density and buoyancy with pre-schoolers and beyond ...

Fridge Freezer February - curried seafood from the 70's.

Petite, I hardly think the French are in any position to comment on the remains of Kings being found in undignified places!

mums I think 99% of the UK can claim descent from John of Gaunt, which is quite cosy. I'm just annoyed that my descent is via the same line as the Tudors. I'd have preferred the same one as the Yorkist kings but ah well. :)

Egusta - We are also doing a lot of eating out of the freezer at the moment. I found blackcurrants and made reckless cheesecake, and some jam

Feeling Nosy?

Recipe Junkie's post on the Great British Bake Off inspired me to confess - I have my own TV show

Quite happy to share lineage with Henry VII & Elizabeth I - would just prefer not with the ghastly Henry VIII, Mary & Edward!

That cheesecake looks amazing Recipe. I have never made a cheesecake, am nervous of desserts generally.

It is going to be interesting eating all out of the freezer- as we seem to have masses of fishcakes and fish fingers in there. I am trying to see how creative I can be.... today will be frozen shrimps so I am going to attempt my own sesame prawn toasts....

I wrote about something awkward

Snipped. A love story.
