Nigella has totally stolen my thunder!

I am watching Nigella's Christmas Table Angry

Stars are MY thing - I have star shaped bowls, starry patterned China, I make food into star shapes, I have star patterned furnishings. I have owned a starry scarf for YEARS!

My entire Christmas decor is star themed. How dare she steal my idea.

I OWN STARS! Angry

I was a bit transfixed by the lighting and general cosiness of it all.

Next year I need to channel my inner Nigella (or at least her team of lighting stylists)

You are all wrong, it's Fanny Craddock who invented stars. Star Star Star Star

I don’t think any of us can compete with Nigella Xmas Sad

I do actually rather like her though and am glad she’s away from that horrible ex.

am I the only who gets the boak watching Nigella?

me and dh sit and slag her rotten, shes second only to that twat who cooks on Friday nights with Jamie Oliver

Nigella has stolen my dog. I used to have a lovely golden lab like that.

FraterculaArctica · 11/12/2017 21:17

I watched it with DS (3.8). He asked 'Why has she got no living room and no stairs?'

I wondered why on earth she was having a party outdoors in December.

LizzieSiddal · 11/12/2017 21:17

I wish she’d stolen my figure Xmas Hmm

StripySocksAndDocs · 11/12/2017 21:18

Nigella needs to become my bff. I'm more than happy to be her less attractive, less sexy and fatter friend. I'll steal all her stars though for you op because obviously I'll be jeslous

JustCallMeJanet · 11/12/2017 21:18

@LizzieSiddal Oh I compete with Nigella, and generally win. My secret is that I use less cinnamon.

You need to read the Janeting Running Thread...
Your the Janet Star, but bet yours looks pretty.

JustCallMeJanet · 11/12/2017 21:21

@mummmy2017, I have, hence my username Confused

It's because of Nigella that I have fairy lights in my kitchen all year round. They're so pretty and twinkly.

But, more seriously what foundation does she use??? She looks perfectly matte yet dewy and luminous all at the same time. How? How? [shakes fist at the sky]

Japanese · 11/12/2017 21:22

Fratercula - but it wasn't outside. It was in a barn which was probably heated to a perfect cosy temperature with lots of cashmere throws casually placed for extra warmth & cosiness (I may be a bit over-invested in the cosy thing).

Sorry missed your name... Sorry Starry Janet,

Covefe · 11/12/2017 21:25

She had MY primark navy scarf with gold stars on her lap Angry

JustCallMeJanet · 11/12/2017 21:29

OOH pretty lady sparkles...

VivaLeBeaver · 11/12/2017 21:33

I own red cabbage thank you very much, have done for at least 18 years!

QuimReaper · 11/12/2017 21:33

Nigella was wearing a scarf from Primark?!!!!

FrLukeDuke · 11/12/2017 21:34

I wonder which Primark Nigella bought her navy star scarf from. I've never seen her in the Croydon one.

StripySocksAndDocs · 11/12/2017 21:35

There's no WAY nigella has a Primark scarf. I has to be the expensive version of whatever Primark ripped off.

wtffgs · 11/12/2017 21:37

Haha! My kitchen is too small for feckin' lights. I stomp around in Primark dressing gown waft silkily round, smoothing and massaging our food and talking suggestively to sandwiches.

I like her - I think she's a hoot.

RebeccaBunch · 11/12/2017 21:38

I called my child Stella.

I win!

Lashalicious · 11/12/2017 21:41

I love Nigella. Have watched her old shows on youtube. Is there a way to watch her recent stuff here in the US?
