Nigella has totally stolen my thunder!

[JustCallMeJanet]

I am watching Nigella's Christmas Table

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!

I will be gutted if Nigella has stolen Beck Søndergaard

Bugger have I missed Nigella Christmas?(off to iplayer) I do her chocolate salame every year with a massive slug of ameretto which always goes down well with everyone and no oven required!

Japanese - her main party was in the barn, but earlier they all seemed to be sitting round a big firepit? paellera thing? that definitely looked outside!

The barn was SHIT.

It must’ve either been filmed in summer or there must’ve been fan heaters under the table

The table was the thinnest table in the world. Was there even any space for glasses on it?!

And those tea lights would only have lasted two hours. And one aperitif? And kids eating brandy pudding?

Pffffftttt. Loada horseshit

I massively ROFLed at that poor fucking dog being dragged about the woods

Just seen this thread. JustCallMeJanet you can't own stars because I do! (And I AM JANET!)

He also said “look at all those lights and decorations, it’s all so lovely

I think you should leave him yes. My husband and I just sat giving rhe occasional snort like immature teenagers. I can’t recall what she said at one point, it was something to do with piping her devilled eggs, and we both looked at each other and guffawed. 🤣

I was painting the alcove behind the telly, so could only hear what she was talking about. I must watch later.

Oh, and stars are MY decoration I'll have you know! I have them hung on strings across my window this year. Previous years I HAND made and glittered cut out stars which I then painstakingly hung from threads from my ceiling.

I named my kid Star (in Welsh). I win, right?

I’m in tears here laughing at Nigella’s Croydon Primark scarf 🤣🤣

Bluntness I actually doubt he was as looking at the lights and decorations but I can’t blame him.

@jj21, yes, thank you for your input, now dfod.

You can all fuck off. I've had stars at Christmas since 1997.

Taffeta I was brought up on sherry trifle and I survived.

NO NO NO. I said it first! You can't all pile in saying 'well I quite like stars' or 'I have a star on my tree, therefore I own them'. Fuck the fuck off!

I love stars...i totally need some star dishes and stuff...

Yes yes Evil but we are from an age where kids broke their legs and shit.

I’m not all that into stars

Prefer snowflakes

True. I broke my elbow when I was 5.

I think stars a bit shit, tbh. They've always been overrated. What have stars ever done for us?

Led us to baby Jesus

I agree Hassled. Stars are soooo last year.

I’ve so moved on from them. I get a star and cut the pointy bits off. Kirsty Allsopp would be so proud

No, stars are retro. I have been doing star topped mince pies since 1986.

Nigella has now decided that she owns The Countryside, walks, dogs, crackling log fires, small provincial towns and local pubs (though not the actual locals, who aren't as photogenic as the extras supplied by the agency) so those of us who have been doing all of that for, er, life, have got to move right over to make way for her and her fairy lights. And stars.

Not as retro as devilled eggs

My 8 yr old said "what's wrong with her face mummy?"
She's used to my saggy miserable visage.

I quite like stars but I abhor hearts.
