“ This is a brutal schedule, but better to go into battle properly prepared than enter the fray buoyed with optimistic ignorance”

I am the latter and every year when I get this book out, this line (on Pg 111) has me howling 😂. I will mostly be found at around 3pm on Xmas Day realising I’m never going to get it all ready and so end up pouring another Baileys.

I approach all elements of my life ‘buoyed with optimistic ignorance!’ 😆

I absolutely love Nigella. It was really awful to think of her being so hurt by that twat she married.

Just made Nigella’s puddings. It’s the best recipe.

I always go into battle fully prepared and I’m afraid those who rely on optimistic ignorance drive me mad - another big Nigella fan!

Oh I’m a huge fan too - but her schedule is brutal . I should just throw the towel in and buy my sides ready made!

Same here. DP says it's one of my most endearing and at the same time irritating qualities.

I took a look at her schedule and think I need a lie down 😅
