I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas.Some of you have been commenting on my absence, one very impertinent reader even suggested that I may have done some time in prison. As we all know inmates get access to Dell Optiplex with a very restricted version of Windows for 10 minutes a day, you can't even access Marks and Spencer. So as you can see that would not suit me at all.Sagittarius -

What on earth can I make for dinner?I've only got leftover turkey, ham, sausages, stuffing, bacon, gravy, varied seasonal regional vegetables including potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, leeks, cabbage, brussel sprouts, carrots, apples, apple sauce, tangerines, salmon, smoked salmon, cheese, blue cheese,cream cheese, Swiss cheese, crakers, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, brandy sauce, brandy

Its about this time of year when I take a week off shopping to reflect on what Christmas really means to me and my blog. Is it about forcing yourself to open the front door and listen to the Carol singers ? Or maybe giving your cleaner a couple of hours off on Christmas day? Or perhaps taking the time to sign your own Christmas cards?No it isn't. It's about trying to get rid of all the

Sorry for the delay in posting part 2, I've had my family to stay and there is nothing my mother finds more irritating than me stuck on the computer writing about my criminal capers.To recap so far...Very serious policeman stopped me and my friend, suggested that I might be in possession of an illegal substance. A cute Labrador dog with brown eyes and waggy tail was willing to back this up.As I

I've been writing this blog since the last asparagus season, (May 2006). In that time I've tried to be honest with my readers and give them what they wanted, even if they didn't realise it's what they wanted. Sometimes I don't even think I wanted it without realising it.Anyway, I' m an honest member of the community and my family. I pay the taxman willingly, and I absolutely never wear last

Dear DavidI have admired your work for many years. I think you are very good at football, especially when you kick the ball. My mother and I always think you look very fashionable on the pitch, (and on the bench).However, I have read about your recent activities i.e. Signing a 5 year deal worth £128 million to play for LA Galaxy.In one word, you need help.Have you really thought about this David?

Things have been so busy here lately I've barely had chance to co-ordinate my outfits properly. Not to mention the colour malfunction between pink and lilac at the top of my page. But I have bought a new umbrella today to cope with all this rain, so something has been accomplished.As I mentioned on my previous post, I have been blog tagged. It says I need to reveal 5 interesting things about me.

I hope everyone had a marvellous Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2007.I also hope you all got the presents that you wanted, dearest Santa was very kind to me, bless him.On my return from the Chateau, I see that I have been "blog tagged" by a very technical IT person, how exciting I can hear you all thinking.... more on that soon.I apologise for my very small post, I haven't fully recovered

I'm very pleased to see that my ideas are helping you with your Christmas shopping.One reader emailed me to say that he has enjoyed his wife running round the bedroom in pink frilly knickers for many years. However, is there anywhere he could purchase a pair with penguins on them, to remind his wife of their honeymoon in the South Pole?How sweet and romantic, a little too much information for my

Women are so easy to buy for, perfume chocolates etc. But here's some help with the trickiest of all.LingerieMake sure you get the right size. If you're "generous"with your sizing and buy say a size 14 when she's really a size 12. She'll think, you think she's fat. Then you'll be spending all evening trying to convince her that she's not. Instead of the other thing you wanted to do, (the washing

Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement regarding my shopping problem. As I mentioned I had a very intensive workshop with Marks and Spencer at the weekend.They taught me a brilliant new technique that most of us can easily put into practice. Take an item that you really love and purchase lots of them in different colours, genius.M & S were so generous they even suggested that I

I'm sorry for the absence, I do hope I was missed in the blog world. I have been quite busy recently with family issues. The usual things involving rows, walk outs and mud slinging. Of course I won't be writing about it on my blog, that would be very uncouth of me.I do have some pictures though which I will be sharing with you at a later date, and possibly a clip for the very fashionable You Tube

Well I'm back from beautiful Paris. Thank you Gerry for blog sitting for me....never again, no not really. I am very grateful, and will be sending you an Opera cake, I know you like your French tarts.I was concerned to read that Boris Johnson was on your list of celebrities. Surely he's ok? He reminds me of a big fluffy polar bear, although I wouldn't want him in charge of anything important like

This is my last post before I go to Paris on Thursday, then my friend Gerry will be here. He's eaten all the Victoria Sandwich cakes I made him, and I've handed over my login details.Although we've been friends for about two years, I'm just a bit worried if I can trust him. He doesn't have his own blog, so isn't aware of the huge responsibility.I mean, if he fails to write an interesting cutting

I'm going back to Paris in November. It will be a nostalgic trip to visit friends, and my former employers Monsieur et Madame F.While I'm there, I'm hoping to visit an amazing flea market at Porte de Clignancourt. It's supposed to be the largest in Europe. Some of the things on my list will be a new pair of sturdy football boots for Paul Robinson, and a pad for Steve McClaren. He's always making

I remember a time when I could put a glass of champagne on my coffee table, and it wouldn't get dribbled on.I could go for an uninterrupted walk, at my own pace, without having to stop to leer at birds.I could even have a nice hot bath without a huge slobbering beast, hovering over me.Fond memories indeed, but to be honest, my life was completely dull before I met my husband and somehow we've

So I waited until today in order to save everybody...glad you are all ok.Virgo On the 15th your stylish Henri Lloyd waterproof jacket gets torn in a winch. Quelle horreur!

1.00 pm - Made the difficult decision not to take the dogs to the football after all. Fluffy broke her promise to me and did in fact roll in something disgusting on her morning walk. Grizzle however just couldn't be bothered.2.00 pm - Arrived at "The Green" pub in Shepherds Bush. A very mischievous doorman questioned whether we were genuine football fans or not, otherwise he couldn't let us in!

When I returned home last night from a most delicious meal at a tapas bar in Borough. I was very sad to hear that Richard Hammond from the tv show Top Gear was critically ill in hospital.For those of you who have never heard of Top Gear, it's a programme about Cars.Apart from having a go at fixing the odd thing, like the head gasket etc. It's something I don't really have a huge amount of

After years of waiting, and hours of holding with the telephone box office, I've finally got them. At long last I'm off to see QPR....play football, and Hull City on the 23rd. Obviously I'm very excited to go and see such a prestigious club, and the Queen!? at what point will I actually get to meet her? At the end? with all the other dignitaries?

It's all very exciting, the new football season has started, and I cannot wait to go to a game. I've been looking at the fixtures, and am hoping to go in September. At least before it gets too cold or I'll have to wear my ghastly wool bobble hat, in which my friend says I look like a "daft deranged monkey". I told her for once I shall being putting football before style, and before shopping. I

As I woke up this morning, memories of squawking seagulls, screaming children and waves crashing into the harbour wall seemed like a distant dream. I had forgotten that I would no longer be on call to crew on the Falmouth Working Boats.It started when I happen to visit the delightful St Mawes Sailing Club.
