    I went to a Jamie party a while ago. I ago with you about the prices - ouch; however, what I did buy is good quality! Have a lovely baking tray, which although a bit big, I do use a lot as nothing sticks on it (yet!!!)

    Good luck with that Buffy, its ridiculous isn't it, I have no reason to be quite so excited about this, I've never even met the guy yet, but for some reason I am sooo happy when I get a text from him, daft isn't it :o

    Morning all, I'm off on a geography fieldwork trip today at the beach, am all wrapped up ready for winter :o:o

    I sent out 20 f/b invites for the Jamie party last night, really not sure if any of my friends will want to buy any of it, most of them are young mums or ta's on low wages so the prices will put most people off :o I have put on the invite that there is no obligation to buy anything, it would be nice just to see them for wine and nibbles, think i'd be rubbish at partying lol. Its probably the dfw in me but I keep looking through the catalogue thinking "ooh thats nice, and maybe if it was half that price I'd consider it!" :D
