  • I've never been able to find any of the Christmas books cheap - her, Delia, whoever. Even one with a damaged cover in Waterstones in the middle of summer was £13! Have you tried the Book People?

    Book People don't have it, just checked. I love that website. Spent quite a bit on it the other day :o Their children's books are so cheap though and they're so good for school.

    Ha @ Nigella, she's getting more and more, erm, can't think of the word.. like an exaggeration of herself! Still like watching her though. I want her pantry and fairy lights.

    What about WHSmith for the book, when they have one of those £5 off vouchers kicking around?

    I *love* Nigella! I know she drives some people mental, but I think she's totally aware of how OTT she is now and plays up to it. Some of her food this series has been a bit weird (baked pizza which was just a flat Yorkshire pudding with some cheese and pepperoni on it!) but the Christmas books is FAB! I've been making sweetcorn relish and pomegranate vodka as xmas pressies.

    That pizza thing was very strange! I've got her new book, but haven't had time to look at it properly yet (could have done it today actually, instead of sitting on here all day :o).

    That sweetcorn relish sounds good! I'm itching to make a chocolate beetroot cake at the mo. Might do it next week. Ooh need to make a Victoria sponge for my Mum's birthday on Thursday. Forgot about that.

    I looked in WH Smith but it's full price in there (£25!) so even with a money off voucher it'll be expensive. I was watching one on ebay last week but obviously, because I'm me, I missed the end of the auction and missed out on getting it for £9!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Mary Berry's Victoria Sponge is the best I've tried ;)
