I don't really buy meat. Pack sizes are too big. If I buy a packet of sausages I have to consider the use by date and if I will really be able to cook/eat four meals of sausages between now and then (also bearing in mind the dates of other food I've got at home and in my basket). Fish fingers are a nuisance as they come in a pack of 10.

So, mostly, it's best just to not buy/use meat as it's a big food commitment in the coming days.

For some reason, as someone who never really cares much about celebrity stuff, the whole saatchi/lawson thing has made me sad...hmm, pensive more than sad maybe.

Yep - next year's Nigella Xmas Cooking special isn't a glowing, large house, filled with people and fun, she'll be toasting marshmallows over a tealight in a bedsit alone

That looks fanatastic. What fun to have a band and a movie. Definitely worth a POSH ALERT.

There was an outdoor cinema at a wedding we attended last year which is my only experience of such things outside of a festival.

One of the most unusual (but fun) weddings I went to had no speeches. It was a carvery meal in a huge barn on a lovely sunny day, & as everyone finished eating the groom stood for what everyone thought was the speeches. There were none. Instead he directed everyone to make their way to the ice-cream van that was pulling up on the car park!

Murray: the lad done good. I thought 3-0 flattered him a little but he was certainly good for it. I think the British/Scottish debate is now closed. At what point does he become English?

Top top person is Andy Murray. Very funny (dry with it) & a lot more intelligent than most give him credit. Dedicated too.

Tends to be narrow minded middle england who dislike him. & xenophobes.

There is also photographic evidence that he is highly intellingent:

I tried that line, but it didn't get me anywhere.

What makes you sad about it? If he treats her like that, then he doesn't deserve her surely?

Eurovision 2014 is 6/8/10 May (See, I did do something useful this morning), where is TBD.

Let the 'Oh no, I need to rebook my hotel room' mayhem begin!

Isn't treating her 'like that' something to be sad about too?

The whole thing is kind of depressing. They are two people who should have 'everything', deposited a lot of sadnesses in their lives...even those should have contributed to their everything and understanding of what is precious.

Next years might be more genuine even?

All this BBQ/food talk made me wonder..... do NPs eat bigger portions than me? I know, at a BBQ, with unlimited food, we'd all tuck away a good 8 things..... before being unable to move or ever want to even mention food again, but what's a "normal portion" when you're mentally planning to eat/feed?

Here's mine:

Sausages: 2
4oz Burgers: 1
Fish fingers: 2-3 (brain says 2, eyes say 3)
