Some of you know that we moved house at the end of last year. Dad gave me a cute little plaque to hang in the kitchen which says: “I only have a kitchen because it came with the house”. Talking to my brother last night, I told him that we’d been to Ikea and I’d got a lovely spice rack to fill a space in between two wall units. His reply was: “So what are you going to put in that then – DVDs or books?” Aren’t my family horrid to me? Mandy Nigella Worrall-Thompson

It took a while for the fumes to get to my side of the county. Is it pork that you are burning or is the local pig farm ablaze?

PMSL Sandra! I must admit that it's strange with me - I can cook and bake fine, any time I make something it gets eaten right up - but I can't seem to get organised with ingredients etc. We were in the last house 7 years and when the estate agent came round to value it, he said gosh your oven's in lovely condition and I said that it probably was, seeing as it was hardly ever used lol! Mandy :)
