Have either of you ladies ever read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdin?? If not I really suggest you do - it is brilliant and shocking and actually gives a pretty realistic idea of what working in a pro kitchen is like. The reason I mention it though, is there is a fabulous chapter about "Adam - last name unknown" who is this total reprobate pastry chef - drink, drugs the works, but he has this huge sourdough culture which is his baby - he calls it "the B**ch" and no matter how messed up he is, he never forgets to "feed the b**ch" brilliant, it is what inspired me to make sourdough in the first place - apparently you could forgive him anything once you tasted his bread.

BL - the cakes look amazing, so pretty and professional.
Jez - congratulations on your dress.Will we get a picture? I think my best saving so far was a pair of silk Jaeger trousers for £1 which would have cost £160 new!
I did threaten to add up all the things I've bought and work out the new prices, but it would be too scary! I don't buy any old rubbish. I am quite selective. Many of my bargains have been brand new with the original labels still on them. - Vera x
Been to the beach this afternoon.

How was the beach?? So jealous, it was a perfect day in London, but alas nobody to go with and did not fancy a trek to Brighton on my own. I am also quite selective and it is amazing what you can find. I found for sister today a beautiful brand new 100% organic cotton shirt by John Rocha from the designers at Debenhams range. I am also really lucky, both my parents work for Age Concern and they have a fantastic charity shop. My dad, who is a shopper of note, has been plucking the best of the best (hahaha, he gets to pick before it goes on sale) for his newly skinny daughters. My Mom just laughed and said "wait till you get up here and see, I wonder what he will bring home today" she also said he was so incredibly proud of us, as is she, which is brilliant. Lovely to have so many good strokes. Do you ladies ever come to London, we could hit the charity shops in Chiswick, Notting Hill, Kensington and Knightsbridge - you get the real designer bits there?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek


There is a H U G E Spider on my ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Time to move. hehe

I have not been shopping in London since my first trip to the UK in 1997!

Would be fun!! Maybe we could arrange a shopping spree sometime in November, when hubby is in California! If he gets to play, so do I!

I'd love to go to Nottinghill!! Love knightsbridge - stayed there with my mom, right across the road from the V&A. THat's be amazing!!

He;s moving. HE IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H E L P lol

Where is he now?Has he gone - or have you?
Forgot to say that Jamie's bowl looks good in the pics.

No, he is here. I have been standing on the oterside of the room waiting for him to move as he wandered directly over where i was sitting. He is on the ceiling. And honestly, he is ginormous.

His leg span is quite easily larger then a 50p coin. I'm not happy. lol And my nexk is getting sore looking up watching him constantly. LOL

I tried twice to catch him with a cup and peice of paper but every time I got halfway close and saw how big he was I chickened out.

I hate spiders.

Spiders mean money coming think of him as the money bringer for a shopping spree!!!! I usually try and get rid of them humanely, well get em into a cup and toss em from the window of the 4th floor!!!! Where is he now BL??? Can hubby not come and rid you of the beastie!!!

hubby is asleep

I won;t kill it - can't do that. But I want him to go behind the bookcase.

What a sissy. lol

But your housepiders here in the UK are so BIG, freaks me out a little. lol

Nooo these are small compared to my childhood spiders from deepest darkest africa, lol although I did get a huge fright when I saw a really biggie running on the floor outside my kitchen the other day!!! The hairy beasts are the worst!! Urgh....
