Camembert fondue:

Press a garlic clove and a couple of teaspoons of white wine in the cheese. Dampen the box it comes in a place in the oven/grill/or bbq until it begins to bubble (about 15 mins)

serve with crusty bread.

Crayola

This site is great for kids, lots of colouring pages and art activites.

Love this:

Dear Lord,

So far today, i'm doing alright.

I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grump, nasty, selfish or self indulgent. 

I have not whined, complained, cursed or eaten any chocolate.

I have charged nothing on my credit card.

But i will be getting out of bed in a minute, and i think i will really need your help then.

Lovely Lovely:

I have been been asking for these teatowels for birthday and christmas for years - hint hint!!

Also aren't these glasses gorgeous?
