Talking of telly, Kirstie’s Me Me Me and MY new Home is on tonight! I watched most of it last week, and will give it a miss tonight. I like elements of it, but for the most part it seems like one big boast about what she’s doing and how she appears to do nothing but shop. I wonder home much C4 are paying for her new stuff? The way she just slips in a casual ‘a lovely mirror I bought for just £150′ or whatever. She seems to have no concept that to most people ‘just spending’ the amounts she spouts out as if she’s got the best bargain in the world, is an awful lot of money that could be better spent. The thing that most cracks me up, is the titles. There she is happily knitting in a Stepford wife kind of way, wearing Louboutins!!!!! I note that in any going up the stairs shot, we are always privvy to a flash of the red soles of Mr Louboutin. So what she spends on one pair of shoes would pay a monthly mortgage repayment of the average bod. Ok, she’s clearly quite well off and how she spends her loot is totally her bizniz (would I not live in Louboutin if I could? Absolutely) but I think C4 should have put this series on hold, until things were looking up for the rest of the country. It’s not exactly giving helpful thrifty decorating ideas is it? Just pure self indulgence. I mean, hand printing your own wallpaper at £100 a pop?!!!!! Dear oh dear oh dear. Talk about missed opportunity!

Now I’ve said my bit I will away. Have fun this weekend! But keep safe and aware of this swine flu thing. What a worry, like we don’t all have enough to worry about.

Did you see Hell’s Kitchen? I was glad Linda won, but deep down I wanted Ade to win. He has made me laugh so much with his Marco impressions. Totally brilliant. So glad Anthea was booted out reasonably early, her and her dull hubby were so annoying. What was all that ‘would you look after Anthea’ rubbish to Marco about? Honestly. She wasn’t going to war or anything, and it was only for a few days. If they are that OTT I’m glad I don’t know them. Couple of drips!

Came to warn you about Liz Jones’ diary page today. If you are feeling weepy in any way, give it a miss. She writes about her cat dying and it had me in floods of tears. She wrote it so well you could feel her pain. She loved that cat, it was heart wrenching to read. I’m still snivelling about it now.

got to go. Hope you have a lovely Sunday, and I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow.

ooh, must go to the C4 site, and see if I can watch the Kirstie programme there, miss the Cath interview part! xxxxx

saw your comment. I saw half of the Kirstie programme last night. I watched ‘My Family’ on BBC then switched over. I was chortling away watching her running up cushions on the sewing machine, while she ranted on about how great it was! Reminded me so much of me! I enjoyed what I saw, and I plan to move in with her parents. Love their house! I want to alter it just a tiny bit, making it less cluttered and more floral, but ooh, other than that it’s perfect. I love the kitchen. Really looks like my kind of prog. so next week I’ll tape it so I can watch it from start to finish.
Hope your day has been good, sounds like you’ve been busy! xx

I remember when he married Lisa Butcher. I bought Hello! (or could have been Ok!) and thought what a stroppy git he looked. Turned out he wasn’t happy with her choice of frock. I remember it clearly. It was Bruce Oldfield designed, but could be wrong. Fitted, absolutely beautiful apart from two cut out bits, either side of the waist. Totally ruined what was an elegant and stunning dress. Anyway, apparently Marco did not like it, he felt it was a dress ‘for the world’ rather than for him. must say I feel he has a point, it was more ‘ooh, look at me’ rather than ‘this is for the man I love’. However, she did look beautiful in it.

Did you watch his show last year, the one where he cooked a three course meal and went around the country to find the Best of British? Brilliant. He is such a lovely man really, with just a scary hint of madness. He doesn’t drive, which is why he had is driver Mr Wuu. I read somewhere that he drives on his own land, but hasn’t passed his test which is why he can’t drive on roads. (Can you imagine being the examiner and turning to MPW and saying ‘sorry Mr White, you have failed’! Crikey! Who would want that task?!) It cracked me up when they passed some donkeys and MPW asked Mr Wuu to stop, then went back and chatted to the donkeys for a while. Afterwards he kept rambling on and saying ‘I love donkeys’. It was hilarious, he seemed bonkers! Bonkers but brilliant. Safe to say I am a fan of Marco. I think he’s fab and much nicer than Ramsay who is too far up his own backside for my liking, and why he feels the need to say ‘yes?’ on the end of each sentence is beyond me. Man is an idiot.

hope today has been a good day. Sounds like you did well yesterday, and yes, you and your mum certainly had shopping in common! xxxxx

I’m bored of the patrick/tommy/root (who is she?)/’whatever the bloke who was seeing Chelsea name was’ thing too. Who cares? I mean really. Who cares. Another storyline that comes out of nowhere for no apparent reason, just to get The Equalizer on the show! Ridiculous. Get back to interesting stuff.

What I wish they’d also do is get rid of noisy eating and shuffling. Worst Offender is Max Branning. My God, he sounds like a pig at the trough when he eats, and how come he can’t utter a word when standing without constantly shuffling his feet in the most noisy way ever. Doesn’t ANYONE have carpets in the East End of London!? Clearly not there, anyway. Look out for it if you haven’t noticed. If you can hear anything over the sound of him chomping or slurping red wine, that is!

Normally I love the Enders, but lately I’m finding it really tedious.

Hurrah for Marco! I love his touch of madness. I had to tape it last night, started watching it but was too tired. I should make him a sarnie, mine are fab, even if I do say so myself! xxxxx

On another matter. Have been to the post office this morning. Hopefully your little something should be there soon. xxxxx
