  1. :D I remember that one. I hate when people ask for salt before they've even tried it :lol: The guest I hate most on that programme is the woman (I think her name was Pippa) who was really grumpy and picky all week, and locked someone out when it was her night because she was a few minutes early. She really wound me up.
  2. Book 4: Things I Want My Daughter To Know by Elizabeth Noble

    From Amazon:

    "'My beautiful girls. If you've read this, you'll know it contains some - not all, but some - of the things I want my daughters to know. And the greatest of these is love ...' How would you say goodbye to those you love most in the world? Barbara must say a final farewell to her four daughters. But how can she find the words? And how can she leave them when they each have so much growing up to do? There's commitment-phobic Lisa. Brittle, unhappily married Jennifer. Free-spirited traveller Amanda. And teenage Hannah, stumbling her way towards adulthood. Barbara's answer is to write each daughter a letter, finally expressing the hopes, fears, dreams and secrets she couldn't always voice. These words will touch the girls in different - sometimes shocking - ways, unlocking emotions and passions to set them on their own journey of discovery through life. "

     

    Wow, I loved this book. Started reading it at 12 last night and stayed awake until 4 to finish it (although I really shouldn't have, I had work to do today and was really sleepy :)). It was funny at times and really sad at times too (I don't often cry at books but I was balling my eyes out before page 40). The story is so sweet and each of the sisters has good aspects that I really latched onto and wanted each of them to have a happy ending. At the beginning, I thought it was going to be a bit depressing, along the lines of PS I Love You with the letter writing, but I was really surprised at how much of a feel-good book it was. Fantastic!
