Not long now ’til we see this coat\u2026 And more walks in the woods for me this week, proving how warm it keeps me, including walking past some of the Narnia-themed installations in Banstead Woods\u2026 Can you see the “coats” swinging in the wardrobe? They are made of wood as well. \ud83d\ude42 Brad visited with Blake this week and we had a lovely walk past some of the icons from this amazing children’s book series. I can\u2019t wait ’til she is older when I will be able to read her all the stories.<\/p>\n

Standby for a brilliant Christmas gifting weekend, with a big Black Friday feel already. Lots of early bird links below, and look out for the video of me playing the new arcade game Today\u2019s Special Value, which I launch on Saturday night 9pm (21st). But first\u2026 Looks like lockdown is sending Linda a bit loopy\u2026<\/p>\n

My sister is cray cray<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

You thought Mally<\/strong><\/a> had the monopoly on cray cray. This is my sister Linda (you may remember her from being a nail guest a while back on QVC, she now works in a spa in Carshalton for those who wonder.) She has two granddaughters like I do, and she is putting on a Nativity. Yes, a Nativity. She sent off for the song sheets and scripts and everything. \ud83d\ude42 The little ones are going to do their parts on video and they are going to edit them all together. The thing is\u2026 She\u2019s got well into it! She keeps sending off for little age five to six-year-old Nativity fancy dress costumes, and tries them on and practices the singing. I would not put you through the video she sent me of her singing. It\u2019s a song for a modern Nativity where it\u2019s all about the mouse that\u2019s being chased out of the stable (in case you wondered what the crazy grey costume was.) Linda was Mary when she was at Morden Farm Primary School all those years ago, and I think she\u2019s never got it out of her system! Bless her heart. But there is no record of it\u2026<\/p>\n

The great thing is with technology, not only can we do all this, we can also put together snippets of videos, which they will have for years to come… including when they get married and these embarrassing childhood clips will reappear – you can count on it ha ha.<\/p>\n

Snippets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monstera problem<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

I got given this plant to look after so it gets some sunlight in my bright flat while its owner is away, and my goodness me it is truly suffering! It\u2019s a monstera (cheese plant) and apparently this brown marking might be something to do with root rot, but the roots are really dry. Any ideas anyone?<\/p>\n

Longer hair<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Like this picture? Rachael the stylist was back doing make-up this week and hadn\u2019t seen my hair for quite a while, and she commented how long it\u2019s gotten! The Dyson<\/strong><\/a> Airwrap<\/a> is really helping to keep it in good condition nowadays I have to say, and with far less heat damage than ever before it\u2019s growing longer. What do you think?<\/p>\n

Marie Francoise\u2019s second bundle<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Yes, she\u2019s announced it! Marie Francoise Wolff, our lovely Kipling<\/strong><\/a> guest is expecting her second baby. They will be quite close, but not quite as close as me and my sister who are 18 months apart. Lucky girl!<\/p>\n

Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well what can I say, ‘The Crown’ was superb. I binge watched all ten hours, yes, ten hours, late into the night last week, while doing lots of admin, newsletters and cards. This fourth series stretches well into living memory, and of course some of it is fictionalised. But it does make you wonder what happened with the relationship between Charles and our beloved Di. Highly, highly recommended. \ud83d\ude42 Also if you want something compelling, featuring a royal of a different kind, look out for ‘Queen’s Gambit’, high up on the Netflix charts. Based on a girl breaking into the man’s world of chess, wonderful period details and a feisty heroine, stretching from her early years upwards. Lots of people have talked about this and have said they are watching it so it is another one to watch!<\/p>\n
