I haven't eaten him yet. I've got a very big cucumber to eat too, but I don't know if I can do it!

Your dad is cool. Mine would squash me for that. Chocolate on the other hand would make him very happy!

Your website sounds interesting - please tell more!

I'm afraid it's true that I'm an X Factor addict. I really am.

However, I don't watch much TV either - there are just a few select programmes, because sadly I find much of the stuff on TV utterly senseless and shallow, and in some cases completely infuriating.

For example, I do wonder how much longer Katie Price can drag her TV career out for, and programmes like Sexectera are just a complete disgrace.

Anyway, getting off my soap box now.

Thanks!

And please do let me know if you blog about ethical make-up companies - I'd love to read it. Another blogger pointed me to this the other day, which I thought was interesting:

http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1

I haven't had a good look through yet, but I will.

Should I use cosmetics - which I actually don't anymore except mascara very occasionally - I would use one of the suppliers on here:

http://www.getethical.com

Which I must confess is a website I look after for my work. But I didn't post this blog to promote my work I promise!

I think the website could be at the heart of the next revolution...indeed, perhaps it already is.

I am so excited by the Internet at the moment....especially social media and the power the Internet has given to the people - every Tom, Dick and Harry can now have a voice that can be heard internationally. I guess that's also a little scary, but terribly empowering and exciting.

Excellent post....I must confess I am not into much TV at all - least of all programmes such as X Factor...;)

Great post and couldn't agree more.
Without getting too heavy about it, I wonder if the web could one day produce the equivalent of the French Revolution!

Loved your blog.

Could i just ask, you boycott cosmetic companies on the grounds of ethics, and for that i applaud you.

But which cosmetic companies do you use? who would you consider an ethical make-up company.

Hope you don't mind me asking, may possibly do a review of ethical make-up companies on my blog.

Hi there - totally get the frustration. I visit my grandmother in India yearly and use it as an excuse to get everything altered at her super efficient (and cheap by our standards) tailor.

My friend and I were discussing this issue and so we are experimenting on a website called Whatsmysize.com with waist and bust sizes to suggest great fitting clothes.

I will have a think about trouser legnths for you… and happy to take any help/suggestions etc...

I've had that puff pastry/mushroom thing, and I loved it! Times are definitely changing for the better now and that's a good thing. 20 years ago, the only veggie thing in many places was chips and salad.
