Gordon ramsay in the soup

I watch a lot of television cooking programmes hosted by different chefs - it's one of my favourite types of TV programme. Gordon Ramsay though has never been my favourite TV chef. he's just to course and foul mouthed for my liking. If Gordon Ramsay is like that at home then I really don't know how his wife puts up with him.

Gordon Ramsay hit the papers this week when he published an open letter to his mother-in-law. Now I know some men seem to find their mothers-in -law a bit daunting but I bet few have had to resort to communicating with them using an open letter printed in a newspaper. Why Gordon Ramsay chose this approach to trying to deal with a family issue is beyond me - it's really very strange.

The issue seems to be that his father-in-law was the CEO of Ramsay's company and according to Ramsay he had been making a mess of it ( I'm sure Ramsay would describe it as a F*ing mess). So he fired him. This appears to have resulted in threats from the in-laws about breaking of contact. Ramsay's letter was hardly what conciliatory and he has now followed it up by sacking more members of his wife's family.

I feel sorry for Mrs Ramsay in all this - she seems as if she must be stuck in the middle. I wonder ho much of this she'll stand for before she starts laying down some rules both to her family and her husband. No more open letters is one rule you should go for girl.

iphone SIM only plan

I came across a good deal from Vodafone today for anyone who already has an iPhone but isnt happy with their current tariff. It's a Sim only deal that includes 600 minutes of calls, unlimited texts a 1 GB data allowance and a flexible 30 day agreement all for only £25 per month.

1 GB of data is a generous allowance and woudl allow up to around 10,000 emails/web pages or about ,000 minutes of streaming video. Apparently the deal also includes a 1GB monthly allowance to BT Premium Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots. This seems like avery good deal particularly as the contract is a short term one were you are only committed to a 30 day sin up period. Vodafone has great coverage right across the UK so this is a deal that lots of people should be able to benefit form. Details of the Vodafone SIM only deal are here.

Shopping done it's Christmas Eve Broadband

Well I have finished the Christmas Shopping and I'm all set for Christmas eve.

We had a nice homemade ream of chicken soup when we came in wth crusty bread. It was really warming after trudging through the cold snow streets. We have a large turkey and a brand new roasting try for the occassion. The wines in - it was going for 3 bottles for £10.

The tree is looking a treat with the lights and the presents.

This year my own best present will be if everything goes well and everyone enjoys the meal. I've tried to come up with a nice menu that everyone will love.

I'm now getting onto the internet by mobile broadband from our laptop for the past year or so and it's great. It will mean we can take a laptop anywhere we want and be reasonably sure of having access to our email and blogs or to use Google for searching for stuff and so on.

I know people who have mobile broadband who found that unfortunately there are still lots of places where the Mobile Boradband signal isn't as string as it might be. So hubby decided that when we ordered the mobile usb dongle we should also get a long range signal booster for Broadband dongles with a CRC9 USB Modem connector What a difference it's made, I know others haven't had the best signal round here bt i'm now getting a great signal.

Talking about signals I wonder if I put on my sexy underwear tonight if I'll get lucky with hubby? Silly question!!
