Sugar Shock Sunday

Finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, cakes, tea and champagne... I knew it was going to be too much food but I ordered this 'champagne afternoon tea' anyway.

I was so full afterwards (and I only ate about a third of what was served) that I secretly vowed to myself never to order this again. The vision of this woman from the film Wall-e, which my son happened to be watching, haunted me as I still sat at the cluttered table:

Tomorrow I am going to re-start my yoga with renewed determination; I have been slacking off due to the allergies and a cold. Shouldn't be too difficult to motivate myself!

Nicholas Cage Buys a Pyramid Despite Financial Woes

Despite his being embroiled in debts because of lavish purchases, Nicholas Cage is in it again - he bought a 9 foot mausoleum shaped like a pyramid. Yes, like a pyramid, like a pyramid... as that Charice song goes. Nicholas has set this giant pyramid inside a cemetery in New Orleans to serve as his final resting place. Wow, he might just want to be treated like a Egyptian pharaoh?

Nicholas Cage is somewhat unpredictable with his extravagance - buying a crystal skull and a castle before. Now, this - while his Bel-Air home is foreclosed and it's on auction for $10.4 million. He's also facing a tax bill amounting to $5 million due to a mistake made by his financial adviser. Fellow actor Johnny Depp has vowed before to help him with financial woes. We're thinking - how will he pay for it?

My secret: The 2+1 men in my life

Um, did I ever tell you that I have a teenage daughter who adores the Twilight series and this is why I had to get her this DVD? You wouldn't believe what a fan she is of Edward Cullen / Robert Pattinson...

Ok, I admit it, I don't have a teenage daughter but at times like this I sort of wish I did. Because I'm a wee bit embarrassed to admit that I have a crush on Edward. (I think I'm too old.)

I say Edward because I prefer him as Edward, the perfect gentleman with the perfectly plucked eyebrows. Robert P in real life - in premiere photos - doesn't always look as handsome and he smokes (boo) but his natural skintone and eye colour are better, of course.

So by 2+1 I mean my husband, my son + Edward Cullen. Don't worry, my husband knows all about Edward. And my son's seen photos of him and said he doesn't like Edward's lovely hair. Well, I shall forgive him for not liking men.

It's important to note that I did not pre-order this DVD or rush out to buy it. I am not that desperate. Really.

I know what I shall be doing next week when I have the house to myself...

Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Movie Peg for the iPhone

I love my Gorillamobile, as you know, because it works so well. You can attach it anywhere and it stays put.

I just found a new product that's not quite an alternative because it's not as flexible as the Gorillamobile but it is cheap (much cheaper), small and easy to carry around and also seems to do a good job at propping up the iPhone.

The Movie Peg comes in different colours -

and works like this.

If I didn't have my Gorillamobile already, I would definitely want to try this out.
Have you?
