It's been a while since I've done a survey and this appeals to the listmaniac in me.

SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x's next to the films you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun!

Now Add them up and......apparently, I am devoid of a life.

Completely ridiculous. Who in their lifetime has not seen more than 85 films? I've probably watched about half of those films more than once. Also, I'm a little confused as to why they were in little groups. Was it to aid the counting because as far as I can see, most of them don't have anything in common with each other.

Anyway, I'm feeling lazy so this is going to be a bit of a show and tell entry.

I've been on a bit of a baking frenzy this week. I keep on buying bunches of bananas and not eating them, so what's a girl to do on a Sunday afternoon but bake Nigella's banana bread? Not only is it idiotically easy to make but the call for rum in the recipe provides the perfect excuse for you to swan around your kitchen in your apron and pyjamas muttering: "But why the rum?"

Then yesterday, as I was going to see Hot Fuzz for a second time with a friend, I also managed to make good on a bet I won with him. A few weeks ago, we made our predictions for the Brits and we agreed that the winner with the most correct predictions would be entitled to a homemade cake from the loser. So, I skipped home with a belated Christmas present and lovely fruit cake with some sort of cream cheese icing (I'm guessing).

And today, I decided to wade into the murky waters of savoury baking with Delia's buttermilk cheese and chive scones. I was trying to recreate the scones which are served at the Pump Rooms in Bath. Unless you are venturing there for breakfast anytime soon, you will have to take my word that they are light, moist, crumbly bites of a particularly cheesy heaven. Behold:

I must admit, I cannot resist a recipe which calls for me to use all the shiny baking accoutrements that I have amassed (in this case, a rolling pin, cookie cutters and my faux-Cath Kidston cake tins). The sense of accomplishment that accompanies a successful bake is doubly enhanced if you have, at some point, wielded a floury rolling pin.

Finally, I bid goodbye to my lovely electric blue iPod mini this week. As much as I love it, it was proving a little inadequate for my record collection. (My Girls Aloud back catalogue was taking up at least half the memory...) Say hello to my new iPod:

Dishy, isn't it?
