I bought the What Not To Wear book for my mum for Christmas and she loves it. It basically splits the book into sections ie: big boobs, long legs, flabby tummy and gives you pictures showing the worst things to wear and the best things to wear. Not sure how much the book is on Amazon, I bought it off Ebay for my mum for £9 which wasn't a bad price really but ... hmm .... if you've got £30 to play about with. I guess it's up to you really. I've never tried the dance mat things but I'd love to give them a go!!
Its less than that, it's about £6 :) I want everything now. I just remembered that I wanted Jack Dee's new DVD so I have pretty much mentally spent my money on a book (not sure which yet), the Rainbow book and that DVD! I would love a dance mat too. It's just a shame that I know I'd only use it a couple of times :( Maybe I will treat myself if/when I earn some money.. You may be able to help me with something actually. A few months ago I listed some old books on Amazon marketplace. They were shite and none of them ever sold. But just after I listed them I got a weird sealed bit of paper from Amazon with a code on which I have now lost. Do I need that to list any more stuff? Need to make money and de-clutter!!
ooh my cousin got the dancemat thingy for christmas. was very funny. :) i have pictures on my camera, but sadly i do not have the lead with me.
seems like a good idea for a game, but bit of a pointless thing to spend money on (or vouchers). i mean, can't you just dance by yourself? :P or indeed with stu!
Well I don't know, Amazon seems to have them for £30 for the game and mat (which is too much) but I am waiting until someone recommends one. I doubt I'll get it anyway. And no I can't dance by myself, and that's not nearly as much fun anyway :P
When it comes to books, I would seriously recommend "Sleeping With the Enemy" by Nancy Price. It's one of the few that I've had for years and not donated to a charity shop!
Forget about the film, as it's rubbish in comparison, but I would tell anybody and everybody to read "Sleeping With the Enemy".
Will bear that in mind! Amazon doesnt seem to be selling it at the moment but will look in future. Haven't actually seen the film I don't think, so is a good option :)
I would recommend She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, Foxfire by Joyce Carol Oates and White Oleander by Janet Fitch. Any books by Joanne Harris or Francesca Lia Block are good too.
Thanks :) "She's come undone" looks especially good and I am now toying between buying several books, argh! I read "Violet and Claire" and it disappointed me :( I don't know what I was expecting it to be. Will have to read another of her books before passing any real judgement though..
I have, I am going to read it again soon actually. It scared the hell out of me and made me feel sick, but at the same time those are the best books really aren't they, as they stay with you..
i've never had any desire to diet or exercise or lose weight or anything, even though my body isn't exactly as i'd like it. so i don't identify with her at all. but it's still a fascinating book to read, and i recognise bits of her in various lj friends, which is quite scary.

Also I recommend that you buy loads of Loreena McKennit cd's!! She's quite Medieval, and is a wonderful accompaniment to a candlelit dinner!
