Nothing like letting your hair down with a spot of polo

You know what's it's like when you split up from someone. It can be anxious time and invariably it ends up being a time of change and usually it's something simple like a new haircut. But when Ms Price splits up from Mr Reid she jets off to the swankiest ski resort ever and goes horse-riding on the snow at a posh snow polo contest. Katie's been in Klosters, the smart ski resort more akin to welcoming the likes of George Osbourne than women famous for err....taking their clothes off. But don't forget, the former jungle celebrity is a multi-millionaire,...

Count those calories!

Chocolate cakes (note the plural) and chocolate Martinis is our brand choc-tastic experience and we've just tried to count up all the calories involved in chocolate cup cakes, chocolate whoopie cakes and chocolate Martinis and we got to around three million, so we decided to stop. Who cares about calories when you can have this much fun in this trio of chocolate workshop! Actually, it's not THAT bad, as the chocolate used for this workshop is courtesy of Green and Blacks, so you know it's good quality and organic too! Now our halo has been firmly restored, we can tell...

Get controlling those skids!

Crikey here we go again with more wintery weather chaos! Just when we're all hoping to be driving home for Christmas, along comes another mega cold spell. We poked our noses out of Into the Blue HQ's door the other day and it was a bone-achingly -7 outside! Little wonder then that the roads were more like an ice rink that tarmac.

This spurred us on to by some mincemeat, with the intention of making some mince pies ourselves... [caption id="attachment_2476" align="alignleft" width="250"] Whahey!

End of the road for one of our fave cookery shows

[caption id="attachment_2403" align="alignright" width="250"] No more Ready Steady Cook..no more voting green pepper or red tomato...[/caption] Tragic news in the world of daytime telly with the announcement that cookery show 'Ready, Steady, Cook!' has been axed. Now we rememeber wayyyyy back in time when the show started. We were a student and, like many, we loved nothing better than a cup of tea and a sit down to watch Fern Britton and the chefs show us how to make a meal in minutes from a bag of ingredients costing no more than a fiver. Ah halcyon days! Loads of big...
