...sixteen years old. Wayne was Coleen's first boyfriend. They now have a one month old son called Kai. Coleen left school after her G.C.S.Es. She has 11 G.C.S.Es , one of which is an A* in performing arts. She is now a celebrity in her own right , rather than being 'just the wife of a footballer'( also known as a W.A.G (Wives and Girlfriends). She is the face of Asda (a deal worth £1.5 million) , has her own fragrance , has deals with Nike womens wear ...
...was only a pound. Coleen's Real Style was released in 2008, so is fairly recent. In the book Coleen shares her fashion and beauty tips. I was really shocked when I looked on play.com , and saw that this book is currently selling for just over £16. I really cannot believe that I got my copy for £1 and there is nothing at all wrong with it! It doesn't make sense! I have the hardback version of the book ; the cover consists of Coleen in a white dress ...

A cooking journal

Advantages: Personalise it to you!
Disadvantages: heavy if you're posting!

Cook's Recipe Collection - Henrietta Heald This is a great item to buy as a present or even for yourself. I bought this for a present for Mrs B and she loves it. I wasn't sure at first as to what she'd think of it but I thought it would come in useful as she was always jotting down recipes from the tv or offline or what people told her and then losing them or moaning that they got torn/stained so I thought this would br an ideal place for ...
...recipe book, it is a place for you to store your own recipes that you collect over time. So if you have a family member who makes an amazing shortbread you can write down the recipe in this journal and keep it safe.

Christmas with the Domestic Goddess

Advantages: Offers a wide-range of ideas for use all year round
Disadvantages: Expensive, and if you follow it to a tee, you'll have a very stressed and expensive Christmas

...delicious, whether Lawson is in them or not. At £25, I would not have bought this book, but was pleased to receive it as a gift. Regardless, whether you have a traditional Christmas or a Nigella Christmas, I would like to wish you all best wishes for the festive season. ...

Delia is the reincarnated Mrs Beeton

Advantages: Wonderful cookery course that can teach even a seasoned cook a trick or two
Disadvantages: Not enough on special dietary needs

...as it covers almost everything that you would ever need. There are various Delia books on Amazon (I have the Cheat book, which I recommend also) but this Complete Cookery Course is still selling, and the hardback copy is on there at £16.25. Well worth it!! ...

Review of Complete Illustrated Cookery Course - Delia Smith

Charlie Brooker's War

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, well-written
Disadvantages: Repetitive, occasionally meandering

In Dawn of the Dumb, Charlie Brooker makes it very clear that he is angry. About television, about celebrity culture, about politics, about your children and, frankly, about you. His anger is not remarkable in and of itself; every third blogger on the Internet is attempting to rail against the world for various reasons. Brooker's distinctive streak is that he is genuinely laugh out loud hilarious in the expression of his rage. Dawn of the ...
...rage and scorn at humanity into a single volume so trenchant that it must be kept open at all times. If its covers were to be closed too tightly, it could collapse under the weight of its own compressed wit and suck your bookshelves into a black hole of rude words and pithy observations about contestants on Big Brother and The Apprentice. Covering 2004 - 2007, the book moves in chronological order. That is the only order on display in the book, ...
