So you can blog your entries at any time from 1st -28th or hold on to them a few days for the next month’s round of entries. The announcement post will go live on the 1st of the month with the new Linky. When the new system settles down I’ll get some people to host – I have a list of lots of you who have asked to but I’m too disorganised to get this set up in advance and always end up hosting myself at the last minute. The current host is Sarah at Maison Cupcake i.e. Now that we’ve gone through a year of themes, without getting repetitive any new themes are likely to be too specific, especially if people only have one Nigella book.Īlthough we’re ditching the theme, I suspect that seasonality will play a big part in who enters what anyway.įorever Nigella now starts on the 1st of each month and ends on the 28th. The theme will be pure Nigella from now on. The badge will still get the dates updated monthly although I won’t nag my husband to redesign it every month – maybe 3-4 times a year instead as I know you like the pretty designs!

More consistent, easier to keep up to date with, easier to keep track of who else is entering – both for you and me. It’s in this relaxed mode that I launch the new look Forever Nigella. I probably won’t post as frequently for a while but rest assured I am still here, chilling out, taking some time to look after myself for a change – for six hours a day during the week at least. With the book all but finished and my son at school, I’m finally enjoying a bit of peace and “me time”. A rug was pulled from under me when Ted arrived three months early and ever since I’ve felt like someone holding arms full of boxes and being expected to walk upstairs whilst someone placed still more on top. It’s only by stepping off the hamster wheel for a few weeks that I realised how long it had been since I just did stuff around the house without feeling guilty that I was procrastinating doing something else. I had meant to take some time out last January but it never happened so this year I’m determined to have a proper break!

Apart from checking email on my phone I’ve barely sat down in front of the computer for nearly a month. I try to avoid “me me me” outpourings on here but feel I owe my regular readers an explanation for the lack of regular recipes lately.īeing frank for a moment, I haven’t felt like baking for the site and the Christmas tree was hogging the best spot in the house for taking food photos. I mess you about, I disappear, I kind of shrug back and then loaf off again with little more than an occasional tweet. I don’t deserve the lovely readers I have, I really don’t.
