Fiona Duff: Forking out for Jamie's lost cutlery
However, there is something that is concerning me a lot more, to be honest. I have no idea where all the forks in our home have gone – that really isn’t a joke.
At one point I had 16, having bought two sets of Jamie Oliver cutlery from TK Maxx.

Anyway, at last count I have six lying in the kitchen drawer.
I have quizzed the offspring and demanded that they check under their beds to see where the missing forks are because I know that they aren’t under my bed.
Although when I did look there it was amazing what I found, including a pair of thermal socks which have proved very handy during this cold spell of weather.

Occasionally, it is some of my favourite clothes – although they are sometimes under my bed or have been pilfered by one of my daughters.
Other things that have disappeared recently are earrings (well, they were absolutely tiny), a leather dog lead and a bar of chocolate that I had hidden in a different kitchen drawer.
If you asked my husband to add to that list he’d probably claim that I have also lost my marbles.

So, whatever, I don’t suppose it really matters too much in the great scheme of things, because whoever I vote for in the next election won’t be able to find my forks.
