    In a way yes! Boyf took me to the theatre and then the Savoy for dinner in our first year of going out and I though that was soooo cool (his mate was Chef at Savoy at the time so we had Al A Carte but with some of the Tasting dishes added for free), but my night blew his out of the water!

    Have told him, it's his turn again next so let's see what he comes up with........ :D

    Your nights out sound ever so posh. We usually get chips from the local chippy for our anniversaries :o

    Thanks Boris-I think it needs a clean out-not sure what to do that with-may hop over to the OS board and ask them...will involve bicarb and stardrops I'm sure!

    Dont forget the lemon and white vinegar ;)

    It's only once in a while that we really go for it, normally it's take away or a quick meal knocked up by him (I hate cooking). I love fish and chips and Boyf loves Pizza so we normally disagree and end up getting Chinese ;)

    Morning all,

    So what's a good name for a red and white persian kitten then...

    So far I like Coco (as in Chanel not the clown!)

    my insomnia comes and goes to be honest. i reckon my biggest problem at the moment is I'm asleep by 7pm, awake at 8 until 10 then out of it until 4-5am. I persevered (i.e. I lay in bed with my eyes closed counting sheep)until 5.45 this morning but my stomach was doing amazing somersaults whilst grumbling so I decided to get up and make a fruit smoothie then do some housework. Only thing is, I'm really tired again now.:confused:

    Hi Cat - I suffer from insomnia quite a bit and I was told by the doc that the best thing to do when you have a bout of insomnia was to get up and do something rather than lie there and try to force the issue....it does work for me, I do sometimes end up exhausted during the day... but it passes. I also try not have naps although when I do it is only for 20 mins...

    It does help. Although when I was pregnant it was worse, but I just didn't fight it... go with the flow...

    My cats are: Toffee, Wizard, Lala (it was liquorice but lala stuck), Munchkin, Shadow and Chalky. We did have Ugli-cat who adopted us when she was at least 11 years old and despite our initial name of patch, everyone said when they saw her "that's one ugly cat" and it sort of stuck!

    But coco is lovely (chalky would have been coco but we already had a coco in the street, so I opted for an opposite name)!

    I guess it's important to know whether it's a male or femal cat cos my sister in law has a little girl cat call Bob

    What's wrong Sar? Why are you feeling down and meh?

    Of course, I'm sure this very British of summers were enduring isn't helping at all but I hope you feel better soon.
