Frog, I know what you mean, I always consider it when I go to manchester selfridges - theres a proper champagne bar near the designer clothes and it just overlooks manchester and itd be lovely to go at dusk..

Unfortuantly - in Bham, they dont have the champagne bar now i dont think. On saturday, there was the Indian one and the cake one - but where the champagne was, its now just shelves etc for xmas, whether or not itll return after xmas - but it seems odd to me, to get rid of something so decadent on the run up to xmas, where people are prepared to splash out more!!

Iv been to the noodle bar before - I did enjoy it I am a preferer of wagamamas though really. I do enjoy going to the yo sushi stand there though.

YAY selfridges.

I dont particually like the london selfridges though - feels a little more snobish!!

What do you think to the jelly bean big animal thing - 20,000k for that. Would you pay £20 thou for that? lol. I wouldnt.

Oh, the jelly bean bull. £20,000!!! crazy

I looked on the website for Birmingham and it says there is a champagne bar on the fourth floor - maybe this has replaced the verve cliquot one. I don't remember one there before

Those cocktail bars sound really nice, hope you both get a chance to go.

The weather forcast shows rain tomorrow, so my daughter does not think it is a good idea to go to the museum, so it has been postponed till another time.

So I will be going to Birmingham - but I have said I don't want it as a shopping trip. I'd like to go to the Art Gallery, visit the teashop there afterwards for a drink - then go to Selfridges and have a meal there.

Any shopping has to be minimal. I am not trudging around with crowds of people with loads of bags

What has everyone been up to today?

FR, I hope you are enjoying your special day:smileyhea

I had a very early fasting blood tests then went out to breakfast and did some pressie shopping, looked at some clothes - nothing bought. I still haven't unpacked that cardigan I bought some days ago. I've also been procrastinating about some other things that need sorting out.

I'm still a bit tired after MM's visit then DS coming home and going out that night with him and talking to the early hours. I went to bed at a ridiculous hour on Sunday night just when I had to get up very early. Ds also went away again on Sunday and I thought would be back by now although with him you never know when it will be, possibly not even today.
