    I really like Giraffe, as does my veggie best friend, she says they have one of the best range of veggie stuff in a non-veggie restaurant she's seen. DH not so keen, (as he's not keen on veg and salad ;) even though they have lovely meat things, there's so much extra veg and salad that he finds it offputting!), so BF and I often go when we're having a day out. Price pretty reasonable as well, although we often share a starter, or mezze platter thing so we never order 2 whole courses each etc. Quite generous portions too :)

    I also LOVE bravissimo, and especially the new pepperberry clothing range, but it's so expensive I've not bought anything yet! I do have a bravissimo pyjama top, which is amazing, much better when staying at other peoples houses etc, to feel that I don't have to get dressed right away!

    Got the new catalogue this week, so I guess it's worth popping into the store in case there's a sale on..... :cool:

    well I have to confess that I succumbed in Bravissimo and bought a new bra and matching undies. It's ages since I bought any, and all of mine are looking a bit tatty. It was cheap(ish) for Bravissimo though, the bra was only £25.

    I also bought the knitting bits I needed from John Lewis, and managed to get 4 birthday pressies sorted out. In october I have my uncle (surrogate dad), niece no1, nephew no1 and sisters no 3&4 on the same day, and sister no1 (plus BILs 1 and 4, but they only get cards :rotfl:). Everyone sorted apart from sisters 3 and 1, so feel like I've got a bit of breathing space now! Everything I got was quite bargainous, and I managed to get niece no2's christmas pressie as well.

    We do need to get a 21st pressie for DH's stepsister on 4th September though, and currently have no idea what to get. We got her a tiffany heart necklace for her 18th (supposedly joint with both BILs, but they never paid DH and it was pre-LBM so he didn't bother to chase them up :eek:) so I'm really not sure what sort of thing to go for. Guess I could text her mum and see if there's anything she wants, but I think a 21st pressie should be something special to keep. All suggestions welcome :)
