    I was going to go to the Taste of Xmas today but decided to go tomorrow. Any suggestions for things to must see or get?


    Got my free scarf from the Telegraph offer this morning, very nice it is too. Also got the free Waitrose choccies as both stores are at Canary Wharf. Spent a tenner in Waitrose though as I got free parking if I spent a tenner (saved me £3.50) and I needed some sausages and a pair of kitchen scales. So definitely not a nsd but a well spent day I think.

    I got the Telegraph today too - fingers crossed there are scarves left on Mon where I'm heading as we don't have a local A.R in town. Still, even if they don't I guess the chocs will be worth it.

    So, not a NSD for me again :o tomorrow hopefully will see me back on the NSD wagon else Spoony will be sending kippers my way again. Not out for dinner tonight though as one of our friends is ill so postponed until next week.

    Peaches - sorry to hear your day didn't quite work out as planned (I think we can guess who will be on nappy duty in your house for the rest of the weekend ;))

    Cheryl - your organisational skills astound me....and I'm a Virgo :rotfl:

    Drinks - Definitely worth trying the chocolate wine, vodka truffle and ginger liqueur.

    Food - There is a small stall called Petit Delight (the most amazing chocolate but quite pricey), goat cheese woolsery

    Enjoy
    MFW on your mark

    I managed to get out in the car today to visit Mam and then do some shopping, but my brother paid for the shopping as I have been buying quite a bit of it while I have been up here so that means I still managed to get NSD NUMBER 3 today

    What do you mean "insane jibbering", we have very intellectual conversations here, you'll put the newbies off if they think we're all a load of nutters:D:D
