    Does she eat it often, then?

    Except it's expensive and you might not like the food .... so then you're sitting there forcing yourself to eat it because you're hungry and paid for it .... or .... get the menu again, order again, wait again ....

    Too expensive :)

    I used to be quite conservative in restaurants. Now I know if I don't like it and don't eat it the world doesn't end. What I would do if eating alone is something new and something safe...so if I were ordering something a bit out there as a main course I might opt to get a starter (where as if I know I like it I will only order one or other because of the capacity factor!). Or take a leap of faith if there is something for pudding you might like that's enough to tied you over till the next baguette and baked beans or frozen kebab:D:)

    MSE dilemna.

    I went to Boots after I came out of court, to buy some moisturiser, conditioner, and a present for my sister's birthday. I saw she'd got come very posh bath and shower stuff, that she liked, and thought I'd get it.

    As a result of Boots' 2-for-the-price-of-3 thingy, her posh bath stuff was £0, instead of £12.

    Is it just mean to give it to her? Or sensible?

    Can I just suggest if anyone has shares in Pizza Hut or Papa Johns, you might want to sell them now.

    Haven't ordered anything from them in well over a month now thanks to this diet, and the text/email offers are getting ever more frequent and desperate sounding. :)

    It's freezing here, too. I was distinctly chilly in the High Court this morning, but wigs and gowns have their advantages, they are nice and cosy.

    But outside it's wellying down. I'm going to go and hurl some stuff in a bag for our weekend with my parents, better concentrate on the woolies, I think!

    I'm just about to light te wood burner. Ridiculous, truly ridiculous near the end of may.

    Sensible. IMO.


    Otherwise you might have bought the other stuff more cheaply elsewhere.

    Sensible. Its value and worth and use haven't changed. It's still the same gift.
