    I wrote on a piece of paper about 7 years ago that I would like to work with children when I retire, I was at some training day. That is still my ambition to be a lunchtime supervisor in a school , dinner lady as was . Can’t wait just hope I get to retire at 60.

    You're so glamourous. The Shard eh! I think I'm posh at weatherspoons.

    I'm not sure naughty food counts if it's someone else's. I'm sure it classed as zero calories. ;):rotfl:

    I hope you wake up well tomorrow. Migraines must be so debilitating.

    Get you DIA , how posh, lunch at the Shard. I must say Cloud 21 the Hilton in Manchester is about as close as I can get to that. Seriously though what a great treat .

    Maybe you should use paper plates , plastic cutlery when you are so busy (hehe)

    Your food always sound really nice , have a good evening.

    Ooh your cod sounds lovely! I do love a nice meal out at a swish restaurant, although it's been a while. For my husband's 30th I took him to Tom Kitchin's restaurant (Michelin star x1 I believe) and it was the most exciting dining experience we've ever had. The food was immense, the place was stunning, the service was impeccable and the gin was a delight. It was almost £100 for a 3 course lunch and a couple of drinks though... Hence why we haven't been back there in 2 years!

    Hope the migranes have done a bunk - you don't need to be sitting in the office with a sore head, just torture.

    Your meals sound both delicious and healthy - I am very jealous!

    Yes, The Kitchin in Leith is a Michelin.
    Well worth a visit.

    Your bargain facial sounds delightful! I hope it helps to lift your spirits :)

    Sorry to hear about the squirrels - hope they are sorted out pronto!

    Your Thai chicken curry sounds delightful - enjoy.
