I do not eat processed noodles, but one of my children should eat them at some point clothed :rotfl:

My 7 year old son likes to hang around in his undies and he loves noodles. If I bought him naked noodles, I’d don’t think I’ll get him back in clothes.

I went for a meal in a Nigerian/Caribbean meal with my daughter. It was incredible value, as I had used a Groupon I bought late in 2017. My daughter gave me £5 to tip the waitress with.

We had such a feast of extraordinary tastes for our starters, our main meals and our cocktails, that as soon as I got home I bought another Groupon for the same restaurant.

The Groupon cost £17.85 for 2 starters, 2 mains with a side and 2 cocktails (It is usually £21 but I had a 15% off code). I saved a total of £50.56 :T

Current total = £1,470

What was the name of the restaurant if you don’t mind me asking.

Thanks for the recommendation.


One of things I really want to do this year is broaden my horizons and try new experiences.
