my DS is ill and was up half the night, and my mum who is babysitting isn't that well herself. Fingers crossed they'll both be a bit better by tomorrow but I won't know until tomorrow afternoon.

jura - I went on one of those Leith's events a few years ago. It was fantastic, and there was plenty of wine, but sadly I was pregnant at the time so couldn't indulge. It was much less "competitive" than I'd anticipated - although they did put you in teams - and you get a free Leith's apron .

(Or happily I was pregnant )

Jura - I have done the one week Leith course the aprons are great and teh lamb is a good dinner party dish if you can be arsed.

This sounds fun. Could we do a mumsnet meet up at Leith's?

Oh, I just looked at the website (avoiding work, you know). And you are going to be fairly close to the restaurant, right? If you get out of there at a reasonable hours (like before midnight) come join us at Patara.

Yes please!

Won't forgive you if you don't.

OK the good news is that my mum will have DS even if he's ill but I may have to skip work so not sure if I'll make the drinks beforehand. Either way will see you all at Patara.

Yippee. Glad you are coming.
