WAN - have fun in Town - I remember spending £79 on lipgloss on the Stila counter in Selfridges when I was first expecting DS! Make-up was always my downfall when pregnant. Could you treat yourself to a new Jo Malone candle? If you burn it throughout your pregnancy, it will always take you back there in the future. Same goes for body lotion or perfume.
Other purchases could be; ballet flats, great scarves, cardigans (nice cashmere wrap type maybe?), handbags (am I getting a bit carried away now??)
MrsCB - glad you had a great holiday - I can't remember where you went (if you said). Weather sounds amazing and now you're back to this!! Hope you get your coffee soon.
Pickled - Ballet show sounds traumatic!! Had a lovely evening thanks, ate far too much in PE and loved Harry Potter - I shed tears at several points!!
Ice-cream - As a student I used to work at the Chester Grosvenor and it's a really special place. DH and I have been back and stayed a few times now, tell them its a special occasion, we've had a room upgrade three times!! (And the 1st was the first time we stayed so it wasn't like they thought we were regulars). The main restaurant is fantastic and (I've bored people with this before) the Brasserie does the best Caesar Salad at lunchtime!! Worth going in for even if you don't stay. Friends of ours have stayed at Abode and said it was really lovely. I'm envious of you going to Chester, are you just having a mini-break or are you working?
Carciofi - cutting down on carbs works for me too but I always struggle to stick at it for longer than three weeks, I just love bread, pasta, potatoes... (says the girl who had a Pizza for supper last night!)
