29 crepes a leaping.......

[magimedi]

Well, I've grabbed the bull by the horns & am leaping into the new thread........

Felt very sad no one else had started one whilst I scoffed dined.

If no one like the title I am more than happy to have it deleted & go with anything else.

DH has taken over the catering for the month of February......... the food is good but the angst is another matter

Batemans would be lovely.

And there is Kipling's Indinan Adventure on BBC2 tonight at 21.15 - all about his early days in India.

I am loaded down with charity shoppe haul. I'm so classy, me.

At wedding. There are over 100 people here and I am seated between the only two people in the room that I have shagged. One is DH. The other is not. Awkward is not the word.

Does DH know about the other one?

Am sure you can cope, MrsS.

MrsS You have shagged 2% of the people there. Given that maybe half are women, that is actually 4%

I went up west to get DS some new school shirts. I got my free cake and coffee in JL and some Clinique goodies

I bet some are children and vicars, so that might put the % up a bit too

I meant to say, what time are we aiming to meet up, as wouldn't mind working out trains etc....

Talk loudly about facial exercises MrsS.

Caminos KX is perfect for me, and I agree tis wise to book, BTM, very good of you to take that on.

I was going to try to book for 7pm, but maybe I should make it 6.30? If they have space - fingers crossed! Happy hour cocktails (241, and they were yummy!) are 4 - 6pm on the weekend - if we buy ahead, do you think we could last out till 6.45/7?

7pm, isn't it?

Oh poo! Just called them and they are having renovations done, or something and so not taking bookings in the restaurant

Plan B anyone?

MrsS. Happened to me at a friend's wedding; XBF was friend's older brother, so there was no possibility that friend didn't know. I'm not quite sure what was going through his head when he did the seating plan. XBF had shiny new GF, who gave me daggers throughout the meal. DH didn't quite know where to put himself.

MI - what did you get? We have just returned from posh footballer's paradise, Cobham, where I also bagged a nice charity shop haul. A gorgeous evening top from M&S Autograph, a jumper from White Company (incorrectly marked as White Stuff), and a stripy jumper from the £1 rail. And DH picked up a very nice wheely suitcase.

In domestic news, the boiler is playing up. I have reset it, and it seems to be going again, but I fear it will go off again the moment our backs are turned. Probably during the night, so we will be treated to cold showers in the morning.

Ah sugar BTM,
What about another Camino's branch? EG Blackfriars? Or somewhere in the K+ / St Pancakes area? Hey what do I know? Goes off to study Overground and Thameslink connections in GL.

Would the Las Iguanas at The South Bank be recherché enough for our needs?
There is a gluten free menu, and tapas n' things

There's also a Caminos at Monument (so good for tubes), or that pub named after a tree or MrsS grill place with nice big cheap cocktails? There are loads of places in and around St P itself now, but I haven't tried any of them....

I got two (2, ii) very nice scarves, a pair of Gap jeans for DD1 who had requested them, some new candles and a pair of black French Connection jeans which still had the tags on them - they are flared and far too long but a bit of alteration will make them the narrow black ankle-length trousers I've been yearning for, and at £6 I can splash out on getting them to fit me in bespoke manner.

MrsS, at least it wasn't three (3, iii) people at a memorial service. Ahem.

How superb, MI, especially if it was actually at the memorial service? That would have cheered everyone up!

Sadly no, Beachy

Hmmm
There's Caravan behind Kings Cross - I've been there for brunch and dinner (on different occassions!) and it's ok... not v cheap. Otherwise a lot of the new places round the back of KC are a bit flash / expensive.

There's always Tas with various branches - good food and cheap

I was trying to think whether somewhere in Drummond Street round the back of Euston where there are loads of Southern Indian places might be good but fear most of them are a bit small for a group of nearly 20 (twenty! XX!) unless anyone knows different..

The other one is my cousin. No-one else knows.

Didn't we go to the Bankside Caminos before and it was good?

No one other than you or cousin? No one other than you??! No one other than you, cousin, your dh!
Hope you're on the dance floor by now Mrs S...

Are either Auriga or Monty or , ladies I haven't written here because I'm shattered, available for this Crepey Cavalcade?

NU , how are you feeling? Hope the family have been bringing you soothing drinks and you did stay in bed today. ( am trying not to alert Sister, but she reads this you know,)

Yes, NU, hope you are on the mend and being looked after.
