FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

Aww thanks chick, I'm sure you'll reap the rewards of your hard work tomorrow!! And very very exciting about your new red sofa!! Let me know asap tomorrow! I'm on a night shift again tomoz- just a one off one so will access MM via my mobile!! MM is banned in work, as are most fun websites!!! Yes night shifts are knackering, but unfortunately there's no set pattern to ours so often there isn't much time off between coming off and going back to days, for example I'm working tomorrow, thurs will be a sleep day and then I'm working again Friday daytime!! I'm kind of used to it though!! Good luck hunny!X
 
Ahh I see!! I do mostly long days and nights (both 7.30 til 8- am/pm!) It suits me to have more days off, and it's a 30 mile round trip for me to go to work so it's betta for fuel economy too!! Mind you I'm gallivanting quite a bit on my days off too so I don't save that much in diesel!!LOL!X

Restaurant sounds very posh!!
Hope you have a lovely meal hun. Tried my dorset museli last night on my fromage frais....was so nice but god you dont get much for 28g lol
xx

No you're quite right, you don't get much for 28g, but it is delish with yogurt and fruit!! The meal was lovely!! Rendezvous is quite a long-standing restaurant in Swansea! It's peculiar because it does a mixture of Chinese AND British/Meditteranean food- The decor is quite tired and it's in major need of a refit, but the food is excellent and good value so it's one of those places locals are quite fond of- but visitors would probably steer clear of!! So not actually posh at all!! Hope you're having a great weekend! I'm up in 5 hours time for a 12 hour shift in work! Why I'm still up is anyone's guess!!XXXX

Oh well, hopeful for a goodun next week, and as I'd tell anyone else, it isn't all about one week!!! Loops, I'm feeling relaxed! lol! Hope you are too!! Early shift tomorrow (7.30-3) and double shift Wed (7.30-8) then 14 days off!! Yay, I miscounted, so even better than I first thought!! LOL!XXX Ooh and yes I popped the salmon in with the veg- it literally took 3 minutes and PERFECTLY cooked salmon- I definitely recommend the bags- everything is cooked to perfection- I've never had such lovely asparagus!!X
