So……………….. I’m back from my birthday celebration in Wellington….. five days of shopping, eating, movies, eating, having fun with the children, eating……. yes I did a lot of eating…..

And I have to tell you about this fab restaurant called Monsoon Poon. If you don’t already know, I’m lactose intolerant and can’t eat cows milk products. When I go into a restaurant I always have to ask the wait staff to find out from the chef what I can eat. I started to explain when the girl disappears and comes back with another menu, on which each dish is labelled whether it has dairy, gluten or nuts in it….. OMG!!!!!!! Why don’t all restaurants do this…. it would make my life much easier (I hate having to ask all the time!).

What else about the weekend…. oh yes….. I bought the most fab pair of ankle boots in the whole world…. I’ll be wearing them in San Fran so feel free to ask me to show you….. and a gorgeous black purse which was in the sale with nearly 60% off!!!!!!!

And of course i have to mention Mamma Mia. I haven’t laughed so much in ages. It truly was the most brilliant movie ever. I predict I’ll seeing it many more times. And I’m still singing all the songs to myself. Julie Walters totally stole the show…… though the scene at the end with all the cast (that’s all I’ll say) had me in total fits of laughter… especially Colin Firth…. he is just so funny.

Lastly……. 5 days til San Fran……………….

   I sympathize with your ordering difficulties. My son has a minor peanut allergy and I try to keep him away from everything ‘manufactured in the same facility as peanuts’. You would not believe how much stuff that includes!!

   Oh and I want to see Mamma Mia! I hope you have so much fun in SF! Congrats on the boots and purse!
