We attempted our first paella the other night which turned out a roaring success. So much so that Hayden and I almost ate the whole lot, and you can see it's not small. We also had a dabble at Kahlua creme brulee when Melanie came around on the weekend, which was great too but so rich we were all rolling around with stomach aches.

Yesterday Mel and I saw Ant and Dec (yes, together), went to a lunchtime prom, had chocolate at my favourite shop, ate chunky chips and tried on uber expensive dresses at Karen Millen. We looked so out of place there and when the dress I tried on started beeping, we did a runner!

Cat arrives from Australia on thursday. Just in time for the snow, probably.
