It is beautiful even more so than I remembered, mainly due to the fact that my dress is a different colour than the one I tried on and it looks so much nicer in my colour!!

Main course - tried to choose a bit better for this - halibut on a bed of stir fried vegetables with baby potatoes - unfortunately it came out swimming in (not literally!) ginger lemon & lime butter - it was gorgeous but soooooo fatty!! So after this I thought I might as well go for it...
Dessert - Raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - this was the best thing I have tasted in a long time - so delicious - it almost melted in your mouth it was that scrumptious!!
Also had a large glass of wine! Hmm what do we think? Getting on for 50 points?! BIG OOOPS!!!
