(Even More) Greenwich, Patty&Bun, The Trafalgar Tavern

Patty and Bun Smokey Robinsons with Rosemary Salt Chips
Patty&Bun Smokey Robinsons with Rosemary Salt Chips
These are the disgracefully delicious, greasy Smokey Robinson burgers from Patty and Bun. They easily make the best burger I've ever had! Shame about the overcrowded premises and the hour long queues though... They really need to relocate. Din and I regularly have to share a table meant for four with 3 other people crammed onto it, there's not even space to move! This, coupled with the person at the next table pushing their buttocks into your face as they squeeze past you is more than awkward. Come on guys!

Barry M Berry Cosmo

Yet another beauty, I just love Barry M! This deep plum, autumnal shade is perfectly smooth and pigmented, couldn't be happier with it. As with all Barry M polishes, I find they last for at least 4 days without chipping (without a topcoat, I'm lazy).

Invisibobble Review

This review is for the seemingly revolutionary Invisibobble which is touted as a 'traceless hair ring'. My first thoughts were 'poppycock' but I'm a converted fan.

Sit down, sip your milk and nibble on a cookie, it's story time. When it comes to haircuts, I only ever have a wash and cut. I had a snip the other day and made sure to carry a hair band with me to restrain my wet, poodle hair so I could scuttle off home to tame it myself. However when I was leaving the salon, I went to tie my hair back and my totally overstretched hair tie snapped! I couldn't possibly leave the salon looking like Medusa but luckily enough I spotted some hair ties for sale at the reception desk. Jackpot, I thought, my pride had been saved. Off I went with my tiny box of Invisibobbles for which I was charged £3.95. That is more than the RRP might I add. What can I say, I was up s**t's creek and desperate.

Enter Invisibobble!

Bannatyne's Millbank Spa Day Review

A few days ago Din and I went for a spa day at the Bannatyne Spa in Millbank. His sisters had bought us the  gift voucher for our birthdays but he didn't book it for about five months! It included a full body massage, a scalp massage (which we didn't get because we booked so late lol) and the use of the gym and swimming pool.


The spa itself is hidden underneath a building, on the left just before the revolving doors. The place itself didn't look like anything I had imagined. The relaxation area where you could help yourself to tea and coffee was in reception which was awkward and overall it was more of a gym/swimming pool/above board (hopefully) massage palour all under one roof. At reception we were given a padlock for a locker as well as the option to pay £3 for a bathrobe and slippers (which we got to keep) to wonder around the spa in. We said yes but I wish we didn't have to give the bathrobe back, it was so soft and comfy!
