Ooooh, lovely!


I'd go for all-out indulgence and go for a day at the Sanctuary. Mr Pickle treated me last year for my birthday and it was absolutely brilliant, I sat reading my book, sipping a glass of champagne with my feet up and relaxed more than I have for years. I have another voucher to use (he sensed it was a success so I got the same this year!) and can't wait to use it.

don't try to fit too much i - I've done that and then got stressed which defeats the point. But maybe arrange a nice lunch for yourself somewhere, and take a good book/indulgent magazine?


I had a foot treatment and pedicure at the Elemis spa and it was amazing, they give you nice smoothies before and after and whole experience was lovely. more locally, Therapy is an excellent salon, have had some nice treatments there including a v v good massage.


If you went for Elemis, it's in that lovely bit of Mayfair, so you could browse some of the posh shops and then pop over to Selfridges.

Try to make sure you are out the house ALL DAY as you might start to think after half a day that you ought to do those chorey type things ( always happens to me-). Enjoy. Make yourself gorgeous all morning- nice lunch with small amount of alcohol- a little browse of shops later on..

I had a voucher for a Mum-to-be foot treatment at the Elemis spa and went there when 8 months pregnant, and was utterly disappointed - mainly because the massage was rubbish and very short. It is a very nice venue in Mayfaif and it felt nice being in there, but the treatment was supposed to be 60 min long and it only took about 20 min - the rest was smoothies and 'just being there', which wasn't really the main thing I went for.


I'd definitely go to the Sanctuary. and as womanofdulwich said, make sure you go out for the whole day, otherwise you might find yourself tidying the house or doing the washing etc. Enjoy!!!

    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
