Sunday 28th December 2008: To Bake or Not to Bake?

Just had a message from Carol saying that we are meeting in the Ruby Lounge at lunch tomorrow. When she invited the girls for lunch I thought it would be a Christmas get together at her house. Was desperate for a nosey round her new place. Also, I have made her a bottle of cranberry & orange vodka (Mail on Sunday magazine - very easy. Bottled in a beautiful bottle from Lakeland, it looks very impressive, girly and vintage. How perfect!) And was going to take some of Nigella's ultra chocolaty chocolate iced biscuits for a house warming pressie (and because I am greedy and wanted an excuse to try them).
If I take them to a bar it will look weird because it will look like I have bought Carol a Christmas pressie, but not bothered with anyone else. Guess I could just take the vodka and leave the cookies in the freezer. How annoying?
