Gourmet Burger Kitchen: Impatience is a virtue

I am in a relationship with GBK's milkshake. Even though a milkshake is inhuman and therefore incapable of reciprocating my love, I am still in love. Isn't that the true test of real love? That it remains even when it gets nothing in return? *ahem! I digress.

Where was I? Oh yes! I am a GBKer. I've had some really good burgers yet GBK has managed to hang in there through the years. A bit of background - I am very picky with my food at lunchtime. I think it's because I am spoilt for choice. I kid you not, Lady Womble at lunch time equals confused.com. Most days I spend all the time wandering around trying to make up my mind on what to have then I head back to work empty-handed (bellied).

On one of such days, I saw a GBK guy handing out fliers and took one. Once I read what the flier said, I took a few more! Lol! GBK was challenging me! I mean, the food's enough to get my attention. Yet they had to go along and give me a food-related challenge. Bring it on!

According to GBK, if I order my lunch and it's not with me in 15minutes, then I get a free lunch on my next visit!

I finally got the opportunity yesterday when some colleagues decided on a GBK lunch. Off we went and I ordered a Classic Beef Burger with Small Chunky Skin-on Fries, paid and set my clock.

Guess who won......*drumroll






Yes indeed! I did you all proud! LOL!

When you get the chance, do take the challenge and tell me about it! Right now, I am struggling to keep my eyes open after eating just half of my ******** .Watch this space to find out what ;)


Speak Soon

October's for beb'OSA


Yesterday, someone posted a request on my facebook wall - 'Bring back Beb'OSA'.

So here I am! A lot has been going on in Womble world but all in all, still surviving! :D

What have I been up to? Well, I spent July attending 3 weddings *phew - in Birmingham, Bolton and Essex. And a 4th wedding in September. The last one was in London which was good! Less travel! I have to say that before this year, I had only attended 3 weddings - a neigbour's, my sister's and a colleague's. That's it! And in one year I managed to beat that record! #Epic!

I've also done loads of cooking and volunteering. I completed a sponsored walk from Heathrow to Islington, helped organise a charity football tournament, volunteered for Cancer Research UK's Shine Night Walk and I am currently working on 2 events in support of Breast Cancer Campaign.My mentee also graduated this summer (mega proud) so I have another one.

On cooking, I surprised my brother on his birthday plus I stocked his fridge and freezer with his favourite meals. Also hosted a few people to lunch last month which I think went down a storm - am I allowed to say that? Lol.

And of course, the highlight - it was my birthday a few days ago. I went to see John Legend live at the Apollo on his 'All of me' tour. If you ever get the chance to see him live, do it! Lol! Then I went to see a movie and dinner the next day - I should do a review on the place! It was amazing! I also went shopping at Oxford Street. Basically, it was a week long celebration which is yet to be over......

Guess that's all folks. The highlights since I last came here. I'll leave you with one of my fave tunes at the moment from my girl Simi.......
