OK, in the end I didn't get my rack of lamb and my nice bottle of red wine but what I did get was a surprise party at home, although watching Guy and Laura turn up in their car just as I was getting into the house nearly gave it all away.

Those pesky people at work had me believing they were all heading off home and so on.

Thanks everyone. It was a really good night - Champagne, vodka, absinthe and whisky (although most of the 12 year old Glenlivet ended up on the floor) made for a lively birthday party.

Not so sure about the 10 minute defrosted (if that) lobster and dim sum at 11pm.
