He's had a few sips, for being good!! Actually, It's a bottle we've had in the fridge for about 2 years and I want to celebrate 2009 cos it can't be worse than 2008!! And it's Tesco's own label that costs less than all the others and won a contest for flavour. Why am I trying to justify it???:eek: It's lovely and we're getting quietly sozzled on the sofa.:D:D:D

I have a couple of bottles of champagne but afraid to open them we've had them so long.:o:o:o

We went to empty our caravan the other day in case the OR wants it, and I found a bottle of bubbly that's been there for about 3 years! And a bottle of Gallo wine from 2002! Not sure if cheap champagne and wine keep for that long, but we'll try them some time - they might have made nice vinegar by now!!

Gosh, I'm sounding like we drink champagne all the time :eek:- we don't, honest! (I wish!)

We used to drink it all the time (pre kids that is) but it gives me a terrible hangover thats why the bottles we have are so old they were gifts.

Just want to wish every one a happy healthy debt free 2009, this is first time I've signed on in over 2 months as I was struck down with a brain infection at the beginning of Nov which initially left me with memory, speech, visual and concentration problems. However normal functions are back now and no permanent damage to brain has resulted so I've a lot to be thankful for and I am. Another thing I have to be thankful for is the help both me and my friend received from this forum in 2008 and the wonderful people on it so a big thank you to you all :T:j

Oh EO I'm glad you're fully recovered. How on earth do you get a brain infection? Your typing looks good anyway!

Eternal_Optimist

From an infection somewhere in my body that moved through the blood stream through to the brain. At first they thought meningitis but lumbar puncture ruled that out. I had stroke like symptoms but MRI and CAT scan ruled that out and the fact that the most severe symptoms started to disappear once I went on IV antibiotics indicated infection in the brain. Lol at typing....thank God that's ok....I need that for work as it's mainly clerical I do!:rotfl:

EO, well done on your recovery, that on top of everything else would have knocked a lesser mortal for 6, glad you got through it.
