    I wouldn't put a photo up as I'm on some other forums and I know quite a few people from there are also on MSE and I wouldn't want them to know who I am on here.:o I think I wouldn't be so honest on here.

    This hot weather is making me think about going on holiday. I have never had a holiday where I didn't drink (apart from when I was a kid obviously.) I associate holidays with sitting by the pool/ sea with a cocktail in my hand.

    This worried me too but I got through it with lots of water, diet coke and AF cocktails.
    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.:D
