    I'm a diamond white girl- if we are talking cider preference! I remember getting drunk off woodpeckers when i was 16- put me off that for life.

    I was young and knew no better.:rotfl:

    I progressed to Brandy after that or Navy Rum and Black. I am out of practice now and the budget doesn't allow for it any more:o

    Oh well, a wee cider anyone?:rotfl:

    True- i now get all my excitement on guide camps. Abseiling and whatnot, i need all my strength for that, so will be in Pj's for every forseeable night till the next one- working up courage.

    Good day over all...not great earlier - nasty biatches at work kind of got to me a little although I didn't let it show but went to the gym after work and ran really well so feeling much better now. Plus I am fuffing fabulous so who gives a damn about them!
