    I would get that bottle of wine and pretend it is champagne! I would also give myself a small amount for something nice but I would pay the majority of it off the EGG CC. Sorry to be boring but when will you have the chance again...?

    But deffo give yourself a little bit!

    Actually I might stick with a bottle of red unless the OH is feeling better (foodpoisoning NOT MY DOING - that'll teach him to go out for dinner wihtout me even if it WAS for work :D), if he is then I might sneak one of the bottles of cava from the fridge... we got a couple for christmas (along with 3 bottle of baileys... hey are people trying to tell me something???), so I could crack one of them I guess :)

    Early celebration at work with an easter egg I won yesterday in our works Easter crypic Egg hunt :) (actually we won 3 out of 4 rounds but we though keeping 3 eggs each was a little greedy so we shared them out)
