    Also, slightly jealous that he can drink stella openly at this time of the day :o


    Jo if you relegated yourself to wine and me to beer - we'd probably do OK

    I can't imagine any reason to drink Stella - ever - bleurgh.

    Might be a plan. ???

    Idea's on a post card.

    No, I can't, I'd then be addicted to wine as well as stella!

    ETA: oh, and guinness :)

    ETA2: that show's I have a problem, that I'm frightened to acustom myself to any other types of alcohol cos I KNOW I'll end up addicted :confused:

    Phoned the Council yet Jo?
  • I'm with Jo on that one.

    I can and have drunk almost any alcoholic drinks, if I craved alcohol and couldn't get my tipple of choice!

    I draw the line at sambuca or creme de menthe, but there have been times when I've drained whatever disgusting liquers were hiding at the back of the kitchen cupboard (and the masala wine used for cooking!) when there's been nothing else in the house. So at that time, maybe even creme de menthe would have passed my lips..........??? :o:o

    Yak. I hate minty/aniseedy drinks. Bleeuuurrgghhh. _pale_

    Hugs

    There are a lot of them about:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    40SM:D[/QUOTE]

    :rotfl::TVery good 40sm.

    I'm trying to look busy aswell. Actually had an e-mail from someone in America this morning asking where her stuff was. Thought OMG, takes a day to do and I haven't started. Looked in the file and I did do it, just didn't send it. I'm losing brain cells rapidly I fear.

    That monkey of mine is probably smarter than I am right now!

    Strangely I can't hear wine bells :confused: You know what I think it is? I'm too tired to think about it. Seriously. I must be deficient in something because for the past three days I've struggled to stay awake. Had to open the window driving home last night for fear of nodding off :eek:

    Much love X
    Need to start again :o

    No, I haven't, but I did ring OH and tell him so I could vent a bit more :D

    He's p!ssed off with him cos he woke him up this morning (I told the bloke so too :o). OH thought he looked really suspicious and told me to keep an eye out, so I've taken down the reg number of 'dads' car just incase :o God not only do I sound like my mum, but I'm turning into my OH - he thinks everyone is a potential bad guy (that's what working in security and revenue protection does for ya!)

    Must admit though, I did mention to 'rubbish man' that he didn't give us a chance to open the door to him BOTH times he knocked earlier as I didn't want him to think I was out at that time of day :o

    I'll drink most things too if I'm honest. Generally stick to wine and absolutely hate the taste of whiskey, but hey, I would if nothing else :o

    I have been known to have a beer at lunchtime to help with the dire hangover. Has to be bad mind ;) And obviously not a work day :D
    Need to start again :o
