    Afternoon all

    Still on 3 Marru. Went out with 3 friends from work last night for a curry. Drank, but not to excess. My Mum was most surprised when I was unhungovered today and able to take her shopping!:rotfl: Had a lovely evening, great company and great conversation and I'm so pleased I was able to enjoy it without getting completely bladdered. Now, if I could manage that all the time I'd be laughing!:rotfl:

    I'm not drinking tonight. Although I do feel like it....OH being distinctly off (he gets very funny when I go out for an evening...long story but basically involves him being insecure due to his first wife blah blah blah) so have to put up with that for a couple of days till he gets over it!

    But tonight I will be wrapping last of the presents, finishing off the crimbo cards and generally getting myself organised. And I'm damned sure I'll do it all better without a bottle of wine inside me!:rotfl:

    Take care all, catch up later

    Miss P
