If you can stretch to 90K you can buy TWO one bedroom flats in my postcode ... :T

Or if you branch out a bit to the rest of Bradford you can purchase TWO [STRIKE]grotty 70s[/STRIKE] "studio apartments in a desirable location" and still have £10K left in the bank for redecorating. :eek:

* a year ago I would have trampled over you to get that :rotfl:. Just shows what one week & 2 litres of the stuff can do to a girl ... why do I suspect that this would not work with Pink Elephants ...:rolleyes: even 2 gallons would be achievable with plenty of snacks to soak it all up.

Utterly brilliant Fire Fox :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I have never been an alcoholic & as this is a public forum I think we should point out that alcoholism is very serious & debilitating for anyone that either suffers from it or because of it. I speak from experience; my ex number 1 was; we lost our business & house :rolleyes:. It took me a while to realise that he was more than just a 'legend in his own lunch time' so on his behalf I will say that :
I knew my ex was an alcoholic when I discovered that he carried a bottle of gin & a can of WD40 in his boot ...the WD40 apparently makes the glass cold when you spray it, in case you have an emergency drink situation & dont have any ice cubes handy
Go on, you know you want to test it :rotfl:0 -

Freeze spray for strained muscles works better & leaves less of a residue & aftertaste.

I do love a freebie:D Baileys not my first choice of alcohol but I do like it and it is free, am getting seriously addicted to my freebies, in the last few months I have had a free Graze box, an lovely apron and tea towel covered in hearts, a large bar of green and black's chocolate, fabric conditioner, a lovely heart shaped metal bookmark, 4 books from amazon and lots of other little things. They may not sound like much but it is nice to get a freebie through the post now and then.:j* a year ago I would have trampled over you to get that :rotfl:. Just shows what one week & 2 litres of the stuff can do to a girl ...Well done on all the other frugalities
I hope the supermarket refurbishment wont mean that you go hungry :eek:, when our local one was done last year, I felt utterly bereft ... I think this was when I started going to Tatco again, be strong sarah :rotfl:

I know I was an alcoholic* when... I didn't drink the Lemsip I needed because I was worried it would react badly with the alcohol I was going to consume later.:o
