    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:

    New game for everyone, complete the following sentence
    "I knew I was an alcoholic when ...."

    I'll kick off
    "I knew I was an alcoholic when .... I downed a cystitis remedy in one in order to progress to the vino in a timely manner." :o

    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 :confused:

    Go on, you know you want to test it :rotfl:

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

    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

    I have 3 others within walking distance so I will be okay:D My favourite bargain was a £4 bag of posh ground coffee reduced to 75p:D

    Bwahahahahahaha! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    To continue- I knew i was a bit of a drinker when i started setting aside weightwatchers points for my daily wine intake and found i couldn't afford to eat anything besides a milkyway (also had to have chocolate:D)
