  • Woo hoo I have won some booze!!!!

    http://www.nakedwines.com/taster/Michaela?page=0&tab=wall&tabName=wall#wallPost868495

    I am a runner up in Naked Wines competition to think of a naked way to celebrate their 1st birthday. So I have won a case of vino :T:T.

    Gradually plodding through my list. Got waylayed by a touch of snowman building. OH has built a rather menacing looking teddy bear which is staring at me theough the french doors with it's drawer knob eyes.:eek:
    Sprouts are prepped, gammon jont boiling away. Quick vodka and cranberry and then I think I will tackle the spuds.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
