    Oooh - I love spinach.

    Those wine glasses are meant for people that are content on having just the one glass of wine - I don't think they contribute to the alcohol problem. 1 litre sherry bottles that costs less than a fiver do :o.

    Anyway - off to cook something with mince. One of my surprise dinners. I don't seem to be able to make anything that I cook twice :p shame I don't have any spinach to add to it...

    Jo your food sounds lovely but sorry HB - spinach soup -yuk!

    The wedding was lovely and yep I do play sax. Had a major wobbly moment earlier but DS2 wants picked up tonight so that sorted that out. A bit grumpy here though. So can declare AF tonight and 7 for me please Shaggy. DS2 has been looking for a weekend job for ages and finally had an interview today and got one! Might be too much with A levels as it is Saturday and Sunday but he'll give it a go and see.

    Anyone about? How are you doing this evening?
