    I am going to have another search today for any unfound coins. Spent New Year at my besties drinking free wine given at Christmas and spent nothing and had the best new year.

    Drinking games began with a childs crocodile dentist game. You had a selection of teeth and one of the teeth would snap the mouth and you had to take a shot. I worked out a theory after I had been got 4 times. Hurray to my besties for bringing spirits; they know I am saving for a mortgage. Lucky me to have great friends.

    Needless to say my friends husband by mid night; was a 'little' worse for wear. :D

    Well, what a start to 2012!! Woke up feeling like death with a sore throat etc - all the signs of manflu (the female version). :cry: Have managed to stagger out of bed to wish all potters a very happy New Year. I may not be able to talk (some would say that's a good thing) but I can still type!! So
    Happy New Year, Everyone!!
