    Me too! I'll bring home flavoured vodka left over as I never got to bottle it for Christmas. Anyone for plum, or chilli?

    My income has decreased gradually over the last 10 years, although I love my job now and wouldn't go back to banking no matter how well it paid.

    Plum and chilli both sound lovely.

    Like Snagggles I love my job. It has purpose by the skipload.

    I am joining my own club tonight. It's called 'No pay rise and 3 points on your licence!' Oh joy.

    Argh, oh nooo! Did you get a speeding ticket? I live in fear of those, even though I am generally a slow driver because I'm a dork, but it's so easy to lose track of the limit on a long journey, when it changes often.

    Chilli for me please, NL! :D

    Not yet Snags...but it flashed and it is a functioning camera so I suspect its only a matter of ti
    And my tip is avoid Kegworth...although that does seem a bit harsh.

    Going to have a clearing and tidying day today including myself. Did get an offer of a threesome last night from a friend which has gone on the shelf* Has reminded me I am attractive so will be sprucing myself up.

    B x

    p.s. Will be staying on the shelf too!

    Haha, I think you are right to be flattered that they offered, even if the offer isn't something you'd consider taking them up on. :D

    You ARE attractive, lady!! Your figure is fantastic, and I am a big believer in trying to look on the outside how you'd like to feel on the inside.

    Today I`m dressed as a construction worker...and shall be clearing the garage out. The agent has been round and I had to dig my way out of the garage because I couldn`t find the front door key!

    My agent has signed up with a local agent for a tenant finder scheme. They get £100 if/when the tenant moves in. More importantly the house will feature on Right Move.

    Butti - You may be lucky with said camera... any chance you were doing more than 10% above speed limit but less than 20%? e.g. between 34 - 37 in a 30

    If you were and the police in the area do 'speed awareness' courses. You may well escape the points.

    I have tested both plum and chilli. Plum does not taste like vodka at all. I added a bit of sugar, so it is like a fruity sort of cough medicine ...

    The chilli has no sugar and it has a nice warming after kick (slight problem is that it looks like a water sample).

    I still have strawberry and blueberry vodka (and er, brandy) to try :)

    Can you add something to make it more red looking, NL? Although, I'd be happy to sample your...er...sample-reminiscent vodka. :rotfl:
