    My HWB has a leak:eek:
    Are you sure it's not just an age thing :o.

    I will go - even it's just for a couple of hours - and grin and bare (bear?- I'm never too sure?) it.

    I imagine wine may help:D
    Well it may be bear or bare, depending on how much wine is drunk ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    At the dreaded couples-only-except-one-single-sadass party, I'll be sure use the chat up line 'do I smell of wee?' and report back to you;)

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Hope the party isn't too excruciating. Remember being in that position myself. It might be fun in parts and the food might be good.

    All the best,

    NP - seriously impressed by your not touching wages yet. I am nearly spent up and a little concerned. Fortunately my grocery budget is now classed separately so we will be able to eat!

    One large glass of prosecco, and one large vodka down and I'm away to face coupledom.

    Wish me luck:p

    Hey Natty

    How was Christmas?

    Did you survive the party from hell?

    Hello

    It's only now I feel semi-normal.....I had 3X rose, 1X prosecco and 1X vodka and only now do I feel okay!!!! What on earth is wrong with me???? I am such a lightweight where alcohol is concerned (although on reflection, perhaps this isn't a bad thing:p)

    The party wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined/anticipated and I really quite enjoyed myself:)
    Of course, I have wasted the entire day and been v v sick, so I'm currently up for any dry January challenge that's on the go - starting from now, so really a dry Decenuary:D

    I quite like the time between Christmas and New Year to take stock of the fresh year ahead, so will set myself 3 challenges (once I'm feeling less _pale_) and report back later.

    To be fair, I wouldn't be too hot after 4 bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka either :D.
