    Had a lovely day yesterday - walk down beach in the sunshine with lovely man:smileyhea, coffee in wine bar then a night in with a dvd but I did drink some wine (he bought it so didn't count ;)).

    Gym today and studying I think... but need to nip to shops for some food before DS gets back from his dad's.

    I did drink some wine (he bought it so didn't count ;)).

    Nice to read your happy status's (is that a word?) these days Spicy.

    ...and handy tips on the wine front (gentle sarcasm!)

    Can I discount any beer we 'win' tonight at the pub quiz and the free round on Wednesday from winning last weeks Wednesday pub quiz. I'm practically tee-total :rotfl:

    p.s. Well done on the essay...onward and upward.

    Yes, absolutely! This is MSE after all. I think I did very well to have coffee in wine bar and not move straight to cocktails:cool:.
