Anyone fancy a drink?

I'm sitting here in the sun with a glass or two of red and , although it's a school night, if anyone fancies joining me I'll be having pizza in a bit (and more red wine)

    wow that was quick!! Only just had time to re-fill the glass!

    I have 10 (was 12) bottles of red to get through. I bought them 3 years ago in my pre-MSE/DFW days (ie it wasn't £3.49 a bottle!). I didn't realise at the time it was a kind of reserve for later/grapes still on the bush order!!! It arrived about two weeks ago and i'm awash with the stuff.

    Apparently though it will keep for another 6 years..........

    Actually it's been a funny old day DFW wise.

    I'm desparately waiting for my mortgage offer to come through (still) so it can start from the 1 June. Apparently the lender is doing the final checks now.

    I did a big batch of camembert bubble and squeak for the freezer with bits and bobs looking a bit sad in the fridge.

    I then went to Staples and bought a new office chair. i'm doing AQA full time and the one I have rips my (very poorly) back apart. My Mum and Dad sent me £35 in vouchers towards it. I took ages but kept going back to the same one. It was £99, but I got £35 off it and it is something that Iwill be using day in day out for at leastt 8 hours a day.

    Bought a couple of bits from abel cole. Bought some chicken breasts from the gourmet delivery man when he called round(whoops).

    Trying to find a post office who will change back 100 euors I found in the cupboard. My local one won't do it without a receipt even though it is commission free.

    Listed a few bits on ebay. Trying the Olympic Challenge, if a bit late in the day to start!

    So been a bit good, a bit bad.....

    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?
