    It's awful this year, it just won't go away. I've had 4 or 5! Feel better soon :)

    Declaring early today for 2/20, I'm on an early flight tomorrow and I'm already anxious about travelling so I don't want any alcohol making me feel any more ropey!
    I'll be away until Monday evening, so I hope you all have a good weekend. I doubt I'll rack up any more AFDs in Venice (local wine?!) but you never know!

    Have a great holiday. :)

    I've always taken pics of all our passports , tickets and insurance details away with me since my sister lost her bag on holiday ,, it's a handy tip someone told me about , I print one lot out and put in safe, then keep it all on all our phones!

    sadly still on 1/26 as had an awful day with house issues yesterday and my partner's deal fell through so got a bottle on way home - there's about 2/3rds left and he had a glass also so not too bad. Unlikely to drink this evening but we are out for dinner with friends tomorrow night so that will be a drink or two
