    I hope you can get the shower and scooter sorted soon.  I have to be in the right frame of mind for that sort of thing too.

    I bought that at Christmas for my dd and sil. I’ve not tried it as I’m not a gin lover.😂😂😂When my friend came around last week, she reminded me of a very drunken evening involving gin and bitter lemon in our free and single days….maybe that’s why I don’t like gin. We both ended up very tearful after it……can’t remember why though 😂😂😂😂

    I feel exactly the same about gin, only those flavours.  I can force a pink gin & lemonade down if necessary too.
