    I think I might be the alchy.....

    I collect coins in the 3 litre Vodka bottle an ex and I emptied over his 2 week Christmas Leave a few years ago, and I have never felt sentimental over a wine bottle. :p

    Evening lovely!!!

    Amazing how you see things once and then they pop up everywhere. I think I ought to have a hummingbird as my mascot too judging by the description!!!

    I am having a tattoo on my side (just a little one) to remind me to always be the person that I am. And because that person is a stubborn pig-headed bulldozer who takes no carp from anyone and can do anything I put my mind to... I have chosen to have the words 'Just watch me' :rotfl:

    My Year 3 teacher at primary school summed me up in three words on my school report. I still have it. Blank except for his personal comment. 'Mean, Moody & Magnificent' I was tempted to have that instead ;)

    I have a bottle of disaronno and some cheap brandy in the house. Both half full. How rubbish am I as the disaronno is 5 years old and the brandy 2.5 years old from my first Christmas dinner where I made my own brandy butter :D

    No tips ref the Docs hun. I ring mine at 1 minute to 8 on speed dial the morning I need to go in. There is a data protection law that means the receptionist has no right to request to know what you want to see a Doc about, so if you feel it is necessary and you want to see him, ring up, say it is personal and be done with it.

    Much love xxx

    I just read through to catch up a bit (too) rapidly ...and closed down the page thinking "lilty is getting a tattoo of ant & dec" ..:rotfl:
    had to come back and check! everything merged together a bit randomly, that will teach me to read too fast :D
