    Was waiting for my invite! 

    We have some unopened Christmas pudding I found in the cupboard, only shop bought I’m afraid.

    I'll be there with my 'Mitzy's Mega let's get this party STARTED' party bag - a Tesco's carrier containing 1x bottle Glen's vodka, 1x bottle Blossom Hill merlot, 1x bottle own-brand cola, 60x Player's Superkings (black line) and 1x CD 'Now That's What I Call Music 23'* in recognition of the year past.  

    *looked up the track listing for that out of interest and it's not half bad (if one ignores Billy Ray Cyrus)

    Love this!  Was thinking of you earlier and what a great New Year it turned out to be.  

    I've literally just finished watched The Hangover and I'll be quite disappointed if you don't do me proud! 

    I'm out in that there London tomorrow, but I will try to remember to pop round with the spoils of our bar at some point.   

    There's some Pomegranate & Rose gin that I'm not sure about opening.    Any tips on mixers?

    Save it for when you need a splash of paint stripper. Or maybe use it as a disinfectant.

    I think I'm going to have to bail out this evening - so sorry.
    Mrs G-C says we should go out for a meal and then she fancies an early night.  Time was when that would have been fabulous fun ;)  but, I fear, this now means she will have drunk all the Rioja and then opened the Merlot and will be snoring like a trooper - blaming the whole thing on "mixing her drinks"  :'(
    Happy New Year all!  :D

    TBH I’m not sure I’ll be coming.  Things got really rough last year when I got confused about the cocktails.  In my defence, it was getting pretty rowdy and people nowadays don’t enunciate properly.  So it’s really easy to get Molotov and mojito mixed up.
