Good afternoon everyone.
I am 5/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X
It's interesting how people's perception of you can change 🤔. Our small close is having a neighbourhood Coronation party. My neighbour (one of the organisers) said: "don't worry there is alcohol free fizz for you". She only moved in about two years ago and never knew the boozy Hoots from number *. To her I am a non drinker and she just takes that for granted, no big deal. I have a new identity and rather like it 🙂.
