    Lanzarote has finally been booked for April 😎 Same hotel as this year as it was ideal albeit a bit pricey but got £200 off. 

    Euphoria short lived as caught Mr SA drinking my gin out of the bottle. My fault as I got complacent and didn’t hide it. Should’ve realised I can’t trust him 😡 I don’t know why he does it, neat gin isn’t nice, probably because he thinks it’s naughty. Lesson learned and it’s now hidden away which is a shame because it’s a lovely bottle. I’ve told him I’m disappointed in him but doubt he’s bothered. It’s so annoying as I keep gin for the weekend and really savour it and there’s him necking it out of the bottle and probably not even liking the taste.

    Oh that's awful about your gin! How about putting it in a water bottle and filling the gin bottle with vinegar?

    Now you have just proved what I always thought.  That everyone on here was much nicer than me. Because I was thinking about a diuretic, well that wasn't my first thought but then I realised that SA would have to clean that up anyway.
