    Glad you had a fab time. 100 different wines 😱 Our local gives you the choice between merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon 😆

    Great result for the England ladies.  I think it was possibly the worst penalty shoot out I've ever seen!  Just wondering if there was another significant football result this week that you might have missed/forgotten about/chosen to ignore?

    We were saying that @Blackcats, I wish I could say I was gracious and civilised but I'm afraid there was rather a lot of pointing and laughing at the opposition. Which is a bit rich from someone sitting on their a*se with a glass of wine and a plate of pasta and some mint Aero from the fridge 😁
    You're right, the Noni Madueke transfer to Arsenal is an absolute result, definitely the men's football news of the week 😘

    Oh I have so many pages of everyone’s diaries to catch up on! I hope I don’t miss anything vital, but I am so glad everything seems to be going well. Have I missed any big wins pip?

    Yay you're posting again @WinterWarrior 😊🥂
    Still waiting for the lottery win so we can actually afford this build/somewhere to live we can both fit into, but I bought a ticket today so expect I'll be updating about my vast property portfolio and the difficulty in choosing which champagne to pair to with which cheese soon enough

    Nothing better than leftover pizza and salad 😋 

    Hope Mr PIP doesn’t return to base drunk and disorderly after his pub crawl 🍺
