3/20 there are still 2 bottles of fizz left from birthday but these are unopened and I plan to move from fridge to cupboard (then they will be warm so less attractive) Declaring early for tonight so 4/20 as tomorrow is a course day and I like to be on as much top form as I can manage for delivering the course as it was a money making ventureMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
