    Hi guys and gals, I am back from not-very-sunny-at-all-lanzarote!!

    Didn't do too badly alcohol-wise except for the last day when it was very overcast and we went on an all-day sangria fest :o felt sooooo ill on the plane on the way back so i had a hairy dog - well two actually, a g&t and a small bottle of wine, rest of hols probably only had 'my usual' so I really don't feel too guilty.

    I AM ON THE WAGON FROM TODAY:D :rolleyes:

    Wish me pots of luck? hope everyone is ok?, welcome to the newbies:beer:

    That's pretty funny! :D

    Now if I could just get them all to bar *me* as well it would make cutting down SO much easier!

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    PS I've got to nip down the offie and buy my dad a bottle of malt for his birthday. I'll deserve a a shiny medal if I get in and out without buying anything for me as well won't I? :eek:
