Drinkies!!
 
Ok - I know it is only Wednesday, but OH is glued to the rugby, (Origin then Lions,) and I'm drinking wine in another room while DD hogs the gas fire doing homework. About to start my second glass of anaesthetic (aching hips legs and shoulders after my first delivery round yesterday) - so who'll join me?
You can have a virtual glass, or better still grab a real one and join in!!:thumbup::drinkwine:

I'm deep into my daily red wine budget post origin, I'll toast you and yours :)

A relatively early finish for me but it's been that kind of week/month/year :huh:

A real glass of vino for me.

I would kill for a drink now but a cuppa tea. Husband away (again) and I forgot to set the alarm. Sitting on the train with damp hair and not had anything to drink yet. I hope know me attempts a conversation with me. I'm like that Snickers advert when hungry or thirsty!!!

Had a lie in this morning...slightly headachey too! Can't drink like I used to....sigh, I feel rather old this morning.

Eddie, thanks for the offer, :starsmile:but you live the other side of the country!! I'll make do with virtual thanks.:thumbup: Enjoy your hols.

Kapri, it's normal to be wobbly before such a big move. Looking forward to our real coffee once you are here.:thumbsup:

Hebe, hope your journey was uninterrupted.

I think we all know those feelings. :)

Dang- think I need a toddy. Will it make me feel better, or will it make the headache and pain worse??
