Ifancy I am not meant to put up the tree yet, because the new flooring in the front room is being put in by a friend - so it's a no-fly zone at present. Xmas Envy

Step 1: Pour glass of wine.
Step 2: Drink glass of wine.

It is how alcoholism start. One day you'll find yourself wanting to take a glass of white after you have dropped off the kids at school, just to take the edge off.

Lady I just cannot go in for all that DH stuff - it's just not me - and I find Manmeat FUNNY :o it's originally from a show my Manmeat DH likes ;)

Summerfruit I shall pay my utmost due diligence to that possibility and limit myself to having wine only after elevenses, rather than straight away after school drop off. Word of Honour!
