I'm not sure if good or bad but it seems that anymore, I usually just feel bloated before I feel intoxicated, so why even bother. Just so many empty calories.

It took several minutes to realise I was sitting at the wrong desk. Aghhh.....the eighties. It's all working through your lunch hour and gawd awful breakfast meetings in my work place now.

She had twins, she was the only person in the world to have had twins, her twins were unlike any other twins, she had gone through HOURS of the worst labour EVER to deliver these god-like sprogs. Nobody could possibly understand how special HER twins were (especially not my best friend who had twins in the same class as the SPECIAL twins). The woman could have been boring for England! Anyhoo, at another mothers very drunken party, the creator of the uber-twins showed up and started prattling on about her darlings. Me, being very pissed sidled up to her and asked her if she was the twins mum. She nodded graciously. "Are they identical?" I innocently asked (knowing that they were a boy and a girl and this troubled her deeply). She shook her head sadly. "OH NOOOOO!" I screeched "You must be sooooo disappointed!!!". The poor woman fled in tears, and I was the playground hero for a day. This is why I don't drink outside the home.Lisa Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03120614311419730549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-20393199014459259812016-07-18T12:25:13.920+00:002016-07-18T12:25:13.920+00:00I can't answer your question .... my Mum reads...I can't answer your question .... my Mum reads your blog!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-6813336263826561932016-07-18T07:02:52.955+00:002016-07-18T07:02:52.955+00:00Hester, you KNOW that was only last week!!!Hester, you KNOW that was only last week!!!lillibethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330888831677555959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-24436600030822420632016-07-18T06:06:27.710+00:002016-07-18T06:06:27.710+00:00I'm a bit like Elephant's child...father a...I'm a bit like Elephant's child...father an alcoholic so it doesn't do much for me, except make me more inhibited!

We were promptly arrested. Seems there was an ordinance no dancing on bar table tops.
