You know, I never really added it up..........I very rarely brought a bottle home from work as the cheapest at the time would have been around £5 and I could get two for £4 in Tesco. So even then it was quantity over quality.

jaysus if I'd been English I'd have been an AMAZING alkie:congratulatory: - cheapest bottle of wine here was probably bout 8 euros back then and at that stage the wine was only the top up of the hidden bottle of vodka.... crikey - it pains me to think about it! and of course I had to have my bottle of white and Joe had to have a bottle of red.... so - do the sums!!!

We used to go a go posher at the weekend and pay up to £4 a bottle.........and there were the hidden bottles (But they were mine).

Going to feed himself so I'll say night night.

Night troopers.

I know a fella here who is 46. He's an alkie and lives in an aged care nursing home. The booze is likely responsible for his health issues. He works part time when he can, has 2 teenage kids, and currently trying to give up the grog. He is visibly an unwell man. You can see very obviously that his only hope for a few more years on the planet is to totally abstain from the sauce. 46 ain't old. Then i think about our younger folk in their 20's and 30's who are in serious trouble with liver/health issues already in their young lives. Christ! I am a lucky one.

Goodnight friends.

Been getting ready for my holidays.......which aren't for another two weeks........had my nails done, sun bed (although who will see my glorious fake tan up a bloody great hill in the Yorkshire Dales I don't know but I have to keep up standards ).......pet shop. ....... and got Mr JC backpack ( its a right posh one) for £8.00 in the charity shop next door to the beauty place......he can use it when he goes to see this Rory Gallagher thing in Ireland at the back end of May.

Afternoon from the west. Knackered.. we just climbed croagh patrick.

How incredibly sad is that? I've banged on to my GP for years about asking her older patients how much they really drink. I read somewhere its the 50-70 year olds who are now the biggest problem drinkers.

Id believe that too.. Kids grown up and they dont have to show a good example or hide it anymore. No idea they were being shipped off to nursing homes!
Thats very sad Mr G...

Off to do more very tiring things but very grateful that Im not heading for a nursing home instead. X

Knackered-- had to take husband to daughters -took said daughter to work then ran 19 miles with loads of walk breaks(got soaking wet)-- picked granddaughter up from school and took her to the doctors picked up daughter from work (long story) took her to her house then took husband home.
Just ordered a takeaway--STARVING
Could not have done any of that with a hangover, or if I had been in a care home!

That sounds a nightmare. Are you allowed to taser them if they get out of hand?
