Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

Rose,
Thanks for the tip re solvent cleaner. The stuff I was using was probably something like that - the carpenters gave it to me - but it was still quite a job. I didn't know your hubby fitted veluxes, if he was a bit closer he could have done mine. We've done 3 now, and we need to do another 3 plus possibly a couple of sun pipes/light tubes.

Pablo - I think you should give up the alcohol and become tea-total like me, before you wreck your liver like that guy that used to play football - I've forgotten his name but I'm sure you know who I mean.

George Best?

Last night was the first time I have had alcohol in about 6 weeks (apart from a 'wee dram' in the house on Thursday) and I don't really tend to drink a whole lot. Pretty happy to go out and have a coke. Sometimes just don't feel the need.

Me too, never really had the need for alcohol and can honestly claim in all my years I have never had a hangover. Thats not to say i dont enjoy a beer, or a good whisky but can not stand wine

Thanks Pablo,
Yes, it was George Best, and I remember being annoyed because he'd had a liver transplant and then wasted it by continuing to drink. It must have been heartbreaking for his family and friends.

My husband and I both have/had relatives who drank far too much/alcoholics and now I don't drink any and he drinks very little (like a couple of glasses of wine at Christmas).

I'm glad to hear you don't drink much. I wouldn't have thought students could afford to drink these days, it's incredibly expensive especially if you drink out in the pub. When I was a student one of my female friends used to drink 10 pints per session - I wonder if she's had a liver transplant yet :?:

I didn't like wine much either until this year and I had wine in the chalet with dinner and it was pretty nice actually. Would still rather have a cold beer or a Dr. Pepper though 8)

Yes amongst other things Hubby owns a small glazing business. He fits windows, doors conservatories. I need new windows, a conservatory and a porch, but he never has the time.

I used to worry that my Son drank too much, but that was several years ago, now he says he hardly goes out. Too busy doing up his flat, working and girlfriends. But when he does go out, he goes way over the top.

I spent £50 last night :( I am doing OK with money actually, zero student loan thus far and some savings tucked away :lol:

I don't think I could drink 10 pints and be alive .
