How did that happen!

Phoenix. That reminds me of our Girl Guide motto: Be Prepared. . Very thoughtful of you.

I used to keep a wrapped bottle of wine and a box of chocolates in the car when visiting friends around Christmas. That way if they surprised us with a present, I could say "Oh heavens, I've left yours in the car!" Then nip out to get it and give it to them, moaning about how the gift tag had fallen off and was under the seat.

Give it to the postman - if there's any left by the morning!

Do you really expect us to believe this? - oh my, how did that happen, I have a bottle of wine left over

And the solution is of course. Slainte/Good Health

I thought it was beetroot jiuce for stamina . The wine can be for later [a glass for each, perhaps?].

Drink it for stamina just before you put up the decorations.

It will dull the pain if you fall off the step ladder. Or chair.

ive got a couple of empty glasses here lol

Well don't go looking at the 'Can you go without booze for 31 days' thread Sunseeker
