So sue me.<\/p>\n<p>Was a great weekend though &#8211; had my first driving lesson in 22 years \ud83d\ude42 seems I&#8217;ve not picked up too many bad habits either so should be ok to take my test January time I reckon.<\/p>\n<p>After the lesson, I headed to Harriett&#8217;s and babysat while she went shopping (read babysitting as laying on the couch snoozing). Had a bit of dinner then we went out about 9.30 for some beer.<\/p>\n<p>Now, seeing as it was quite late, I was on a mission to drink it seems &#8211; in about half an hour I&#8217;d drunk 3 pints and was well onto the 4th. Harriett went off into town to meet up with tricia et al while I stayed in the Tudor until it closed, at which point a group of us decided to head into town for an Indian meal. Well, by the time we&#8217;d got organised (and stopped getting more beers), the restaurant was closed so it was decided (in blokey-type wisdom) to just carry on drinking.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow in the next hour or so Harriett and me met up again, then got a taxi back to hers (I don&#8217;t remember that at all), I do remember walking the babysitter home and realising I was actually, VERY drunk. Got back to the house drank some vodka then crashed out.<\/p>\n<p>First thing I saw in the morning was a glass of vodka beside the bed so in this way I prevented the inevitable hangover (Harriett suffered badly all day bless her).<\/p>\n<p>Got back to my house about 3 Saturday afternoon, had a bath, got changed and went back down the Tudor to meet up with mates and compare notes on what actually happened the previous night. Nobody was out &#8211; seems I was the only one not suffering \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Went back to Harriett&#8217;s about 6 (she was having a firework party) and proceeded to do it all again&#8230;this time I ended the night doing shots with John &#8211; we were alternating between tequila, ouzo and plum brandy. Weirdly, I woke up the next morning looking at a shot glass of Bailey&#8217;s (so I drank it)&#8230;this didn&#8217;t keep the hangover away though.<\/p>\n<p>I did manage to eat 2 big plates of dinner (thanks Harriett &#8211; your Sunday roasts are awesome \ud83d\ude42 ) then went home to get a well deserved early night&#8230;well, that was the plan. I ended up having a late one in the Tudor again and was EXTREMELY hungover Monday morning &#8211; I hate Mondays<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know &#8211; it&#8217;s Tuesday &#8211; I&#8217;m late.
