What a week that was

Last weekend I watched the Sunday football game - as usual - with Andy (AKA 'Honic') - as usual - in the Tudor - as usual. As normally happens, we both ended up slightly tipsy (some would say pissed as farts but they're biased) and Honic left about 9.30-10.00 (as far as I know). I stayed for a bit longer, then decided I'd had enough so I went to the toilet prior to wandering home. As I came out of the toilet, I was (literally) jumped on by a friend who convinced me to go into town with them.

Now, bearing in mind she'd fallen through a bush on her way to the Tudor, and I had a definite wobble on, with hindsight this was maybe not such a good idea...

We made it to the Priory in two pieces (I think we may have merged into one along the way at some point or points), then she bought Sambuca (with a Beck's to wash it down).

I kind of lost track of things in the Priory then, apparently we were behaving badly and were told to leave as they wanted to close, so we wandered back to mine so she could get summat to eat.

Couldn't get her a cab before 4am so we sat up chatting and stuff until it arrived.

With 2 hours before I was due to get up for work I still thought I could do it so I crashed out - only to be woken by Tim ringing me saying they were outside, he (correctly) assumed from my response (a mumble) that I maybe needed another hour so he said he'd get me picked up when Corina came in.

Anyway, I DID make it into work, and even lasted until about 3.30 when the hangover major kicked in - then I had to go home. I tried laying on the couch, but decided that a 'hair of the dog' was needed, so I headed for the Tudor where the first pint went down VERY slowly. The second was okay, the third was blurred by the fourth...and before you know it, I was drunk again which made me realise I'd not make it in to work tomorrow.

Tuesday morning I vowed to stay off alcohol for a week (minimum) - and, too date I have :smile: even Friday night when I got a call to go to the Priory at 1am, I drank a coke. Even the Spurs v Arsenal game (2-2), I drank coke.

From Tuesday I can have a beer, but I think I'll leave it until Friday
