Cider, Cider, Cider

Would like to point out this is NOT me!!

On Friday night I went to a very good friend’s house for Dinner. I got so drunk. It was a mix of white wine, champagne and red wine. I always seem to do this and always with her. I hate it. I feel like an idiot and just generally know it’s not good for me or who I want to be. I look like a right idiot. So I was going to say right I am not drinking anymore for at least 4 weeks. But that is quite extreme, so I am going to try and drink Cider. It’s not so alcoholic, I really like it and coming into the summer (!) it’s the perfect drink to have. The trouble is I come from quite a drinking family (not alcoholics but there is wine with most evening meals or lunch) and so when you say no to something it turns into quite a big thing. I am going to try and sneak it in to daily life somehow....maybe not daily but you get my point! 

On another note... we might have solved our housing situation, we still can’t get a mortgage but my parents have come up with a genius plan that will enable us to have our own place, with a low rent and be able to save. They own a property that isnt being totally used, so we are going to develop part of the building to turn it into a nice size flat. Now it’s still a flat and I would have liked a house but we will be able to save money, have our own place and skip the first house stage. If we had bought a house we would have lived there for 2 or 3 years and then bought a bigger place and now we will just go into the bigger place as we will also be able to save ALOT for 3 years. It's still in the planning stages and is 70/20 being able to happen but there could be light at the end of the tunnel!!
