I am officially old!

I think that you have a moment in life where it hits you that you are no longer as young as you thought you were. I am not exactly ancient at the age of 26 but I realised this morning that drinking on a week night is no longer a good idea! Mr S, myself and our sometimes-lodger went to open-mike night at our local bar last night. This is every Thursday and always a really good night, I don't always go but felt like getting out of the house last night so off I went. Yes off I went and drank 3 pints (I know, I know not very lady-like) and talked to lots of people and even joined in with one open-mike session and was safely tucked in bed by 11.45 feeling fine. That was until my alarm woke me up this morning and since then I have felt as though a small man with a huge drum kit has climbed inside my head, not good, I have learnt my lesson.

First Hangover for a long time!!!

Oh dear, definitely felt my age this morning!! We had some friends over for dinner last night and consumed quite a lot of alcohol. We started the evening with champagne, then 2 bottles of red wine, then 2 very strong Cuba Libres!! Had a really lovely night but my head was banging this morning, gone are the days when I can just jump out of bed the next morning bright eyed and bushy tailed. Mr S was even more hungover than me having polished off several glasses of Whiskey after dinner, I don't think we will be having a drink for a while, our livers are definitely in need of a holiday.

So due to recovering we have not had a very productive day but that's what Saturday's are for aren't they. We did get dressed and went for a walk in the park this morning which was really lovely, I love this time of the year when the leaves are changing colour and it's all blustery; looking forward to being able to take Alfie with us once he has had his jabs. We got provisions and headed back home, embarrassingly I was back in my pyjamas by lunchtime! This evening we are going to continue our day of being slovenly by ordering a take away and watching X-Factor.

I have found this week really tough, not feeling 100% at the moment but really had some time to think today and I think that I am going to try and see Monday as a new start and move forward. I am very lucky to be surrounded by people who care and love me and sometimes you need to bad times to make you realise who those people truly are.
