This is the proudest moment of mine (and am sure mum's) Life..... well, this and the day I came 2nd at the beer olympics at Conception Day, oh and when I won the drinking games on Australia day in Canada! So many proud moments to reflect on in my now so sober days! HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!
Rach it was pretty spectular! You where sleeping on my handbag! And that random guys ID!
Don't worry love! Your soberness will only last till Nov when me and my trashbag mates descend on canada!So love your liver while it lasts!
The handbag was nothing it was sleeping on the hard bristle hair brush that really killed me!!! I woke up and wondered why my leg was so sore! Your handbag actually made a pretty comfy pillow till your phone started ringing!!!!
BRING ON NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!
