Champagne at the time, sewage the next day Damn those herbals, they construddled my weekend away. All well and good, and fun at the time, but the following day, woo watch-out. I am sure they have their place with many, but with me, I think I’ll stick to the old faithful: a glass of bubbles, followed by a few beers, some Patron (or Agavero) shots, with a couple of CC & D chasers, topped off by a Corona for good measure, and you are likely to get a similar euphoric feeling anyway. To read my full weekly wrap, click here, and feel free to share your experiences from the last week by dropping a comment in at the end (you can remain anonymous if you are shy!) If you haven’t fired me a prize draw email before now, why not make this your first time!
