Considerably Drunker Than You

In Vino Veritas

About Me

Scatty, dry-humoured, laid-back. Maker of much mischief. Random woman driver with homing ability. Wife to Meldrew and guardian of kitty duo: one mentalist and one angel. Likes too much vino and smokes like a chimney. Always think of witty comebacks about 2 hours after the comment (bah!).
Clumsy Queen of Brum; my last public humiliation was walking into a mirror in Mango thinking it was a door. Always need more sleep than I actually get. Just turned 30 but I feel a hell of a lot better than I did than at 20, so b@llocks to being twentysomething again. Partial to Millie's Cookies (the baking wench of plentyful fine stodgetabulous fayre). Cake rules.
Little petrol-head, in so much as I love brum-brums, would love to do one of the big-name road rallies, but can only do basics of air, water, petrol and questionable driving, but couldn't change a tyre for all the tea in China. My lovely mechanic, Alfie, does that for me.
People with dry and warped humour, who are friendly, quick-witted and, basically, nuts.... I salute you!
