The law of Sod

January is always a fairly blah month for us, we are usually exhausted and skint due to the excesses of Christmas. This year mradventures and I for the very first time have decided to do a dry January. We are doing plenty fine on it, possibly because January tends to be the month where we just don't seem to go out, we are quietly contented upon the sofa. 

We have a few things in the diary to go to, we have been invited to a 40th birthday do next Saturday, we can do that.

We have another dinner out on Wednesday 27th, again not a big issue.

But the real kicker?

Beautiful Baby Daughter found out yesterday she has got a job, that's a great thing, it doesn't make me reach for the bottle at all. BBD is going to be working in an extremely fancy cocktail place that is being opened on Friday 28th of January, 

As they have over 80 cocktails on the menu with 40 kinds of gin, they are inviting family and friends on Thursday 27th for a free trial night.

Yes indeed, free cocktails a few days before the end of dry January.

The law of Sod indeed.
