correlation

Miss almost-19 is on a gap year , you know that time taken between school and university- to learn about yourself,
to help you make those important who-am-I and what do I want to do with my life type decisions ? A time to cast off the childhood and become an adult?

Well , it is only May and already she has learnt one immutable truth

(I'm so proud)

  2. Did she make that? It's fantastic. Gawd, it's been a while since I had some fruity lexia. Used to love Tropicana, me.

    Hmm

    Tropicana makes boys funner?

  18. Hehehe.... I've only ever been sick twice from drinking too much, and the first time, more than 20 years ago, was from Fruity Lexia out of a cask.

    And yes, the boy did look sexy, and he thought I was alright too.... until I threw up in his hat. It was one of those baseball caps with the devils horns growing out of it.

    Aaahh to be young again!

    Linda. :)

  19. Hee hee - Fruity Lexia obviously gives you the 'beer goggles' effect!!

    How else could we ensure the future of humankind?

  21. ... and proud you should be!!
    When I lived in London a flatmate of mine was known for having such beer goggles- girls he swore to us were gorgous- while he was drunk- the night before and then in the morning they would be quite plain... it was hilarious- so we glued some pint glasses onto a pair of old sunnies and made him wear them on his 30th birthday for the whole night.

  22. I learned that lesson to at about the same age (or perhaps even a bit earlier!). Then the sexy fruity lexia boy introduced me to his cousin....
    I married the cousin and now breathe a sigh of relief as sexy fruity lexia boy is now middle aged, paunchy and grey!!

  23. Oh Jodie, you are hilarious. I just laughed out loud. What a scary truth too. hehe. x
