Twas the days after Christmas....

Is there anything more depressing than the month of January?

Detoxing is the topic of the day as we guiltly ignore the credit card statement from Christmas and theweeks worth of parties beforehand in which you ever so easily slid the card over the bar and had that extra cocktail or that last round of shooters, thinking deep down that January will be a cheap month "as I will be detoxing".

Detoxing can be for your body and the pain and abuse inflicted on it from over indulgence, detoxing can be for your bank account as you try to build it up to a point whereby the weekly shopping does not have to go onto the credit card as you attempt to string your last 50$ across 3 weeks, detoxing can be for your mind as you wake up in January and think "oh god, its 2007 and I really need a better job, more money or just something new and exciting" so you start 'beautifying' your CV in the hope that it will land you a fabulous new job with more pay and less work.

So how do we kick off detox for all parts of our bodies and minds? My approach has been to cut out wine, which worked until the first suggestion of a drink. Trying to not spend too much money worked until I walked into the "Further 50% off reduced prices" in CR this morning at 9am (Was late for work and figured an extra 15 mins would really not matter now). Finally I am working on the new and exciting job front by remembering to email my to CV to 'decorate' in my spare time.

In this difficult and emotional time of January - How do you cope with the new year and the ultimate question of "Detox" ?

WELCOME!

Welcome and well done us!
Ok- So I'm feeling that pats on the back are somewhat deserved this time around- a drunken discussion and brilliant idea has actually come into fruition!

Welcome to the inaugural cheese and wine blog- a spot where two of us lovely ladies will wax lyrical about all things life has to offer us- more often than not, it will probably contain stories and anecdotes of all the unlovely things our other halves subject us to! But, will be a general life's rambling about them and us, about girlfriends and us, about shopping and us, and of course, cheese and wine and us! (It's all about us you see!).

The basic premise is that we tend to get too caught up in the little things and so many people get angsty and too bloody self reflective for my liking- girls, grab some cheese, skol some wine, and everything's fine! It's a simple idea, but it works for us.

So- enjoy, we welcome your comments and really hope to develop a nice little readership here on blogger.

Happy summer!
