First but not my last.

Your wondering what the title is all about. Gin Geoff ale and life. Well it's simple I like gin I like ale I don't always like life and Geoff is my little man,  my stress buster, my monster of a jack Russell. Geoff aka Geoffrey starlord or his Instagram name geoff_the_jack. Geoff isn't the only man in my life he's my little
Man I have a big man. Jon, my husband is the other import constant in my life and without him I'd be lost.
 Why would you want to read my blog ? I wonder myself. I'm not rich I'm not famous and I'm not glamorous but what I am is me, the non exceptional every day north east English bird that loves her beer and sips on gin. I know more about ale than most men and I've got more collectables than forbidden planet.

2016 started and finished pretty crappy for most people but for me it finished pretty good , 2016 was
A
Pretty decent year for me but the start of this year not so much.
I left my stressful nightshift care job after 12 years for a new career in retail starting as a assistant at the counter at a pharmacy. Exciting but after 10 years of night shift my body has broken. I couldn't cope and wohoo I lost weight but I'm losing the plot along with it. So tomorrow I quit my job and start a new journey.

Finances will be tight , poor jon has to wait for his PS4 he will have to continue swearing at his battlefield PS3 game for a little while long and marks and Spencer's can forget but 6 bottles and get 25% offer on their beer being put on my bank account statement for a while.
No more sunny holidays for a while and no more random buys. The bathroom renovation and summer house put back on the things to do not getting done and financial fun out the window.

For goodness sake I'm nearly 40 and I'm embarrassed to say but I'm suffering with anxiety. Worst thing about it is the medication I have been give. Says not recommended to take with alcohol. Oh no no no ale and gin how will I cope
