I have a sloe in my garden, and a pain in the butt it is too, literally.

I used to do my mums friends hair sometime s at night ,One of them used to bring sloe gin after hairdressing all day the last thing i wanted to do, was doing more hair. She used to say "oh she wont mind doing yours" !without asking me. Must say i wasnt to pleased, but the sloe gin after two glasses they knew would soften me up!
