Do you save stuff ‘for best’?

I used to but after some realising that best hardly ever comes I’ve stopped.

However I fancy a glass of wine and all I have in is a gift which is a £50 bottle of champagne. I’m thinking I could have two glasses tonight, the rest tomorrow and it’s all good.

But also seems wasteful.

WWYD?

YABU - wasteful bint - are you an alcoholic? Save for sharing

YANBU - crack it open and add a penguin for good measure (the only chocolate in the house)

Obviously a lighthearted thread!

Crack it open. We got MIL a naice bottle of champagne for her 80th birthday - she's says it's too fancy to drink and has put it away for some unspecified point in the future. That wasn't the idea at all and I'd hate to find it after she's gone (not that we have any reason to believe that will be soon)

You’ve all echoed my feelings so it’s being opened very shortly!

I used to save things. Now I use and enjoy it all! Life is too short. Light the fancy candles, spray the perfume, drink the posh wine 🍷 😀

drink the champagne
(wear the dress and the shoes, eat the cake and tell those you love that you love them as well)

Crack it open. If you wait for a special occasion there will be guests and you’ll only get a glass of the good stuff.

Yes I used to, but came to think like you do

'Best' rarely comes
