Ruined weekend

Treated myself to a bottle of Prosecco last night, it turned out to be so sweet it was undrinkable. DH bought me a replacement today, clearly marked extra dry.

Its not only too sweet it has the flavour of cardboard.

😭

Has anyone else had a similarity terrible weekend yet?

@Popetthetreehugger oh. Any damage to the car is definitely a weekend ruiner 😞

elmooie · 30/09/2023 19:50

😁was wondering that too! Tho if you want to stretch it out, after a couple of glasses it generally tastes much better anyway

Why are you drinking a bottle of prosecco two nights in a row? Is it a special occasion?

Who appointed you fun police?

Popetthetreehugger · 30/09/2023 19:49

Scraped my car ( both doors )coming out of library . DH for some reason put a new olive dish in the washing up bowl and now it has a chip out of it 😬Iv had a face like an arse all day

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 30/09/2023 19:49

Our chip shop is shut due to a problem with the fryer. I’m pregnant with horrible morning sickness and all I wanted was a chip-shop chip butty (homemade is not the same). We ended up with pizza which I suspect has made the nausea worse – bastard acidic tomatoes.

Totally agree re Cremant. Much nicer.

My weekend tragedy was, like that of many others, curry related. Curry arrived, was yummy as always BUT THERE WERE NO POPPADOMS. I really hope it is not a cost cutting measure on their part and was simply a terrible, terrible mistake. Having only one of the dc here meant we didn't meet the spend threshold for a free beer was bad enough. But no poppadoms too?

@Muchtoomuchtodo
Closed down or just closed for today? Absolutely gutting when you lose a good curry house.
We found a fantastic curry place, honestly the best we’ve ever had. Became regular customers until one day the phone just rang out, another day there was an answerphone message about a family emergency, they’d be open as soon as they could etc
The phone line went completely dead after that, number not recognised. We saw in the paper a few months later that a family were actually making the food in their home kitchen and so it was an illegally run business. We didn’t give a hoot, their food was incredible. We still occasionally say to eachother ‘ooh remember so-en-sos curries, yum!’ 🤣

I added too much salt to my roasted tomato soup:-( and squished my focaccia dough when transferring from proving bowl to baking tray and it didn't rise well :-(

I had surgery and have been off work for 8 weeks. Due back at work on Monday and now have sodding Covid

Ineedwinenow · 30/09/2023 19:48

I was in Costco yesterday and saw Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolies vineyard wine and got excited that it would be a beautiful French bottle of the good stuff but alas no, it’s rank, no taste whatsoever and I’m considering throwing the remainder away ( I should have guessed really being on sale in Costco) but I’m totally gutted and it’s ruined my weekend and I wasted £15.00 on one bottle of expensive shite plonk! I tried adding Lemonade to see if a spritzer would be better but nope, it’s worse! Now I’ve got a bottle of Peroni instead..

Terribleatthis · 30/09/2023 19:47

@WhyHasAllTheRumGone It is! And I love it but all the arm days in the world would not prepare me for this!

I bet your special occasions are fun if you think a couple of bottles of Prosecco on a weekend is extravagant

StopFuckingTouchingMe · 30/09/2023 19:46

I have Covid and I can't taste anything. It's so boring.

randomrandom · 30/09/2023 19:45

smallshinybutton · 30/09/2023 19:26

Could you down it?

I think this is my favourite response! Although would make OP very burpy

ScoobyDoesnt · 30/09/2023 19:44

I have covid - on a bloody weekend - and am off work next week for hols. Bad timing!

And I wish I could even drum up an appetite for curry and Prosecco!

Lastchancechica · 30/09/2023 19:44

Op it’s covid
I am genuinely not kidding
Dh and I were complaining of everything tasting dire.

WhyHasAllTheRumGone · 30/09/2023 19:44

@Terribleatthis is it the new Strike? I decided to get it on audible because I just don't have the arm strength for it, however good it is 😂

ChaChaRealSmooth · 30/09/2023 19:44

The tool to chase out our walls broke and had to order the bit online, delaying our kitchen renovations, then the dishwasher stopped working also 😂

londonrach · 30/09/2023 19:42

Are you pregnant? Serious question...it alters taste buds...it's very unlikely two be undrinkable...just saying

Terribleatthis · 30/09/2023 19:41

I am reading a book I’ve been looking forward to but it’s a hardback and I am tired and now it feels too heavy. 🥲 it’s not weekend ruining as yet but I can’t find a good place to comfortably read it 😂

I do have a kindle but it’s not the same as pages….

Spaghettihulahoops · 30/09/2023 19:41

Well Goldilocks, maybe the third bottle will be just right (or maybe you’ll be so pissed you won’t care).

MiniCooperLover · 30/09/2023 19:40

You need Cava not Prosecco. Cava generally always dry and delicious ... I am having some right this moment (sorry OP)

My omelette went asymmetrical when I folded it over Sad

That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard someone had to cope with.

Sorrows and prayers 💐💐

🤣🤣🤣

Just paid for two DC’s gold DoE kit. Who knew just how expensive good hiking boots and waterproof coats and seemingly a thousand layers of clothing could be.
Little change from £1k 😥
It’ll be a quiet weekend 😄

Sports Pursuit is your friend. So much cheaper than other places.
