Work Christmas lunch yesterday. Ended up a highly boozy affair. Got home about 1am. Threw up (tidily). Threw up again this morning and now I can’t get out of bed. Every time I sit or stand I want to be sick. My head is splitting.

I have two under-fours. This is my first night out in a long long time. DH took them out for Christmassy things this morning and I am gutted that I couldn’t be there. I just couldn’t. They are heading back now and I need to get up and help.

Please help. Someone out there must have a hangover cure.

I have read the whole thread but your reason doesn't make any sense, because their own father, who is equally capable of parenting, was there to look after them. Being a parent doesn't mean you have to be with them 24/7 just that you need to make sure that someone competent is looking after them.

I get like that if I mix,I've def learnt the hard way not to! Flowers

Spicy as fuck Bloody Mary and two steak bakes.

Or, in lieu of that, a coke and at least 3 slices of marmite toast with butter.

It's not your age that, so much as you feeling yourself qualified to criticise someone who is actually a parent that I find amusing.

I had my first child at 21 and it was certainly nothing like I imagined. One's earnest opinions on child-rearing take a battering once you actually have your own.

MiaowMix · 22/12/2018 16:54

All round to @ihatehoney's for a big old FUN Partay then Hmm

How can you lecture someone about how to parent their kids responsibly when you are 20 years old and don't have kids ffs?
😂😂

Congratulations on being so sanctimonious and preachy. 😇

I always have a lucozade and an anadin extra. When I have a sicky hangover I find eating is not good! So I just have some crisps or something.

I wouldn't have ibuprofen when you are hungover, when your dehydrated it's not good for your kidneys so I never have ibuprofen hungover, that's what we were always taught with st John ambulance. Although not sure paracetamol is great for your liver having said that.

Sometimes with a hangover nothing can make you better and you've just got to ride the pain. Like with a sickness bug, you can't make it better only wait it out.

I only had half a bottle of wine yesterday and I feel awful today and I'm only 23! Not looking forward to hangovers getting worse if this is my early 20s hangover Xmas Angry

Ride it out, there is no other way ! I went on a work do and had to be at work at 8am the next day it was carnage I bent over at work and nearly threw up Blush

Anyway you always appreciate the next day so much as you feel so much better !!!

VanGoghsDog · 22/12/2018 17:06

@ihatehoney

Least surprising statement of the year!

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:06

Too busy being goady on tinternet Hmm

ihatehoney · 22/12/2018 17:16

@VanGoghsDog I'm 20 where the fuck do you want me to host? I live in my own tiny flat lmao 😂 I'm sure I will in years to come.👍🏻

ihatehoney · 22/12/2018 17:16

@hobnobsaremyfave get a grip.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:17

Why would I need a grip?
What a strange thing to say? Confused

prettywhiteguitar · 22/12/2018 17:17

Aren’t you just adorable @ihatehoney !

GreyGardens88 · 22/12/2018 17:18

I thoroughly believe the only cure for a hangover is time and sleep

MiaowMix · 22/12/2018 17:19

@VanGoghsDog 😂
@ihatehoney huge surprise. You sound so charming and sociable... Smile

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:21

It’s like the level of discourse you expect from a surly teen Grin

ihatehoney · 22/12/2018 17:21

@hobnobsaremyfave you're harassing me on the internet! Maybe get a life would have been a better expression.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:21

Harassing Grin

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:22

PMSL

ihatehoney · 22/12/2018 17:22

@MiaowMix I am with my friends. Not strangers on the internet (who are probably 30 years older than me) that are insulting me.

MiaowMix · 22/12/2018 17:22

@hobnobsaremyfave barely out of her teens with no children and lecturing the internet on being irresponsible parents. What a delight.

combatbarbie · 22/12/2018 17:23

Jeez..... if you can't ket yourself go once in a while, but your a certified alcoholic now Confused

You will be feeling human now but in future....fizzy pop and salted crisps does it for me

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 22/12/2018 17:23

@MiaowMix
I know
I feel chastised

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 22/12/2018 17:24

Awww come on people. Let’s not forget we were all perfect parents-to-be once upon a time too.

Peace and goodwill.........
