Its Friday, the weather is beautiful.

I'm sat um the garden with one too many purple violet gin and tonics and my DP is alseeo on the sofa for a pre-skittles nap!

I'm bored, someone entertain me! What are we all doing?!

Heres a picture of my G&T for 'context'
-i just want to show off my berries-

How nice is the weather?! I’ve been drinking wine and discussing WW1 with my 16yr old

Sexnotgender · 19/04/2019 18:51

I’m jealous. I’m sitting in a darkened room waiting for 11 week old DS to go to sleep.

Kittykat93 · 19/04/2019 18:53

I've been sat in the garden in between chasing my 18 month old round. I've poured a glass of wine as he will be going to bed in ten minutes !

Your drink looks lovely 😊

HarryDaylight · 19/04/2019 18:54

I'm relaxing on the sofa with a large glass of G & T. The old man is sitting in the garden listening to Frank Zappa on his headphones with a beer.
Happy Good Friday Smile

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 18:55

@littlepond its lovely! Someone at work told me it was going to snow.. not sure what they were on about Hmm
Can you adopt me? I love having decent conversations/debates while having a tipple! Also very homing knowing some teens like to stay at home and talk to mum/dad! I'm 22 and often visit my mum to have a drink and and a natter about whatever's in the news... a lot of Brexit gossip recently since the news have nothing but!

@sexnotgender jealous of me?! I'm jealous of you! TTC 7 months and just cannot wait to have a little one to sit in the dark with!
11 weeks, how are you getting on?

I've been ferrying 'cross the Mersey in 73°F of sunshine then shopping fort tee-shirts and shorts. Boots and winter coat not appropriate!

BlueMerchant · 19/04/2019 18:57

Contemplating a bath but can't be bothered to move off the sofa. Thinking shall I use my Sanctuary bath Elixr or Stress-relief Radox. I'm also wondering whether to eat my dds white chocolate egg or have a Galaxy Ripple Grin

DramaAlpaca · 19/04/2019 18:57

Ooh, your G&T looks pretty! I might make myself one, I've got some fruit in the fridge & some raspberry gin.

I've had lunch out with a friend then did some gardening with DH. We'll walk the dogs in a bit, then have dinner & flop in front of the TV.

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 18:58

@kittykat93 again very jealous, sounds like a lovely evening for you both!

@harrydaylight i do love a g&t, when did they get so trendy?! Juat bought a bottle of purple violet gin in Tesco for £21.. was £26! So nice I couldn't resist.. Grin

I’m looking forward to an evening on the sofa in control of the remote as DH is away working this weekend. The dog is walked and the cat hasn’t got up yet ( what a life). I’m going to faff around in the garden this weekend. I have cooked hotdogs on the bbq for me and me alone and will have wine.

Littleelffriend · 19/04/2019 19:00

I’m on my own until Sunday. Oh and dd age 2 are away for 2 nights and I was soooo excited but now I don’t know what to do with myself 🙁

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:03

@singlenotsingle I dont for in °F only °C! Mmm shopping.. dont tempt me!

@bluemerchant mmm I would go with the radon stress relief! Gos knows we all need it.. send some my way!

@dramaAlpaca do it! Cant go wing with g&t and fruit!
Agh, can you come and so my garden? We bought a house last year and the garden is so boring! I have lovely trelleces with sweet pea and a rose up through it but the rest of my garden is Boring! I dont have a green thumb at all.. I'm 23 in June and I've put 'landscaper' on my birthday list!

Guys I made my last g&t much too strong! My nose has gone numb.. that's how I know I'm abit tipsy!

I'm having a glass of wine, just had a shower after gardening all afternoon, the curry is heating and Dcs are off with friends. That means I get the remote control to watch the GB menu and Gardeners' World. Simple pleasures. Grin

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:07

@finfintytint
That sounds amazing! My DP went on a works course on Wednesday for a night and having two days to myself was blissful!
My dog is in the garden with me chilling in this beautiful evening sun and my cat is nowhere to be seen, shes probably laying stretched out in the rain somewhere..

@littleelffriend join me for a g&t! Dont be sad, its lovely that your OH and DD are spending some quality time together! When I gave children I hope my OH is as considerate and sweet as yours with our little one!

I'm collapsed on the sofa and not moving for the rest of the evening - well apart from getting the takeaway menu to order some pizzas. We've walked for miles today around a Roman Fort and Hadrian's Wall (we picked a really hilly bit). It was bloody hot and my feet are killing.

TattiePants · 19/04/2019 19:08

PS, I don't even like G&T but that looks gorgeous!

HellonHeels · 19/04/2019 19:09

Ooo i used to use the numb nose as a sign I'd had too much Smile

Does the violet gin taste of violets?

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:09

@elephantoverthehill
Again, can you come and do my garden? Its desperate! Mmm I'd kill for a curry right now! GB menu? Haven't heard of it. I love to cook though!

OP posts:
gggrrrargh · 19/04/2019 19:12

Seconded, not fond of gin but that does look refreshing! I’m being inspired to have an alcoholic drink to celebrate good Friday.. shame my ‘garden’ is a small concrete patch with high walls, very similar to a prison yard!

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:13

@Tattiepants
Sounds like you've had a full day, you definitely deserve a drink! I dont like regular g&t, to me it tastes like paracetemol. But this paramedics violet g&t is sweet and drinkable.. Blush

@hellonheels it tastes exactly like Parma violets! Ita vloody lovely.. your username tells me we would be great friends..

IAmnNot GB menu is over a number of weeks on BBC 2 at 8.00. The best regional chefs compete to cook at the GB banquet. I watch it to hear all the wanky cheffy type comments but I do have a vague connection to Andy, one of the judges. I will not do your garden I have been weeding and watering at the allotment and in my back garden Wink

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:15

@gggrrrargh you must try the purple violet gin, it will change your life!
Any garden is a good garden for a alcoholic beverage! My garden is currently an absolutely shit tip. We haven't rou hes or since moving in but I promise myself I'll make it nice this summer

GooodMythicalMorning · 19/04/2019 19:15

Oh I'm so jealous. Im off to work in a mo. but have been outside a bit.

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:17

@elephantoverthehill sounds like my kind of programme.. i will give it a go.
That's a shame, I'm much to lazy to sort our my own garden!

@gooodmythicalmorning
Bummer! Bank off work and enjoy a g&t with me!
