Hello 🤢🤕

Went out for, what was supposed to be, a couple of pre dinner drinks with DP, but what actually happened was, "meh.. it's cheaper to get a bottle".....followed by another couple of glasses, which then turned into "f* it, I can't be arsed to cook anyway, let's just eat here" knowing that the food is usually questionable and we could probably do with saving the money, but by this point we probably shouldn't be in contact with flames or sharp knives, so it's now more a health and safety issue really Wink A couple more glasses with dinner, taxi home, followed by more wine at home with music nostalgia, in the form of Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill. I think there was dancing 🕺...... I'm not sure. Yes, I think there was dancing 🤦

Am now laying in bed with 'the fear' wondering why I've done this to myself.

Anyone else?

Yes!!! I am there with you. Only wanted a few glasses of wine.... turned into bottles and cocktails. Spent all night with the fear and still have the fear.

Eeee bottles of wine and cocktails 😬 Ouch. It's so much worse when your intentions started off so well!

Urgh the fear is the worst, my sympathies!
You need coke, ready salted crisps and fresh air.

So pleased I’ve given up alcohol, not smug honest 😉

Can I join?
I had a few too many vodkas last night and although I’m not hungover I’m definitely feeling the fear!!

temp, haha I think you have a right to be smug. I've had a lot of coffee and carbs.

Imagine if you woke up full of the joys of Spring. You'd be inclined to do it all again tonight. Jesus, that's a terrifying thought, NotTonight Confused

Shadow, absolutely. Glad you're not feeling ill, but the fear is almost worse. Good night though?..

Oh my sympathies OP. I was like this yesterday. Rarely go out. Cheap wine/ empty stomach combo leading to further poor choices, cocktails, beer, chips and cheese Sad
I felt nauseous, tired, grumpy, anxious and raging with myself I’d wasted a lovely Saturday. I am a complete and utter pathetic weakling with a hangover. Even coke and crisps did not help.
All good today though.

Eat plenty of crap and drink sweet tea. Early bath and bed for you! Smile

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 13:57

Went out for half an hour. Came home at 2.30. I'm dying. And I feel guilty on too because I'm not doing fun stuff with ds after his first week at school. Sad

Littlepond · 08/09/2019 13:57

I also have The Fear and a horrible banging headache. I’m supposed to be dieting but all I’ve done today is eat cos I’m carb craving so I feel more anxious and guilty cos of all the food. And why won’t this headache go?? 😫

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:12

The headache.

abitoflight · 08/09/2019 14:16

Started at 630 with civilised dinner
Then people came back to ours
Then went to meet DD from work, met people we know and back home at 130 Confused
Bacon and tomato sandwich with brown sauce helped no end!

smileylottie87 · 08/09/2019 14:30

Had a party at home last night not feeling too bad but a very late night so I'm tired! Cuddled up on the sofa with OH and a blanket watching crap tv, the corona I'm having has vastly improved my state of mind Grin. It may be time for a little nap soon

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:32

Corona? You clearly don't have that bad a hangover. If I drank anything I would fall down dead I think.

smileylottie87 · 08/09/2019 14:35

I'm not horrendously hungover, like I said not feeling too bad but I do find a hair of the dog helps when feeling really crap

Cric · 08/09/2019 14:35

How are we all getting on?? I have my family over for lunch....

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:38

Sorry I only have one eye open so can't read so well Grin

There you all are!

I've just dragged myself out to walk the dogs and actually the fresh, almost autumnal air, is helping quite a lot. DP suggested stopping at the pub on the way back 🤢 I guess I could just have a coke. Hair of the dog does help sometimes though, although it's about as appealing as sticking pins in my eyes right now. Hot pins.

DP sent for McDonald's , DS has every single loud toy out imaginable whilst shouting "Mumaaaaaaaaa" approximately 900 times a minute and my legs KILL from dancing in heels last night.

Send help.

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:45

Oh god I danced. In front of the whole town. To trap music. I asked the (very young) DJ to play some drum and bass. Fucking hell. Kill me now.

Oh, karen 😬 You really are suffering. Have you had ibuprofen and paracetamol? One normally gives the other a little boost.

Haha karen, bet you felt like the coolest at the time though, didn't you Wink Grin

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:48

@coffeeandapastry we don't have any of either so Dh was clever and made me a lemsip. I would KILL for ibuprofen right now.

karenbokaren · 08/09/2019 14:49

I felt so cool. Oh god. I'm going to cringe under the duvet all day. Blush

Lemonysherbet · 08/09/2019 14:50

🙋alco fears over here! Why do we do this to ourselves. I've written off today to bed, films and food. a hangover is the only time I'll let myself do this so secretly enjoying it
