Raise a glass with me tonight?

[letsjog]

DCs are in bed and I'm up on my own with a whilst DP is out tonight.
I'm not really a drinker. My last drink was a glass of prossecco at a family members birthday about 6 weeks ago.

I'm currently trying to drown my sorrows after finding something out today, nothing serious or life changing but just something that gets me.
I know I'm BU but I just want to be allowed to be a kid about it on my own right now before I hoist my big girl pants up in the morning and get on with it.

So here goes

How's everyone else's night going?

Enjoy it. Everyone is allowed to drown their sorrows once in a while. I'll join you. 🍷🍷

Oh op, I raise my undiluted gin with you.

I had a Fuck it Friday yesterday, and was on the Fuck it Friday thread... Now having a Sod it Saturday.

Hope you can put yourself in a good place regarding what ever has happened to you today

Relax and enjoy it and hope situation is resolved soon

Enjoy your drink and wallow... make sure you drink/wallow/have a cry/rant enough as tomorrow the kids will be completely unaware , and dh may be hungover. Whatever it is, I hope you get your head round it op

Cheers, I'll join you. I've had many an evening like this - most recently over the summer when my ex-H got married again. I had no bitterness about it, just needed to quietly get tiddly on my own.

This eve I am wishing I had a lovely partner to share life's ups and downs with, but instead I have MN and First Dates, which is a fairly good second along with a decent vibrator.

In fact fuck it, I had a shit night yesterday as I planned a work Eve at pub which lots of people were going to, due to work type it's hard to get everyone together so it was a good eve.... Except I couldn't go as DH forgot and swapped shifts with someone. So no childcare.

DH realised this today and after fuckung off fishing, as he does whenever he has days off, was ever so gutted etc... Then his friends asked if we wanted to go to a shitty tribute night, eh said he hates these nights, boring etc...neither of us fussed.... So got in, to find DH making himself tea which he deignwd to share while I had a shower.... Only to find DH ready to go out as he had "promised" we'd go.out so "can't not go" (bollicks, he was talking about having steak for tea so had never arranged to go.out) basically after fuckingup my once in a blue moon night out has taken himself out.

He can fuck right off. I am so fucked off.

I never can assume there is an adult in to have DC if I want to go out, yet DH can go out whenever as I am always in on an eve.

I am so so so fed up.

Hence neat gin as he has fucked off out without prior notice so.unless I want to get dressed and go out in pissing down rain I have nothing in to drink with gin. Nor wine.

Which gin, Joyce? Sorry about your DH being an arse btw.

@JoyceDivision sorry to hear that. If it helps I have a bottle of white I can't be bothered to open you're welcome to it

I've finished one of those mini bottles of red I usually have in the house for bolognese and eyeing up the prossecco in the fridge which has been there for way too long.

I didn't find out anything bad just something that reminds me of something I can't have/do and potentially never will.
It's a shitty one. But also I know it's a petty one considering how lucky I am with my lovely DP and DCs.

But fuck me if tonight I'm not going to have a good wallow about it and think fuck fuck fuckiddy fucking fuck it.
all around.

Bombay sapphire.

It has a slab of cucumber in to look less like a rampant slcoholic's drink

Letsjog I hope the reminder you've had today isn't too painful for you.

joycedivison mothers ruin!! But tbf I think cucumber is mainly water so it dilutes it.

One mini bottle is very tame, go get that prosecco

Just not a big fan if the bubbles....

I'm half considering some whiskey.
We have Gin but no tonic or ice as the freezer is currently being defrosted.

We also have a bottle of baileys from last Christmas which should have really been binned by now

Well you should definitely eat the cucumber afterwards, no point wasting good gin.

Bet you even Edith Piaf had the odd night like that, OP. Definitely open the prosecco, I'll have a swig if you don't mind

Open the prosecco!!!?

Im on my 3rd glass of wine 🤪 cheers!

I won’t thank myself tomorrow having to go for a 13 mile run at 8am. But hey-ho!!

here too. My boyfriend is spending tomorrow with his ex and son, he informed me last night. He isn't overly thrilled about it, but it is important to him. I know it's his ex and I know they have a son together I don't need anyone to tell me this and I haven't said anything to him, but it still doesn't make me feel great. DD is at her Dad's this weekend, so I'm spending yet another weekend alone. I didn't see him last weekend as he has his kids and I had DD, he was working away all week and is again next week and next weekend he has his kids and I have DD. Just doesn't feel like I'm important or in any way a priority and I know kids come first but surely I could be fitted in somewhere. Haven't said anything as I don't want to be a nag and don't want him to feel obliged to see me - want him to want to see me. Anyway another glass of 🍷 in order. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!!!

A 13 mile run??? 13 yards would finish me off.

Sophie hope everyone is back under your roof and all good tomorrow

It's really hard spending a whole weekend by yourself. Sometimes it feels like a treat, but when it is unwanted or unexpected it can be a real bummer. I've had to cancel two social events this weekend due to illness and if I hadn't gone to the shops today I'd be spending from 5pm on Fri to 9am on Sunday on me todd.

On the plus side I do have a good book to finish and can have a lie-in tomorrow, unlike some crazy people running at 8am

@Ithinkwerealonenowtiffany 13 mile run ?!

The only running I do is after my toddler if I ever make the mistake of letting him out of the pushchair thinking this time he will listen and not try to leg it then laugh and speed up when he sees I'm chasing after him to stop him running into people/hard objects/the road/away from me.

Had some prossecco. Not sweet enough for me.
You're welcome to it @MargotMoon

I'm sat in the living room with my dh who's being a dick, googling houses I could live in my own in, with a g&t. Also baileys doesn't go off that quickly - get it down yer!

Baileys will be fine if it's not been opened OP, I'll raise my Gallo Grenache with you! Happy sod it saturday folks

Happy feeling shit Saturday everyone! My washing machine has also just conked out so I am tremendously happy!!!!

Raise my glass of Prosecco to you have a good wallow and hope you’re ok. Just switched over to La La Land on the t v what’s that all about??

I love lala land (apart from a few boring bits in it) frothy brain donor telly

Well im up and changed it to a 7 mile run. Went out at 6:40.

Wine is 🤮
