The news is dire, people around me are panicking, I'm on a zero hour supply teaching contract and schools may be closing

I'm finding solace in champagne and The Thick Of It on Netflix.

Sadly mine isn’t chilled otherwise I’d join you.

Enjoy! :)

I have 2 bottles of prosecco and some creme de cassis....

I have to pick the 12 year old up from netball in an hour, then I’ll be cracking a bottle of prosecco!

I've opened my wine. Bloody enjoy it!

I’ll be opening the wine and ignoring the news this weekend!

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 18:00

Sounds like I'm in good company!

I’m having a glass too, will worry about my liver and muffin top when I know all will be ok in the world. Enjoy x

I still have a bottle of port from Christmas, some Stilton, crackers and a tub of walnuts. I’m ok then.

I'm going to collect my Thai takeaway in a minute and will be opening some fizz as soon as I'm home. Cheers!

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 18:04

I'll be on the Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys next.

@HelloCanYouHearMe

An Italian kir royale..

I may have to chill a bottle of fizz in the freezer. Was saving it for a meet up with friends but it has been cancelled.

It would be a terrible shame to waste good fizz.

I was going to be alcohol free today but champagne sounds like an excellent plan.

Like this thread. Thank you Flowers

Just had smoked salmon on buttery toast.

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 18:11

Sometime it just has to be done.

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 18:11

Maybe with scrambled eggs for breakfast tomorrow?

Yeah, I'm drinking Cava Brut. Don't think I'll get to go on my Spanish holiday at Easter, so consoling myself with Spanish fizz.
