Sod it, I'm opening some champagne.

[Iusedtobeapartygirl]

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.

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

This is exactly the stance I am taking. I had planned to cut down my wine intake but sod it! If ever having a glass of something was justified it is now! Cheers OP and everyone else :)

I've just done the same thing. Sick of the news. Sick of peoples' plans scuppered. Sick of bad news full stop.
Dh is bringing in a fish supper.

I love the thick of it!

Large glass of wine here. This has been a very stressful week.

Ohhh, you are a genius🥂 I'm pretty sure there's a bottle of prosecco in the fridge waiting for an excuse to be drunk.

This has cheered me up.

Chin,chin!
Bought a Raspberry and Lavender cordial from the Co-op. Lush in a lager but epic in a Vodka and Tonic.

That sounds grand 🥂

Go for it, I think I will hit the gin!!

Sounds like a fantastic plan.

The fact that I am cheering people up a little in these 'interesting times' is making me well up a bit.

Cheers everyone!!

Anyone got any good news to share?

What a great idea. Won’t need to be “beach body ready” 🙄 for a long while as it stands so will join you all and open some nice cold Rioja

Raspberry and lavendar. God thst sounds good

Cheers MN!

Excellent plan im joining you! Chinese and copious amounts of wine are definetly the way to go 😁

Just to amuse you all further...

I had finally (after 15 years of wanting to) booked a holiday to South Korea

Nooooooo! Oh bugger.😧

I've cracked open the gin in your honour OP. Fed up of the misery of speculation and I'm going to enjoy my friday evening. Cheers all!!

I've opened the Malbec.

Dh ran me a bath when I got home from work and has now brought me up a drink to enjoy while I’m in it. Cheers 🥂 (I’m having vodka, I don’t like fizz!)

Oh fuck sake, just seen your update, that’s shit love, you should probably make sure you’ve got a second bottle in reserve!
What were the dates of your proposed visit?

A nice bottle of red and Sex Education once the kids are in bed. Grim week. I work in a hospital (non-clinical but with a large clinical team). Everyone is in edge.

I tried to upload a chink chink glass picture but it's not posting. Glad with hindsite as my ikea glass and penchant for magnolia walls may be outing (dont ask me about my husbands hobby)

You lot are making me

I’ve got wine for later. I’m also on a zero hours contract (and in A&E so not best place to be right now...) but I have pasta, loo roll, wine and chocolate so that’s all good. Tell me more about that Netflix show please, I’m struggling to find something new to get into!

Cheers ... I have beer. Was contemplating ordering champagne to get me through darkest days!
