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 waiting in a bloody good Chinese takeaway and there will be G&T.

South Korea holiday not until summer but not looking particularly good.

Luckily I have champagne. And another bottle of pink champagne. And 3 types of Baileys.

In a similar spirit, I let DS raid the sweet aisle the other day. I just thought yeah, fuck it, get what you like. (He was very restrained, only chose 2 packets)

I can't drink but I have snacks and some trashy TV.

GoodStuffAnnie · 13/03/2020 18:33

Just eaten a Chinese and opened my second ale. 🍻 cheers.

The Thick of It is a very funny, very sweaty political drama comedy. I love it!

DefConOne · 13/03/2020 18:36

So sorry to hear about the long awaited holiday. We can all be forgiven for over indulging this weekend.

Bohemond · 13/03/2020 18:37

sarahC40 · 13/03/2020 18:41

Can’t drink until I pick up ds later, but I’ve joined you by eating two aero choc mousses and I feel amazing.

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 18:41

Oh oh I have good news to share! My dc has made the final ten for a huge country wide competition.

Surely it is into polite for all of us to open the fizz to toast my dc?!Grin.

dudsville · 13/03/2020 18:43

I'm currently sitting on hold re a flight, 25 min and counting, by the time they pick up I will probably be sozzled.
