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 was doing really well on a non-alcoholic Lent before this kicked off.

Chin chin MN-ers, I detoured via Aldi on my way home to pick up some wine and chocolate. I'm eating and drinking the anxiety away! WineWine

My 5yo has a cold and so we have to isolate all next week, you bet I stuck a bottle of gin in our online shop due Monday

That is an excellent idea. I'm currently low carbing but I'm sure Prosecco has the least carbs Grin

I have eaten cake.

And takeaway Chicken Birhyani(sp?).

And it's been a very good day in other ways, so I'm going with that euphoria and sod everything else, at least for this evening.

Actually, there is champagne in the kitchen. Hm....

Calorie free is even better. I'm the lowest weight I've been since my child was year six. They are now year ten.

ArseholesOnToast · 13/03/2020 18:47

Ah fuck it, I’m cracking open the Easter eggs and pouring a large glass of white. Cheers everyone 🍸🍾🍷🥂

I thinking about breaking Lent. I need chocolate, reasonable?

Wishihadanalgorithm · 13/03/2020 18:59

I’ve had an old fashioned Bacardi and Coke. Bloody lovely.

MillicentMartha · 13/03/2020 19:00

It’s race week in Cheltenham. The town is rammed full of drunk men in suits and cloth caps. I’m getting an expensive takeaway delivered!

YukoandHiro · 13/03/2020 19:01

I'm pregnant - otherwise after the news and the day I've had and my general fear that corona would be fatal for both my mother and husband, I'd be cracking it open with you

Chesntoots · 13/03/2020 19:01

Well I've had my hair done today so if I'm going to be carried off I'm meeting The Big Guy with lovely straight hair and kick-ass undercut! I am also in possession of half a glass of wine (was a full glass up until 15 minutes ago...)

Let's hope there isn't a run on alcohol and chocolates by Mumsnetters or there WILL be riots

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 19:01

Chocolate is always reasonable

Easter egg chocolate and Baileys sounds great.

gardenclubgnome · 13/03/2020 19:01

Rum here. Whilst I lament on my business going under and relatives getting sick. Cheers.

Pomegranatepompom · 13/03/2020 19:02

As an NHS worker, I probably need more fat reserves and booze.
