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've been looking for a new job, was at the point of not being able to afford the mortgage this month if I don't get back in to work.

Just got a full time contract job with Public Health England - pulling in extra resources for the c word. Brilliant! Silver lining etc...

Ok, here it goes.

Cheers.

I have wine and some stockpiled almonds for baking, but fuck baking.

God if I wasn’t pregnant I reckon I’d be doing an emergency wine dash this evening. I’m sick of all this scaremongering and panic.

JollyGiraffe12 · 13/03/2020 19:11

My wine is open too! Go for it OP

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 13/03/2020 19:11

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

Maybe I should apply, fuck knows I have enough of both.

DavetheCat2001 · 13/03/2020 19:12

I'm patiently waiting for 8pm when I can leave to go round to my friends house where we will be partaking in a curry, red wine and a good old moan/gossip session!

We work at the same school so will be good to have a good old bitch..it's been a shitty week!

BretonKitten · 13/03/2020 19:12

Mmm. I have some in the fridge...

Grandmi · 13/03/2020 19:13

LittleSwede · 13/03/2020 19:14

A glass of chilled sauvignon blanc here! Am self isolating as developed a dry cough yesterday, talk about timing! Not feeling too rough with it (yet??) so a glass of wine won't hurt Wine

Just had large gin while I too lament the fate of my business and my staff. Gin was nice.

YouJustDoYou · 13/03/2020 19:18

Husband works in travel industry and I work in education on zero hours contract, can't think about what will happen (especially as dh had been told will prob lose his job), so have gouged on camembert, wine, and am now eyeing the gin. I hear gin is flavoured nicely with tears😭😅😫
