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.

Large gin in hand, bottle of rose chilling, perfect Friday night...

Iusedtobeapartygirl, thanks, I'm prone to dry coughs and laryngitis so I'm sure it's just that. Nevertheless I have to follow gov guidelines so self isolating.

Your my kind of people

Wine on the go here 🍷 cheers!

Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys

What it like? Tell, tell!!

I also have wine.

Cheers Music!

@ChardonnaysPetDragon you’d very welcome !

This thread has restored my spirits. I'm genuinely sorry for those who have worries about income and family (I have family concerns but know they're doing what they can to keep safe). But a bit of light tiddly relief on a Friday night will help me keep my shit together so bring it!!!

Bugger.

All we can do is enjoy ourselves while we can.

I'm in, bottoms up

Hello NeilsFavouriteChilli

I know, it must be seriously awful to be facing no income and all the uncertainty.

I'm lucky that my DH will support me, plus we have no mortgage, so my only hardship will be not enough money for manicures

But it's the not knowing and tgd worry about my elderly parents.

Just gotta find something decent to watch and get rid of the DD’s to bed 😂 already got rid of DP for the night 😁

I started my birthday chocolates earlier. If I'm going to die I don't want it to be without having eaten them thanks! Enjoy the champers.

I just having a gnt. Might rub some on my wrists and behind my ears just in case #alcohol

Margaritas and homemade nachos...it's still Friday after all!

I’ve got a lovely glass of Rustenberg John X Merriman red on the go here and Champagne in the fridge for tomorrow. I think we should have a Friday night wine club 🍷 if you need to stock up, Waitrose have got a buy 6 Save 25% off promotion at the moment.

Vino collapsio in solidarity with my Italian friends. It's the right think to do. And The Thick of It is perfect right now. Malcolm Tucker would have this shit sorted out!

I'm not touching the gin.

I'm saving it for hand sanitiser. If you smell gin on the Tube and you see a harassed looking woman rubbing her hands come say hello.

Excellent plan OP, well done. Friday is always fizz night here, but we drank it with particular fervour tonight. If I didn't have an early morning yoga class tomorrow I'd crack open another bottle but I shall cease and desist now. The rest of you can carry on for me

Malcolm Tucker would definitely sort this out!

ChardonnaysPetDragon Nooo gin is far too good for that and should only be for drinking!!
Gets some cheap vodka for hand sanitiser 😂

I get horrible hangovers from gin. It's the gin, not how much I drink of it, of course.

I have just opened a very lovely bottle of Chapel Down, Bacchus - and I drank my first glass with dinner - of fish fingers mash and beans!! Ultimate comfort - I now feel great!!

@ Iusedtobeapartygirl
Thank you , I am just so sick and tired of it all. The cancer has been on going since July .
When they say it’s the elderly and immunosuppressed that might will be affected the most that’s me !
I just want it all over !

Chin chin . More wine !
