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.

Sometimes nothing else will do! Cheers!

In uber on way to friends house with 2 bottles of red wine 😃

Cheers everyone, glass of Sauvignon blanc here. Love In The Thick of It, very sweary but very funny. DH and DS are asthmatics so bit worried for them. My hands hurt from washing them so much. Cotton gloves and cream at bedtime.

Watching Corrie at least it’s not mentioned on there.

Having some JD and coke!

I've not drunk since Christmas which is very unlike me. I just needed a break. Tonight I have lots of wine going down my neck. On top of this shitfest we're all living, I'm waiting to find out if I have breast cancer on Thursday, my Dad is going to die if he gets this, my ex husband is taking me to court for an order HE broke and my ASD 9 yo DS is struggling with the restrictions we are living under. I'm a single mum and feeling sorry for myself. Cheers everybody! Fuck the lot of it.

Yes me and my husband just popped open a bottle of white. Chilling and watching a box set ha

MrsC

F*!

Well done for managing so much crap. I'm worried about my Dad as he has heart problems and had a stroke recently so I completely sympathize.

I'm worried that 12 months from now I will have lost both parents. But I realize that for the most part I am one of the lucky ones.

Just had a lovely takeaway and have a bottle of wine chilling ready to enjoy when I’ve dropped dd’s boyfriend home
Glad it’s Friday it’s been a long week

I'm going for wine and Richard Armitage boxsets

Cheers! Red wine for me. OP if you like the thick of it, you might also like Veep.

I love Veep?

@TheFormidableMrsC

I remember you from way back when .
We are on the same shitty journey but I am nearly finished . A mastectomy and reconstruction next week and then a matching op on healthy side to follow . It’s been a long hard year but ...
“ “All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
It was true in 1373 and will be true today .

I'm pregnant so no wine and huge anxiety! 😣

DH and I are having G&Ts while our dinner bakes in the oven - casserole of sausages and puy lentils, with some garlic bread and a green salad washed down with a glass of Syrah. We're halfway through The King on Netflix. YOLO.

Dirty martini and Gimlets in my house tonight and the leftover Christmas nuts.

This thread has convinced me to have another glass of wine. Thank you all! And cheers

I’m drinking gin. Making me feel better.

Only way to go on a Friday!!

@Iusedtobeapartygirl May I join? I LOVE The Thick of It!

I am picturing Terri Covelerly 'managing' the press release in her hazmat suit and matching bag.

Opened fizz. Two glasses down cheers everyone!! Good news my Ds has been accepted on a Masters Degree course. He really wanted it and he’s so so pleased.

I can't drink alcohol so I'm on my fourth Coke Zero.
I think I'm addicted but so what.
Also had some mini eggs & choc cornflake cakes earlier.

Mmmmmm

Trumpton and MrsC you are both so inspirational, and remind the rest of us to stop moaning!!

Earlier this year I found out that I have an untreatable, progressive, eye disease. I may or may not lose a lot of my eyesight.

So let's all enjoy our wine while we can!

That’s lovely news lissie, well done! Cheers xx

Hurrah for your D!!
