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.

A bottle of Lidl cava and there’s a big bottle of gin if I don’t fall asleep

There's was a twitter post that someone was going to self isolate by putting up the Christmas tree and treating it like the days between Christmas and new year...watch lots of films crack open the quality streets and have a vague idea of what day it is...I like that idea.
Glass of wine in hand and indian take away on its way

Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off!

I think that's off In the Loop.
I've had some ales and now for a G&T. Hopefully rhubarb gin.

I was dithering about having one of my Austrian largers. This thread has convinced me.

If only DS would fall asleep...

Good for you OP!

I don't usually have sugar but today I had some clotted cream shortbread and a few after eight bites :)

We made a load of rhubarb and sloe gin and vodka last autumn.

It's like we knew we would need it.

I LOVE the idea of having a mini Christmas! Might bake a fruit cake tomorrow. Thanks for cheering me up everyone. Let’s look after each other.

cheers Gin

A glass of Chardonnay here. It’s my birthday today. Not really feeling like celebrating!!

DuckonaBike · 13/03/2020 20:46

I think my wine must have evaporated! Better pour another glass...

Cheers everyone!

Sunnydaysrock · 13/03/2020 20:51

Going through the calendar earlier to see what will probably be cancelled...bottle and half into the red wine now...fuck it! (But genuinely praying DDs GCSEs won't be affected).

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 20:53

My DH gas gone to bed early, he doesn't feel well.

Is that Covid 19 or a normal winter cold/flu?

He's 54, so not in danger but also not exactly young.

I hate this.

Have a large gin here, going down very nicely! Did a little shop ( little because there's fuck all in the shops 😱) and bought myself the naice cereal with chocolate chunks. If this things going to get me I'm sure as fuck not eating porridge everyday!
