Oh I would be if I wasn't heavily pregnant!

HelloDulling · 17/03/2020 14:30

Same here. There’s a bottle of Champagne in the fridge for some reason, am sorely tempted.

If I didn’t have to do the school run in a bit I’d be right there with you! If we actually have to self isolate I fear I’ll have developed quite a serious drink problem by the time this is all over.

Interested in this thread?

I’ve just poured myself a captain morgans

If I wasn't solely in charge of my small thing, currently 3 months, I'd be right there with you. Its been a truly crap day 1 of social isolation and the prospect of not seeing people other than my husband and aforementioned small thing for the 12 weeks has really begun to hit home and its quite a sombring thought.

Youngatheart00 · 17/03/2020 14:32

That’s the problem with being at home during the day! Very tempted too but have a work call in an hour I need to be sharp for and also don’t want to slip into bad habits!

RachelTension · 17/03/2020 14:34

I'd say go for it, it's 5.30pm here in the ME so you have my permission Grin

Go for it OP. It's 4.36pm where I am, everything is shut down and I've done an hour's gardening so I've earned my glass of rose chateau de cardboard

Yiamas! Wine

fifig87 · 17/03/2020 14:46

AuntieMarys · 17/03/2020 14:46

We went out for dinner last night ( for the last time) and somehow had 2 bottles of Gavi. And a couple of gins.

@FlyFFishingg - like your styleGrin

Waxonwaxoff0 · 17/03/2020 14:52

I feel like drinking every day at the moment! I'm restraining myself though.

PeskyRooks · 17/03/2020 14:52

I could murder a glass of wine now tbf. I'm absolutely kicking myself because for years I've been saying how I'm going to start home brewing and making wine and have never got round to it. Would love to just pop out to the shed now and grab a bottle of super strong dandelion wine!

HiDuggee · 17/03/2020 14:54

Pretend it's summer and go sit in your (pretend beer) garden and have a glass of wine (chilled cider for me) 😎

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 17/03/2020 14:56

It's St Patrick's Day here in Ireland... That gives you the green light (sorry!!) to join us in drinking all day ☘️☘️☘️

HeronLanyon · 17/03/2020 14:56

I had a small glass of cold beer about half an hour ago.
Whilst watching a ‘gourmet makes’ vid from Bon Appétit/you tube. I am extremely excited to see that there are around 30-40 to watch.

HeronLanyon · 17/03/2020 14:57

I should say I am flexi working from home,largely self-employed and in fact went in doing paperwork all day Sunday

Felipa · 17/03/2020 14:58

Well it is St Patrick's day, you won't be the only one, that's for sure!
