I'm drinking far too much out of pure boredom

[CCaK]

I'm sure plenty of you are the same!

We're pretty much ok. We've got plenty of food in, I'm WFH on laptop, DFiancee is furloughed, we've got a garden, small though it is.

But holy fuck I'm bored. I've rewatched The Wire, Breaking Bad, Treme, Men behaving Badly etc etc, almost completed Netflix, finished Tiger King. Doing a daily socially distanced lap of our small village. Done the washing, talked to the cat. I've even fucking cleaned the back door.

Once it hits 4pm all bets are off and I'm invariably opening a beer, or making a "weak" G&T. Repeat until bedtime.

We are v v lucky to be safe and healthy. I know that. I am grateful.

Me too!

Me three

We're not bored, we're stressed out trying to work from home all day with kids. by the time we sit down in the evening we both feel like we have earned a drink. We've gone from only drinking on weekends to pretty much every day.

All my friends are the same....I'm not because I am pregnant but my god I could do with a drink.

Not quite the same sat in the garden with a brew rather than a Pinot :(

Pouring a large glass of wine to watch the daily briefing from Downing St is our new social life.

The recycling bin collection was today and honestly my neighbours (and us) have clearly made it through a fair few bottles. Every single bin sounded full of glass!
But like this meme really

I decided to stop smoking and drinking...I would smoke around 15 a day and drunk every evening...I was fed up feeling sluggish in the morning...it's been four weeks since I stopped and I haven't missed either... and IV saved a shed load of cash too

Yes same but I'm having to be strong to not pour one at 1. It's helping but I like quite expensive wine so is going to get costly

We're doing our 'shop' today and I've said to DH to skip the wine because 'we're really drinking too much, we need to leave it for a while'. Even our teenager has commented that 'every night is Friday night now'.
He hasn't gone yet and I'm already getting twitchy.

I've changed it up by getting Bloody Mary ingredients in my click and collect.

Tomato and celery at least counts as 2 of my 5 a day right?

DH was embarrased he was on the drive yesterday when the recycling lorry came 🤣

Although it's my birthday today and we have finished the fizz 🍾☺
