I'm opening a bottle of prosecco. Who's joining me?

I think it's a decent enough time to open a bottle. The weekend is officially upon us.

Of course, I'm on furlough so the days are all blending into one right now but I'm trying to keep a bit of a routine going!

Cheers all. Wine

Oh go on then!🍾

redwoodmazza · 17/04/2020 15:01

Every evening at 18:30! Cheers!

ukgift2016 · 17/04/2020 15:05

I been debating having a drink at 3pm! Your thread giving me the go ahead to have one now 😁

MrsMigginsPie · 17/04/2020 15:05

Lol! I texted my bestie yesterday at 4:30pm to moan. By 4:31pm we both had a lovely cold glass of wine and put the world to rights (ie complained, swore and laughed). Felt epic! Crack on OP! It’s good for the soul!

scattercushion17 · 17/04/2020 15:09

Lol. Will definitely join in later.

Not sure if this is allowed but Highclere Castle are doing a fb live gin at 9pm if anyone wants company.

WickedlyPetite · 17/04/2020 15:12

Bit early for me - I'd like to make it till 5pm today.

I'm thinking I'm going to end up coming out of this lockdown with a drink problem.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 17/04/2020 15:15

Cheers all! Some of you are exhibiting better willpower than me Grin

Waiting1987 · 17/04/2020 15:25

Waiting until 6pm and then it'll be prosecco or gin. Wine

Tempted to start earlier since it's so sunny.

CCaK · 17/04/2020 15:41

I log off from wfh in 19 minutes. Bottle is in the fridge ready.

Neeentay · 17/04/2020 15:54

I‘ve been wondering for the past hour if it’s too early to have a glass of something fizzy! Unfortunately I am alone with a demon 3 year old and a 7 month old so it will have to wait!

pilates · 17/04/2020 16:00

I like to stretch it out to 5pm but cheers 🍷

TobyeBella · 17/04/2020 16:11

I'm tempted today to have a glass of wine when DS has his tea at 5pm, it's felt a bit relentless today!

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 17/04/2020 16:15

DH is just making us a G&T to drink in the last bit of the sun before the bastard tree in the garden behind us steals the sun!

DS is on his tablet in the lounge. Was going to tell him it was time to come off it as he’s been on a while........but might leave him a bit longer so we can enjoy the drinks in peace Grin

thethoughtfox · 17/04/2020 16:17

My child asked for a smoothie so I made one for me too: Zinfandel, frozen berries and crushed ice. Happy Weekend!

Iamblossom · 17/04/2020 16:24

I only don't have a drink yet because I had two work calls put in between 3 and 5. As soon as this one is done I am definitely having a large glass of white wine.

Deathraystare · 17/04/2020 16:39

I'd best not. I quite like prosecco but not white wine in general. I got some for a mushroom risotto i was making and drank the rest (small tin, not whole bottle!) my room gets very hot with full sun on it and I sweated so much I needed another shower!

Would have loved a cocktail though!

tiredanddangerous · 17/04/2020 16:41

I’m making myself wait til 6 but then I shall be joining you.

backinaminute · 17/04/2020 17:04

I'm in, just had a crappy work call for a Friday afternoon so cracked it open early - cheers!!

winterinmadeira · 17/04/2020 17:07

In in too! Wine o clock here I come

mbosnz · 17/04/2020 17:08

I'm in, I like to have a wine to hand for Misery Hour - I mean the Downing Street Briefing. . .

Happy Friday everybody - I've got a nice glass of Jules Taylor Sav' Blanc chilled and to hand! Wine

Hedgehog26 · 17/04/2020 17:09

I bought a bottle of rum for the weekend with my shop and forgot to get coke to go with it Sad

bloodyhellsbellsx · 17/04/2020 17:10

I’ve just been thinking is it time to open the wine or is it too early and this thread has helped me make my decision...cheers 🥂

Jane10000000 · 17/04/2020 17:11

Cheers 🥂 I am not on-call this weekend after many weekends of first or second on call 🍾
