I'm on the Gin 🍸

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 21:13

And before anyone says anything, I am feeling a bit hyped from the lounge disco me and kids had earlier, they even excused my mum dancing! I did the full Peter Kay "Mum at a wedding" impression, which they hadnt seen and put it down to me being old and embarrassing, they humoured me though which was nice!

Classy @LaurieFairyCake

You're too posh for me, I've only got half a packet of custard creams and some value ready salted.....

I’ve had wine and a few beers and yes I no longer give a shit, my waistline however...

spinthebottle · 17/04/2020 21:17

As for crisps I have some sensations in the cupboard (are they essential?)

BasilDiffuser · 17/04/2020 21:20

I honestly can see why people become alcoholics. I’ve tried to keep my drinking for Friday and Saturday but when I’ve had a few and I don’t feel frightened I want to keep that feeling forever.
Enjoy your tipple everyone.

I had a canned one of these recently and it was yum but I fancy a proper one. Did you make your own and if so how?

CrowCat · 17/04/2020 21:21

Parma violet gin with fentimans rose lemonade Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 17/04/2020 21:22

I'm about to hit these insanely strong Wasabi Peas too

Weirdly, from Harvey Nichols via Ocado Confused

I am so not posh, no idea wtf possessed me

joystir59 · 17/04/2020 21:23

3/4 bottle White Grenache here. Wondering what the new 'normal' will be? Don't care right now Grin

spinthebottle · 17/04/2020 21:24

Ooooh are they nice @LaurieFairyCake

Seabrooks Crinkle Cut crisps here

terkwoys · 17/04/2020 21:25

I'm on the Baileys chocolates.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 17/04/2020 21:26

Espresso Martini you say? Do you have a recipe? Just out of idle interest you understand. (I'm having Spanish strawberry gin with Fevertree tonic at the moment.)

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 17/04/2020 21:29

Sauvignon blanc and pickled onion monster munch.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 17/04/2020 21:32

Cabernet Merlot and left-over Easter chocolate.

Today I got back from 1h 45m odyssey at Sainsbury's to discover that my 2yo had had a poo so enormous it had pulled her leggings down so she had poo smeared from her crotch to her ankles. Whilst I was donning PPE getting ready to change her, she whipped out an open bottle of mixture from somewhere (where? how??) and poured it into the poo mess, so it was then gloopy bubbly poo.

It took most of half an hour to clean it all up including her, her change mat, the clothes, the floor, all the surfaces....

There is not enough alcohol in the whole fucking world.

Mind, Sainsbury's was worse.

Tonz · 17/04/2020 21:33

I don't know what an Espresso Martini is but I really want one. I asked dh to get me a glass of wine and he's handed me it in a mini eggs Easter egg mug

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 17/04/2020 21:33

*open bottle of bubble mixture

spinthebottle · 17/04/2020 21:34

@Johnny

Oh my word drink the whole bottle you absolutely deserve it GrinWine

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 21:34

@Tonz

Really? Thats odd because I am sure you are doing lockdown at my place, what with us being old friends. So when the police find the body, they will know it couldnt possibly have been you that choked him with mini eggs and shoved up a mug up the arse of his still twitching corpse.....
