Need to adhere to guidelines this time though.

Big hugs @glotterbug, I’ve got those worries as well. I’m sure it’ll all be ok, just try and stay away from the dementors

Cookie79 · 27/06/2020 17:09

Feeling much better after yesterday’s encounter with gloomy dementors and my wobble. Great day. Got a hair appointment for me and DD booked in, went shopping (do I get triple murder points for going to a new River Island store on the day it opened?), mooched round a few shops with DD looking for sandals. Had a nice walk this afternoon and.... re-booked our Cat Cafe booking that we had to postpone from Mother’s Day - cannot wait. Now making tea with a rather lovely glass of rose wine. (Pork steaks, patatas bravas and salad).

Hugs glotterbug

I'm thinking about a beer to see if a hair of the dog will help my torpor.

I'm not even that hungover. It's just so rainy and I can't be arsed doing anything, so I'm basically performing a bad hangover so I have something to do. Hmm

On way. 🏃‍♀️

Oh fuck it, let's all have a glass of wine. I realise this might be the top of a slippery slope, but I'll deal with that I know that's what they all say

I just bought some jeans from Top Shop. Top Shop FFS. I'm 45 years old. Who do I think I am?

That does sound epic. I've been trying to be good with the booze but lockdown has sorely tested me!
torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 17:18

My hangover is so bad I still feel like puking. Our dishwasher has broken 😭 I’m considering making a margarita.

The 7 day rolling average cases is below 1000 for the first time forever. Germany had about 700 cases today I think. They are more populous but we’re testing at much higher rates. Sigh. The dementors will lose their shit when we start having the inevitable outbreaks like that.

I like Top Shop jeans.

But then I am only 44.

BTW I am still upset with you over that whole slug thing up there. My poor mind. 🤢

Glass of wine then riot at 6.30pm?

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 27/06/2020 17:24

As if I’ve not already had to give up 91(?) days of my life to be the centre of my children’s world - I didn’t have the heart to say no when my eldest spotted my “posh” pizza. 😭 fuck this. Wine it is.

cattermole some wanker will have reported him to the police/manager and he’ll face a disciplinary. Word got to my ear this week of a bank employee being reported to the bank for socialising... tbf apparently she’s full-on dementor in the back “STEP BACK OVER THE LINE MRS CATTERMOLE. THIS A 2-metre SAFE ZONE”.

hester Carrie is wearing ambition-tinted glasses. Young and ambitious enough to think she’s won wrangling a powerful man away from another woman - and has/d her eyes set on global domination. Reality is biting at her heels by now I’m sure. I knew I’d lost those glasses somewhere...

Hell, why not? In for a penny, in for a pound!

I haven't bought Top Shop jeans for years. But then I was looking at the website and their sizing is so sensible compared to some (I'm looking at you Gap), and they were on offer so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 17:25

96 days.

HesterShaw1 · 27/06/2020 17:27

Sorry about the leucistic sweaty slug comparison Nihil. It just seemed so apt

glotterbug · 27/06/2020 17:27

Thanks all! I've rallied now I've vented. Wine is poured and I'm ready to riot!

Cattermole · 27/06/2020 17:28

Wine it is.
@InsaneInTheViralMembrane they can get to fuck. Mrs Mole is four foot eleven and a recovering alcoholic. She's hard. I imagine anyone grasses her new bit of stray and she'll glass the buggers in the car park... or run them over with her walker.
Most fun she's had in years!

HesterShaw1 · 27/06/2020 17:28

Good theme for the next thread?

ADs predict wine and rioting by 6.30pm.

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 27/06/2020 17:30

I’ll join the wine and the riot. Nice glass of white Rioja here.

@HesterShaw1

The thought of being young and being in the throes of romance to Boris just made me heave a little. He's like a slug with insufficient pigmentation issues.

What do we call that in the natural world? Oh yes, leucism. a leucistic sweaty slug.

Thanks for that image, slugs give me the heebie jeebies at the best of times, but a sweaty Boris slug .
InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 27/06/2020 17:32

When I was 18 and fluffed my a-levels I wound up working in Tesco. If I’d been doing extra shifts to cover - and told I wasn’t allowed to socialise - I bloody would be rioting!

96? Ugh. I early-dementored and took them out of school a week early too.

Cookie79 · 27/06/2020 17:32

I can only riot until 9pm as there’s something on the telly I want to watch.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 27/06/2020 17:35

I’m drinking virgin wine’s “black pig”. 24hr delivery - it’s Scotland’s version of Uber.

BarkandCheese · 27/06/2020 17:38

I’m not rioting if it’s raining. Actually a crap summer weather wise is probably the one thing which would prevent rioting. People riot when it’s hot.

PickAChew · 27/06/2020 17:41

I had a liitle white rioja left and have poured it All into a spag bol. It's either a walk to the coop in the rain with freshly washed hair or a cup of herbal tea, for me.

KaronAVyrus · 27/06/2020 17:42

Speaking of slugs and dishwashers I once found a slug in my dishwasher 🤮🤮🤮

Cracking open the wine. I’ve held off all week after finding out I’m being unfurloughed and that my job is safe.

Can’t be arsed to riot. I prefer a strongly worded letter to whoever is pissing me off.
