Welcome!
I have no friends, my family hate me and I am a drunk!
I have decided to spend the evening with a chilled Chenin blanc, some oatcakes and jarlsburg and anyone lovely enough to join me.
Criteria for entry: you must have a miserable life too. No joy allowed.

Bugger - should’ve name changed before I made nob of myself.
Auto - correct just corrected nob to snob. That’s got to be significant...

Wish I could order pizza. Live out in the sticks so no one will deliver here.

Is it early for vodka? I don't think so.

Do we need music?
Now , normally i can't abide children singing - or children tbh - but here's the one exception

OverTheRainbow88 · 09/04/2021 18:04

No pizza delivery= every right to be miserable forever

TiredoutMum93 · 09/04/2021 18:05

I will be your friend!

Oh that's horrid.

Been there and it's a hard life lesson but it does get easier.

If you're the one who walks away it gives you back some pride too!

I'll join.

Autistic ds is quite unsettled this week so whilst it's holidays it's not relaxing!

He's back to swimming next week so I'm hoping it'll cheer him up!

And I'm on a diet so can't even drown my sorrows in carbs and crap
