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.

I've been stressed recently, I've just made some ehmm "special" brownies. So I'll chill out with one of those and mellow out

AnnieAnoniMouse · 09/04/2021 18:39

Any smidge of Joy left at home

I'm not yet ready to deal with takeaway (Covid - other people handling my food)
Had a Tesco order today, but nothing 'nice' as I could decide what I wanted to eat this week when the order needed finalised -grrr)

@ButterflyHoneyPot - what are the bastards saying?

@CuckooCuckooClock

I bet you are not horrid!! 🥃

Badgerling · 09/04/2021 18:40

I’ll join

The toddler is being a raging arsehole. Constant wailing and wingeing. Is a delight for DH

DH is pestering for sex

Just found out a close friend is pregnant, and due to family circumstances I can’t have another.

When I was a bit sad, I got the whole logical itemised fucking list from DH why we’re not having anymore

I KNOW all the reasons (see above toddler for one), I don’t need to be fucking preached at about it

More rage than I thought today, pass the whiskey

EasterEggBelly · 09/04/2021 18:41

Just had to check I didn’t write the OP and forgot.

Family hate me, when really they are the arseholes (obvs). Friends avoid going out for a drink with me because I so rarely get to do anything for myself that on the occasions I do, I end up shitfaced and dancing by myself in a shithole somewhere.

Can’t do anything in moderation or seem to have the motivation to finish anything I start. And I launched my own business in Jan 2020, which got closed during lockdown 1, lockdown 2 and is, you guessed it, closed again and has been since December. Making me the default SAHP.
So now my life revolves around making food for everyone else 3 times a day. Tidying up after everyone else. And taking full responsibility for the drudge that comes with being alive.

Cheers.

Is this going to be a weekly thing? Just poured myself a shotGrin

Oh I wish I could share!!!

I used to live overseas somewhere that certain ingredients were grown by friends & never in short supply!

Then living in England I used to share with a neighbour with contacts, but that's no longer an option.

I'm too worried about 'county lines' to buy from local Yoofs .... bit of a loss how to get any these days and apart from relaxing, it genuinely helps with a couple of underlying health issues.

crochetmonkey74 · 09/04/2021 18:46

Nooooo brownies deserve a black coffee... come on.

Chocobudbrownies · 09/04/2021 18:52

@AnnieAnoniMouse and @sugarlost you'd be more than welcome, im currently wondering if I should make some butter cream for on top once they've called down Hmm

sophmum31 · 09/04/2021 18:52

Can I come to your pity party please?

Divorce mediation failed meaning I've spent thousands trying to break free but am still trapped and may be for a whole year. Broken my toe so can't even get out for a walk. All friends are in happy relationships so evenings are very lonely. Can't even drink yet as I have to provide lift to teenager. And I have to have my coil changed tomorrow 🥳. Ffs.

JoyOrbison · 09/04/2021 18:53

I need to come back to. Tjis later. My day has been toped by my dh suggesting I maybe need counselling

Fucking brilliant.

Flamingosarentreal · 09/04/2021 18:53

Today my colleague got to take credit for a project I have spent four years working on and it only went well today because of the hard work I have put in. Joining in with a large gin and some chocolate.

Alfiemoon1 · 09/04/2021 18:57

Can I join you but not drink. About to order kfc though as i can’t be bothered cooking
Not drinking as it was becoming to much of a habit. My pity party is my daughter has moved in with her controlling knobhead of a boyfriend and hates me no matter what I say to her even if it’s not related to him she turns it against me i could say that grass is green and she would argue it wasn’t and that I am just being nasty trying to tell her it’s green lol

PoutineQueen · 09/04/2021 19:01

I'll join, I've put on 2 stone which I'm not keen to display post lockdown, I've just had a whole block of halloumi as part of my dinner, and I'm on my 4th beer.

That has me so jealous
nailsathome · 09/04/2021 19:09

I'll join. All of my kids are moaning, whiney arseholes at the moment and I've run out of gin.

UnsolicitedDickPic · 09/04/2021 19:09

I'll join if I may. Lockdown has triggered DPs longstanding anxiety/depression; he's fucked off somewhere on his bike for the evening because apparently he's 14 and one of the fucking Goonies instead of nearly 41 and a father of two.

DD has been poorly all week, bored as fuck but luckily has just discovered the skin tag on my inner thigh so has been grabbing it all afternoon. Stuck in the house since Sunday.

I'm fat, my career is frustrated, and my in-laws turned up when I was in my old maternity pjs with unshaven legs, expecting to come in even though their arsehole son isn't here and we're still in fucking lockdown.

Oh, and NO WINE. WineSad

Bimini · 09/04/2021 19:10

I want a space cake! Or any kind of cake actually. I’m going on a hen weekend in the autumn and just once, I don’t want to be the fattest person in the room. I’ve lost a stone with diet milkshakes and I’m hungry and furious. But it’s working. One stone to go! Feeling very sorry for myself but I know my “problems” pale in comparison to some I’ve read on here. To solidarity! 🍷 🍷 🍷

OurChristmasMiracle · 09/04/2021 19:14

Home all alone. No family. No kids. About 4 real friends.

My weekend has been gate crashed by people I know I couldn’t call if I needed them needing me to do things for them and I had planned to rest and meal plan for gyms reopening next week!!

momager1 · 09/04/2021 19:14

can I join in.. i am in canada and I own a fucking restaurant and we just went in to our third lockdown. I am trying to keep 22 people employed, My poor husband told me two years ago that I should not buy the place...retire he said...enjoy life he said..(he has an awesome job) nope. I took a fortune out of our retirement savings to buy this place. He works so hard at his job and then he also fixes everything that goes wrong with any equipment here (last night..door broke. he was here to 2 am fixing it...up for his job at 6 am for 12 hour shift) We could not have predicted Covid. Worst is that we are arguing more than ever, I work at the restaurant and come home...we deal with all the admin stuff.. we try to figure out how to survive without getting into our personal income and investments... and we FIGHT ... like never before! we both had a come to jesus moment last night and love each other and will get thru this together...but GOD DAMN IT...some one pass me the PINOT GRIGO..or Chardonay.. PRONTO. (god that was cathartic)

MrsHastingslikethebattle · 09/04/2021 19:14

My friends are falling out with me over being bridesmaids, my best friend may have skin cancer, I ran some one over on purpose the other day and I hate every fucker.

I'll have a double apple vodka and a side of prosecco please.

ButterflyHoneyPot · 09/04/2021 19:18

Got both scotch and bourbon, prefer the scotch myself but happy to share. For those that have had a generally shit life so far, you’re not alone. Tbh kind of comforting to know I’m not alone too.

So three cheers for shitiness WineGin
