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.

@AcornAutumn

🎤 I was looking for some action But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol🎤

Okay, enough 90s....

No such thing as too much 90s - the best decade!
LadyLolaRuben · 09/04/2021 20:55

Yes never too much 90s!
Did someone put ketchup on kfc? Ffs No one has any taste anymore do they?
I drink my wine from a plastic lidded cup they gave me at work (elf n safety). Can’t risk spillage can you?

Does anyone have a film they can only watch pissed and sad?

Mine is Little Shop of Horrors.

Craftycorvid · 09/04/2021 20:57

May I join? Bringing ☕️ sadly because I can’t drink (actually, I can, a lot, so I stopped...). Tonight’s extravaganza of fun has been leftover take out and, for entertainment, one of those foot peeling masks. I mean, living my best life, everybody! Would love a special brownie except the ‘special’ ingredient makes me paranoid. 😂

Hot drinks are fine. I’d actually really like a cup of tea right now but it’s more effort than pouring wine so I can’t. Hic

@EasterEggBelly Oh God, I've started laughing at myself for being mean but honestly. What is it with men wanting to remain 17 forever? I hope your other half is at least the Josh Brolin senior Goonie - or Mouth, he was cool.

UnsolicitedDickPic · 09/04/2021 21:03

@CuckooCuckooClock That's different - you're on my side, so you're a Good Goonie.

Ta luv dickpic
I do put my hours in I promise but am falling apart at the mo. The poor dc. Still I am saving up for the therapy they will clearly need so I’m not totally reckless.
Have run out of wine and can’t decide whether to climb out of bed for more. My bladder will force me to love eventually so it most probably be a multitasker. Wish I had some of chocos brownies

@UnsolicitedDickPic josh broiling would be a massive improvement. I was actually thinking of the ‘sloth’ character.... Envy

notthemum · 09/04/2021 21:13

Ooh . I'm glad your still here. I'm on my way. I have voddy, beer, crisps and i'll pick up anything on way there. Definitely could do with getting pissed though.

@One2late
Flowers

Will soon be marking a decade since I became disabled and chronically ill. Lockdown and long Covid is a very small taste of what my life has become. For shits and giggles I’ve also now got what must be long Covid symptoms on top.

Just downed a Baileys cos I saw this post. Hardly ever drink.

I am too knackered to party so will dump my pity and go to bed!! But tonight I am PISSED OFF!! I need a kidney transplant, I feel like shit and I am sick of having to be brave and deserving! I feel like I am in one big audition hoping someone might like me enough to want to donate one to me or I spend my time feeling guilty that someone might have to die to save my life. Everyone tells me I am brave but I’m absolutely fucking terrified, I only look brave because you just can’t be terrified all day on the outside or nothing would get done. I would actually like to sit and rock in a corner somewhere. Flowers to everyone having a shit time but also (because I think this is an honest thread either that or everyone is too drunk or stoned to care Grin) I am quite pleased other people are not all deliriously happy because every where I look on Facebook or Instagram everyone is living their #bestlife and I feel like the only arsehole who isn’t! And breathe! That felt really good, thanks OP!

theotherfossilsister · 09/04/2021 21:25

Please can I join?

Have lost no weight despite being sensible and cutting down for a month (yes, I know I need to eat less but food is my joy, and I do so much walking most days, but spent today immobilised by fucking chub rub after wearing a skirt without rights yesterday.

Going through infertility and all my friends are on second and third babies.

To be fair I'm better than I was last summer when my best friend died suddenly and I went crazy. I still have an exaggerated freeze reflex which can be pretty bad though, and walk with a stick because an ambulance siren or car horn will make me fall over otherwise.

babbaloushka · 09/04/2021 21:26

I've a gin and tonic eyeing me.

Mysterian · 09/04/2021 21:28

I've had a very up and down day. Long Covid making me pretty tired all day. X-rays taken. Thrilling cricket match. Feeling lonely. Got given 'left over ticket' at hospital.

Shergill15 · 09/04/2021 21:29

I'll join if I may - relationship issues. Massively overweight but zero time or being totally honest motivation to do anything about it. I'm struggling at work - it was a transfer of role for compassionate grounds so they did me a favour so don't really feel I can turn round and say I hate it! Oh and my six year old won't shut up and go to sleep so I can drink my wine in bloody peace!

UnsolicitedDickPic · 09/04/2021 21:29

@EasterEggBelly I'd settle for Sloth right now. At least he helped them save the day at the end. And he looked pretty cool in a pirate hat.
