It's Tuesday afternoon and I've just had 3 pints in a beer garden!

Cheers! 🍻

Took the day off work, for the first time this year, got my hair highlighted this morning, then took my kindle to the beer garden and had 3 lovely pints. It's cold and grey but I didn't give a shit.

I am missing the point entirely here, OP, but did you just ring in and say you weren't coming in/sick or something? You say for the first time this year, do you do that occasionally throughout the year?
Not bashing you, just amazed at your pluck! I am a wibbling wreck if I have to ring into work, even when a parent died I felt guilty. I'm a nurse and always feel like I'm letting everyone down if I don't come in. I'd also be terrified someone would see me in the beer garden and rat on me...Grin
Won't they notice you had your hair done?!
To talk about your actual point though, hurrah that things are finally opening up! I'll drink to that (clink).

Maybe OP had booked the day off?

Sounds like a bloody good Tuesday OP! Cheers 🍻

Boscoforever I'm presuming the OP means she took a days holiday.

It wouldn't be unusual for someone to not have taken a days holiday this last year with the shitstorm we've had!

WilsonMilson · 27/04/2021 18:02

Lovely, cheers! After the year we’ve all had, we all deserve a day like that.

Livpool · 27/04/2021 18:02

Swap it for wine and it sounds perfect Smile

Boscoforever · 27/04/2021 18:10

Ah, ok. We have to book most of our leave quite far in advance, we booked on Sept 20, for leave from April21-April 22, for example.

x2boys · 27/04/2021 18:11

Lovely but this being Mumsnet ,there maybe many replies that you are a raging alcoholic!

Stichintime · 27/04/2021 18:12

Sounds like my kind of Tuesday.

NothingIsWrong · 27/04/2021 18:15

I occasionally just book a random day off if I've got leave to use up and that sounds amazing

Honeypup · 27/04/2021 18:16

Love this! Hope you enjoyed it, but of
Self care do you the world of good 👌🏻

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 27/04/2021 18:17

Sounds like a great Tuesday!! I also took today off (booked on advance I may add!) And had a nice lunch out!

FiveGs · 27/04/2021 18:37

What a fabulous idea! Hope you had a nice time OP Smile
