All the in laws coming for lunch today and I'm hungover to fuck

[CattingT]

Send help please.

I'm such an idiot. Why did I drink so much gin last night. It was just me and DH in front of the tv.

I have 5 in laws appearing for a roast at 1.30. Cooking meat is making me want to vom.

Face palm.

He's never cooked a roast in his life

Shame he never bothered to learn, what is he feeding his family instead today then?

@gamerchick

Genuinely, what good does this do? It's just fizzy vitamins. I've never understood why people reckon it's good for hangovers

I don't know how it works One during the drinking and one in the morning. Definitely takes the edge off.

Mind you, it was always good for telling who had a hangover when we still worked in the office. You could see the tubes on their desks

I think it’s the minerals, not the vitamins. The alcohol dehydrates you which means that your potassium is low and, because it’s soluble, the Berocca gets it back into your system quite quickly.

I am so glad so many other people advocate hair of the dog! If I’m really hungover and we’re going out somewhere or having people over I’ll say to DP “I feel like death but a glass of fizz will sort me right out” He doesn’t really drink and just looks at me like I’m some sort of alcoholic

His family - dh cooks!

How did hair of the dog go?

I find a rehydration sachet works well for me.

I do like how not being able to cook a roast = starvation 😂

Are you getting through it!? I'd be brazen - sorry everyone, too much gin. Kitchen is over there, food is in oven 😂

@girlmom21

Toby Carvery do takeaway now!

Yeah I'd totally be doing this!!!!

Order a takeaway and pass it off as your cooking. You have my sympathy.

I once got pished with my sister the night before my nephew's wedding at the hotel. OMG, we were bloody ill. She went for the hair of the dog I couldn't keep it down. I volunteered to take the children upstairs early and crawled into bed with a Basin.

Why do we do it to ourselves?

A few years ago I had about 40 people coming for a party. The night before, I met a couple of friends for one or two drinks ONLY because I had loads to do the next day.

Obviously I absolutely did not end up staying out til 3am and getting shitfaced that would have been a truly bad move.

Next time you need to invite them over for something that your DH can can cook. I’ve never understood the obsession with a regular Sunday roast.

Ouch! Was it truly horrific!?

A good roast is a gift from the gods!! Bloody love it!

Have they arrived?

How has the hair of the dog gone down?

Are you going to ‘confess’ to your hangover or just grit your teeth and put on a good performance?

Hopefully the roast and a few glasses of wine, followed by a nap (let’s hope the house guests aren’t loiterers) will sort you out

@OrlandointheWilderness

Ouch! Was it truly horrific!?

Horrendous! It was a Halloween party and I didn't need the mask, put it that way

Have to confess, I did indeed fall face first back into the vino to get me through on that occasion.

Just tell all the in laws the truth that you are somewhat hung over, and they, or some of them, can help with the cooking load.

Three drink rule. It’s the only option.

Three glasses of anything and you’ll be right as rain (not to be used long term!)

Oops. Have to admit I'd go for hair of the dog too.

Or irn bru, if you can get hold of that in the south east (can you tell I'm Scottish)?

At least with Berocca your pee turns fluorescent so you know at least you kidneys are working even if your liver is struggling.

He's mowing the lawn! That's exactly what my DH does when his fussy PILS are coming. Drives me round the bend.

If you are not already in bed sleeping it off, we'd love to hear how you got on!

You need a quarter pounder with cheese meal (full fat coke) to sort this. Along with two pink migraleve tablets. The Muccy d’s will sort out your salt levels and the migraleve has an anti sickness in it. You’ll be feeling fabulous by 5
