I know it's only 6pm, but the kids are at their dads, DS1 (13) is on the xbox and I'm wrapping g Christmas presents with a baileys. It's salted caramel and there's a good chance I'm going ti finish the bottle as its amazing.

Is it not sickly?!!

I have the wine. A lovely Malbec. Sadly I also have the baby so it won’t be a late one. But bloody Christ I missed wine!

WheelieBinPrincess · 20/11/2021 18:10

I don’t mean ‘sadly I have the baby’ how it sounds! I love the baby, he looks like a slightly grumpy potato. Definitely going to enjoy a wine or two though.

To any Pearl clutchers- NO I DO NOT BREASTFEED OR CO SLEEP

Nothing wrong with a few glasses of wine. I'll be opening a bottle soon once the kids are in bed.

I am debating a trip to B&M Bargains for booze and snacks. But it would mean getting dressed.

Am out tonight and won’t be getting drunk as driving, but have fun everyone.

I did drop DS2 at the pub in my dressing gown the other week. It was dark, but it's a slippery slope.
I would definitely end up on my town's FB Spotted page if I went to B&M in my dressing gown. Sad Grin
I wish I lived somewhere with Deliveroo.

thefirstmrsrochester · 20/11/2021 18:19

Unexpectedly I have the house to myself for a couple of hours so I’ve opened a bottle of Sancerre which my wonderful neighbour gave me, also a packed of marshmallow flavour popcorn which I found in one of the DSs rooms. I’m beyond content Wine

Sparklingbrook · 20/11/2021 18:19

I want to try some of Gary Barlow's wine but that's only at Morrisons.

HerRoyalWitchyness · 20/11/2021 18:20

@ThroughThickAndThin01 at least you're being sensible.
@TheLovelinessOfDemons oooh I do like a strongbow
@Sparklingbrook do it Grin actually, can you not get uber eats? They deliver from the corner shops around here.

I’m having my first mulled wine of the season. Last year DH found a really good recipe. Obvs I have said he needs to keep experimenting, eg tweaking the spices, to ensure continued supply, but it’s pretty darned satisfactory. Smile. DH and DD are watching the rugby with some mulled wine and I am idly reading the newspaper supplements. Life is good.

The only shop on Uber Eats is Spar, and they're unavailable. I think I'm going to have to get up and go.

All for the cost of one pound in home bargains, they also stock a gingerbread one, equally delicious @HerRoyalWitchyness

@Sparklingbrook darn it.

Cam2020 · 20/11/2021 18:25

@Sparklingbrook do you have Deliveroo or Uber Eats near you that deliver from petrol stations or convenience stores?!

Just waiting for my DC to go to bed before having a G&T. I'm feeling hot choc with a shot of brandy before bed too this evening.

LittleAtlas · 20/11/2021 18:29

Im on my first glass of wine while DH watches the Liverpool match and DS is watching YouTube. Tea tonight is likely just going to be snacks as we can't be bothered cooking so will hopefully be a chilled evening. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend 😊

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 20/11/2021 18:32

DH has just popped round to get fish and chips at half time @LittleAtlas I suspect your household happier than ours atm...

What goes best with that lovely meal? Gin? Red wine?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 18:32

@HerRoyalWitchyness

I'm only posting because it's you🤣
I have to pick up MrZing later tonight (he's at the rugby game in Twickenham) so I couldn't drink even if I wanted to.
But I might hang around coz I'm bored.

TawnyPippit · 20/11/2021 18:35

I will then be moving on to a homemade chicken curry (which as a bonus was not homemade by me!), more (unmulled) wine and Strictly. Life actually doesn’t get much better!

Ooh, I do hope this turns into a drunk thread. I’ll be shouting about how someone “wuz robbed” in a couple of hours 😊🍷

Sounds lovely! Yeah he's pretty happy but I think he's more happy that he's able to just watch the match without someone disturbing him haha
MrsPnut · 20/11/2021 18:48

I’ve got the wine on the go here, had an M&S beef noodle thing for dinner and am watching strictly.
