It's a weekday before 5pm, but it's fucking freezing, work has been a bag of shite, and my washing machine has just packed in.

Cheers all! 😂😭🍸

I had a Vodka a couple of days ago. A very well deserved Vodka. I hope you are feeling better now OP.

Baileys wouldn't cut 8t forme tonight.
Just had cat put to sleep. Am in bits, and also 2 large G and Ts in.

Tonight, you can have as many as you want/need. RIP pussy cat.

I don't need an excuse to drink baileys, bottoms up!!

IWannaKnowWhatHappensNext · 08/12/2022 18:48

Shitty day here too. I was going to have a toffee apple vodka but I might just sulk my way to bed with a hot water bottle and the dog. Really want chocolate but our bloody shopping delivery didn’t turn up! I’m now sitting here thinking of all the goodies in it 😕

Cheers girls 🥂🥂

Raspberry vodka and cherryade, lovely but lethal

The rule is that Baileys is perfectly acceptable in any hot drink (yes including the coffee straight after the school run in the morning) at any time from 1st December. Fill your boots.

This is a rule that i also follow

Baileys goes in the morning coffee now and will do for the rest of the month

This sounds yum

I'm on bottle no.5 in the past two weeks. Blush I drink it like it's pop. Strangely I never drink it any other time of the year though Grin

Whisky and Baileys mixed has a lovely combination of creaminess and warmth.

Now this is music to my ears. I do quite like a single small Baileys but after that it’s just sickly. I’ll try it with an extra slug of Jameson.

@VinoDino if you don't like coffee then it's rank. Tasted it by accident after picking up a bottle in a rush thinking it was the real deal. Angry. Couldn't even take it back as I'd opened it. Whole lot went down the sink! AngryAngryAngry

Good lord, you must have the tolerance of an ox! I'm becoming more of a lightweight by the year.

20 years ago I could drink 10 pints of snakebite then work a full shift in Tesco with other students. Now I can't get out of bed in the morning after 3 glasses of wine.

Has anyone seen 'Tipples' this year? Like those UHT milk pots that you get in cafes. Except they have Baileys, something else and cream in them. Absolutely to die for in coffee. But can't find them anywhere this year!

I've been looking for these too - I can't find them.

Errrrr cost of living crisis, I'll pm you my address in case you make any more mistakes in future.

I LOVE anything coffee.

JerkintheMerkin · 08/12/2022 20:13

@magicalorange I think it's because my body refuses to acknowledge that such divine creaminess could possibly have alcohol in it. Grin

1982mommaof4 · 08/12/2022 20:15

I had one in my coffee at 10am.. also shit day! Cheers

JerkintheMerkin · 08/12/2022 20:15

@userxx apologies for such wastefulness but in my defence this happened last year. I'd have tried to take the opened one back now Grin

juliaissurviving · 08/12/2022 20:15

My kettle has packed in. I have nothing else to drink so wine it is 😂

I LOVE coffee. Anyone else make the same mistake send it to me!

Tobermoryeveryday · 08/12/2022 20:17

Best idea I’ve heard all day!

ImissSclub7 · 08/12/2022 20:22

^I hear you. @magicalorange our machine packed in other week. It's just so annoying.

I'm walking around like the actor Steve Martin doing his characteristic being irritated and angry impression (not everyone will know what I'm talking about but some, that rare few, will do).

Pinkandgreentrousers · 08/12/2022 20:30

I had a sherry

Blueberrycreampie · 09/12/2022 14:09

With this cold weather I'm going to have a mulled wine tonight. Not used to this cold in the SE! 🥶
