Sod it. I'm going back to bed!

It's only 10.45 and so far I've managed to...
Get out of bed and stand barefoot on a toy car.
Come downstairs and trip over the dog.
Drop and break my favourite mug.
Go to the supermarket early because I was expecting a delivery. Came back to a missed delivery card and they will attempt to redeliver tomorrow. I had plans to be out for the day tomorrow and I really wanted the item today.
Unloaded the car thinking I'm superwoman and rather than make a couple of trips to the car, I decided to get all the bags out in one go, resulting in me dropping a bag and smashing a bottle of wine and a dozen eggs on the driveway.
Now I feel that I really ought to go back to bed and stay there until I feel like I can function like a competent adult.
I hope your morning is going better than mine.

Is it too early for wine?

Bed sounds like a good idea.

@PollyAmour wine's on the driveway

You see, I've stayed in bed all morning and not done any of those things. I now feel totally vindicated in my laziness!

Just to be safe I think you should stay in bed the rest of the day and have someone wait on you hand and foot.

That really did make me lol.
My heart broke as much as the wine and the eggs did.
I considered grabbing a straw, but my neighbours would twitch their curtains so hard that they'd probably pull them clean off their poles.

@Cheezecake @TheLongpigs @Unknownunknowns I've laid myself on the sofa after throwing a bucket of water, without disaster may I add, over the wine.
Unfortunately, being red wine, the driveway now looks like a murder scene.
I'm almost tempted to chalk a body outline in it.
Which I suppose it is, being as I murdered the wine and eggs.

Get Deliveroo to bring round a crate bottle of wine and a bag of hot salty chips. Then text me your address and I'll pop round and keep you company - you can't day drink on your own, not on a Friday. We can watch the Wham documentary and cry.

That sounds marvelous. I'll provide the tissues for the documentary ending 😁
