That's it. I'm in Dubai so feel free to have a pop. I'm feeling very unfashionable in my diamanté fit flops - everyone is wearing what looks like Hermes sliders and pyjamas!

I too am on holiday eating birthday cake and fizz for breakfast in bed. Enjoy!

Ooh lovely, I don't or can't drink that because it gives me terrible heartburn, I do envy that you are away and enjoying life and I hope the weather is good after the awful floods they had.

EmpressOfTheThread · 04/05/2024 09:16

Going down to breakfast in jammies? Not good.
You can get versions of those sliders very, very cheaply, so don't feel bad!
Have what you want for breakfast. King Edward VII had lobster. Go for it.

you know what Wendy i sneaked two of dh lanzoprazole so am hoping that will stave off the burn!!! 😂 it did rain here a couple of days ago but not as bad as the first time thankfully. There are a lot of mosquitoes which apparently is rare but due to the standing water after the floods

Going to breakfast at a hotel in pj's is very sad, tacky actually. Get showered and dressed, there's signs in hotels in Spain reminding people of this

Enjoy! The mention of Prosecco gives me heartburn but I'd happily partake in a rose or a cocktail with you.

Haha well @mitogoshi it's pj style - linen flowy shorts and shirts

as for the shower well we are in Dubai we don't shower we have people come and scrape us off 😂

Have you eaten your body weight in houmous yet? 😋

EthnoBotanist · 04/05/2024 09:24

Enjoy! I wish I had an excuse to have a prosecco for breakfast.

I don’t envy you being in Dubai though. You could be somewhere really classy and beautiful. Instead you are somewhere fake and vulgar.

@choppolata i have found a love of beetroot hummus! And lebaneh and salad for breakfast - i tried kimchi this morning and also a cabbage and mushroom salad. I did also try a pickled lemon but the taste was so bad that's what started me on the Prosecco which led me here. Good or bad? Only time will tell 😂 dh played it safe with wellness toast which is just avocado and poached eggs

I’d prefer Prosecco in the rain to tea and crumpets in the rain, enjoy op

@EthnoBotanist I don't know - it doesn't seem vulgar here at all. Although there are a lot of big lips. What would you consider vulgar? It's just a luxury resort same as any other!

Well see @Lollypop701 I have never had Prosecco for breakfast before and I'm not sure it would be the same in the rain. I do love tea and crumpets though! Rain or shine 😀

If you're in Dubai then it's past breakfast time... You're making it sound like it's currently breakfast time...

@Mademetoxic instarted with Prosecco at breakfast I didn't say I'd finished

There have been terrible floods, has that impacted your holiday? Careful with mosquitos.

Hopskiplou · 04/05/2024 09:34

Enjoy! Grey skies here - am wondering if it’d be too much to open a bottle myself 🤣

@EmpressOfTheThread the floods were bad the week I think before we came - it rained a couple of days ago as well but it wasn't as bad apparently. The mosquitoes are bad I think it's due to the standing water leftover - luckily I bought some spray but have still been bitten. I'm more annoyed I can't use my new handbag because of the bug spray grease!!!

@Hopskiplou well now I'm converted and have said once a month this is what I'm doing. It's a different buzz to night drinking!

No! Shame. Keep up with the spray though. The bites are awful.

Will you be going pissed-shopping for a pair of Hermes sliders today?

PhuckyNell · 04/05/2024 10:04

Yes @EmpressOfTheThread they are! I said to my dh I might have dengue fever. He was 🙄

@Mamette they look nice don't get me wrong but dune do a dupe (loupe) I might get some of those. I am seeing a whole lot of heavier style sandals at night as well - I think I've seen like theee pairs of heels which is great for me and I think women in general. The pyjama style beach wear no chance I would look like a ship in sail. Pissed? Of course! But not to the mall no I get in enough trouble drink Amazonning at home 😂 im off to the mall on Monday so ill be back to show purchases if anyone would be interested!
