As in, having had a drink or more? DH has cooked jacket potatoes and opened a bottle of fizz, mixed it up with orange juice. Also did some vodka with orange juice Grin He's now in front of the TV and I'm still in the kitchen eating and feeling very tipsy 🥂

Cheers 🥂

One large gin & tonic down, some red wine to go. I’m with you OP. In between I need to chivvy the kids to bed. without saying the words “ My wine is waiting”.

Red wine for me! There's just something about having a drink (or several!) on a Friday night isn't there

decorativecushions · 22/11/2024 20:44

Me and DH aren't pissed, but we've had a glass of wine whilst watching Malcolm in the Middle. I've also had a hot chocolate and a bowl of shreddies.

Our 6 month old is asleep and we are celebrating that she's finally started sleeping slightly better, leading to the whole household feeling happier.

Enjoy your evening everyone x

No I'm in the lounge 🥂

WillimNot · 22/11/2024 20:46

I'm surrounded by alcohol but I'm restricted to serving it to other people.

I don't mind, it's nice watching people have fun, many are regulars so regardless of me nursing a bottle of water or a coffee, I'm having a good laugh.

Have fun @Foy19 and everyone else having a drink or not this evening

mamaduckbone · 22/11/2024 20:46

It's ds19's bday so we've been to the pub for a couple, now Dh and I are cooking curry in the kitchen...actually, at present Dh is cooking and I'm drinking posh cider. I think he intends to move on to cherry bourbon and coke with ds shortly, but needs to fry the onions first.
Love love love Friday night - best bit of the weekend IMVHO.

sassyduck · 22/11/2024 20:47

2 big glasses of red and wondering what to have next 😀

I am sitting in our summerhouse with a bottle of wine. I walked out of the house when my wife asked me to help her undo the zip on her fleece as she was feeling cold. I told her she did not have a fleece on and she told me that I am wrong. I decided wine was better company as wine never stays here long enough to develop dementia. I know that when I go back in she will probably not have noticed that I have been away
I just need a break sometimes

So sad, enjoy your wine you deserve it.

@OldJohn That’s heartbreaking. Have one on me.

I'm jealous. Since menopause i can't handle a drink now. My last glass of wine, in a lovely beer garden on holiday, was glorious. But i was out of action the next 24/7. Honestly.
So enjoy op, whilst you can Shock

Same, since I turned 40 five years ago and had to give up drinking.
😐

GameOfJones · 22/11/2024 21:02

DH and I have shared a lovely bottle of wine and I've been dancing in the living room! Now eating Minstrels and about to watch I'm a Celebrity. Love celebrating Friday night at home!

Brace yourself for people coming on and suggesting you join AA

🤣🤣🤣

Differentstarts · 22/11/2024 21:07

Kids in bed, watching a terrible Christmas movie with my partner. Drinking wine and where eating from a tub of roses that where for Christmas. Cheers 🥂

Titsywoo · 22/11/2024 21:11

I'm on my 3rd vodka and coke. In the kitchen as we have a sofa and TV in here. Watching TV with DD who is back from uni for the weekend.

IAmNeverThePerson · 22/11/2024 21:17

No because MIL didn’t read the label. But am drinking some surprising acceptable alcohol free fizz…

Mistletoewench · 22/11/2024 21:18

Me ! Had a long stressful week at work 3 glasses of wine in and now snuggling on the sofa watching Im a Celebrity!
cheers everyone!

Thanks,
If things go on like the last week she will be almost "normal" tomorrow and we will enjoy a nice day together. Wine certainly helps I'm carful not to overdo the wine

CuppaWhiteTea · 22/11/2024 21:30

Hope tomorrow is a much better day @OldJohn . You sound like a lovely husband. Do you have some support from your family or any other help. I hope so x

My daughter is really helpful.
My wife might be annoying but it does not stop me loving her or thinking that she is the most wonderful and beautiful girl in the world

Some people can still handle drink when I'm menopause

LL1991 · 22/11/2024 21:57

Enjoy it! I'm 22 weeks preg and wish I could get pissed and enjoy a jacket potato. I'm stuck eating the same salad over and over as literally anything else sounds horrid to me or makes me ill! Already got my bottle of Veuve in the fridge for next March! Cheers!

My heart goes out to you. Everyone should be loved this much.

Finished the wine and onto the gin, listening to some 1989 Hip hop.
