to have poured myself a Pimm's?

I'd never had any before so I picked some up this morning. I'm home alone with DD, it's a glorious day but as I still have dogs to walk and the lawn to now I can't really sit outside because she's too little for lots of sun. So I've poured myself a lunchtime drink and put some bets on the National. Am I a terrible mother?

Celebration of summer - you have to do it - it might be the only day we get!

Sounds blissful. Wish I could join you

hey, good for you!! Enjoy! Wish I could join you haha!

Am hoping to maybe get a chance to do sometjhing similar later on when my DH is home. My wonderful, fab, fantastic mum and dad are on their way here with a big trampoline for my 2 ds, age 2 and 4.

They've been jumping on my neighbour's and I thought I'd look into getting them one. I'm looking forward to SITTING DOWN while they are bouncing safely!

Have a good day! (am feeling full of the joys of spring!!!)

Gosh no. Glad I bought some for ds3s christening now as I am now going to pour myself one. I blame you

bronze · 09/04/2011 13:04

Right - I have the cucumber, the mint and the strawberries...tonight it is Pimms a'clock. Lovely summery drink and I never drink it the rest of the year! There is fruit in it so it is terribly good for you.

(Who am I kidding?)

MikeRotch · 09/04/2011 13:54

your apostrophe is wrong
and its a shite drink

Mike. It's Pimm's who've got their apostrophe wrong. But thanks

There are few things worse than botched pedantry.

Punkatheart · 09/04/2011 14:02

.....and I didn't even use an apostrophe....is that the literary equivalent of not wearing any knickers?

It's a lovely drink. Excellent for improving mood and the perception of apostrophes. Have more that one and wheeeee, who cares!

EggyAllenPoe · 09/04/2011 14:05

YANBU, we had Pimms last night.

YABu if you haven't got nice lemonad to mix it with though.

grovel · 09/04/2011 14:06

washnomore, nice one!

grovel · 09/04/2011 14:07

Your comment to Mike, I mean. The OP's pretty good too.

And on the subject of apostrophes, you might try inserting one yourself Mike before pointing out imaginary failings in my ability to use the English language correctly :)

NinkyNonker · 09/04/2011 14:16

Hmmm, pimms.

Kallista · 09/04/2011 14:16
