I've just found a bottle hiding in my kitchen.

It looks quite lonely.

I'm sure I can think of something to celebrate if I try hard enough... Grin

Your very good friend TakeMeDrunk has found out she got the job she wanted today so pop that cork and celebrate!

LeoTheLateBloomer · 07/07/2011 12:34

Oooh! Well done you...

Say no more, I will drink to your success this evening Wink

Cheers!

IslaValargeone · 07/07/2011 12:37

We just got our accounts in and we are in the black rather than the red, WOOHOO! drink up!

And don't forget to have an extra glass on my behalf, because at 38 weeks I can't drink :( so I must live vicariously through you ;)

LolaRennt · 07/07/2011 12:56

You found a bottle of champagne? They don't get forgotten in my house!

What time zone are you in, Leo? The sun is nowhere near the yardarm here in London. Envy

LeoTheLateBloomer · 07/07/2011 13:07

Time zone normally wouldn't stop me Manatee but XH is coming to see DD later. If he finds me half cut I suspect he might have something to say about it!

It's my sister's birthday. There you go!

LeoTheLateBloomer · 07/07/2011 13:39

Ok so let's see...

A glass for TakeMeDrunk, one for Isla (well done btw), a sympathy glass for Tigger and a birthday drink for motherinferior's sister.

Not bad. How many glasses can I squeeze out of a bottle?

Not at all! DH and I drank a bottle of cheap cava yesterday, just because I bought it to have with some friends and ended up not drinking it, so we thought 'what the heck -it's a Wednesday!'.

Did have a slight headache this morning though....

TrinIsASadSpottyFatRhino · 07/07/2011 13:42

I found a fiver and half a packet of fags in the pocket of a coat I haven't worn for ages this morning

so you can celebrate for me too Grin

TrinIsASadSpottyFatRhino · 07/07/2011 13:45

I'm loving the idea that its looking lonely

maybe I could convince myself that the pringles look lonely and actually want to be eaten Grin

ShellyBoobs · 07/07/2011 14:39

I thought champagne had to always be kept in pairs (a la guinea pigs)?

Hence, if you find a lone bottle, it's always kinder to consume it forthwith. Grin

ShellyBoobs · 07/07/2011 14:43

Actually, there's half a bottle of Gallo white grenache in my fridge. I'm sure I read somewhere that you should never leave part of a bottle of that?

Did I? Did I read that somewhere? I'm sure I did. I can't drink it now in a tall glass with loads of ice though, can I? Hmm

(Damn working from home and having free access to snacks and drinks all day grrrr.)

LeoTheLateBloomer · 07/07/2011 20:18

Fuck it. I'm going to drink to the fact that I'm no longer married to 'that' man. That definitely requires a whole bottle Grin
