I usually have the first a glass at 5pm when cooking dinner

ChristinedePizanne · 14/12/2011 16:51

I'm having one and DS has a friend over to play! Children are so much lower maintenance when they have friends over :o

anneatkins · 14/12/2011 16:52

(it's keeping me warm - as I am here on my own till the Manmeat gets home at half 6, I am being too cheap to put the heating on! It's serving a dual purpose!)

Not at all!

My kids are here and I'm considering a glass, mainly because it will keep me from devouring the box of Heros that are sat to my right!

Cheers! Wine

I'm having one now. Cheers. Xmas Smile

anneatkins · 14/12/2011 16:53

Christine In my (limited) experience of 2 5yo boys and a 4yo girl, kids are lower maintenance when they are at the inlaws and one has glass of wine in hand.

MabelLucyAttwell · 14/12/2011 17:07

I've run out and don't want to drive in the dark. I suppose I can always look at a picture of a glass.

suntansue · 14/12/2011 17:14

I think a glass of wine at 5pm helps me cook the tea better Grin

Ifancyashandy · 14/12/2011 17:16

I've been putting the tree up. Managed to keep off the booze as am hoping to go to the gym at 6.30. But am struggling. Especially as I went for a swim earlier...

If they serve G+T's on respectable SAGA cruises at 4pm, then you're half an hour late. :)

TattyDevine · 14/12/2011 17:19

You are supposed to

a: Wait till 4:45 and
b: Ship them off first? Confused

Somebody better call social services!!!

JackMatthias · 14/12/2011 17:19

Jack I did stick my arm out over the yard and the sun did indeed shine upon it, till it clouded over again, that is.
