To lick wine off my kitchen floor

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 17/11/2012 20:51

I have gone to the fridge to get my bottle of wine as I'm home alone and too poor to go out..

I then dropped the wine and it has smashed all over the floor

AIBU to lick the wine up in between sobs?

Perhaps you can run it through muslin?

mrskeith you are an inspiration!

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 17/11/2012 21:10

I should be out at the pub doing shots and making a fool of myself but my bank balance just laughed and said not tonight love!

Oh now I feel extra Sad for you. You mopped it up Sad

Stardrops will surely increase the potency, thereby negating the impact of any swallowed glass fragments.

KenLeeeeeee · 17/11/2012 21:12

Depends... if it's naice wine, then YANBU.Just watch out for the bits of broken glass.

Grin Grin Grin Get a straw.

Themobstersknife · 17/11/2012 21:13

If she had mopped it up, she should suck the mop. Simples.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 17/11/2012 21:13

I havent mopped it. I'm looking at it with misty eyes Grin I mopped before the dropping.

I am also a little disappointed that you do not have a back-up bottle......Shock

Lick wine.

Hideously cut tongue on broken glass.

Call ambulance ((bonus gas and air here))

Have them stop at the offy on the way past.

Problem solved, and they won't mind they will but the wine will assuage guilt

Nagoo · 17/11/2012 21:15

yy I'd soak it up and wring it out.

Less chance of laceration.

VerySmallSqueak · 17/11/2012 21:15

tbh if its anything like the last bottle of wine I had,the Stardrops will probably improve it.

threeineachlobe · 17/11/2012 21:16

Oh feel your pain.

I'd challenge that other thread about a rubbish takeaway being the ultimate disappointment if I were you.

You've trumped
(the thread, that is - not as in you've let one go.)

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 17/11/2012 21:17

Where do you live? I am stockpiled as DH in bad books and trying to get a shag back in the good books!

mrskeithrichards · 17/11/2012 21:18

I think running it through a muslin is the best idea yet!

threeineachlobe · 17/11/2012 21:20

Grin softly

lovin your work there.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 17/11/2012 21:21

Why do bad things happen to good people!

Im going to sell a kidney then go on my night out Grin

And most of us have muslin squares - having been advised to get them as an 'baby essential' its finally become clear what for. Shock

HazeltheMcWitch · 17/11/2012 21:21

Put a pop sock over a straw and drink it though that.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 17/11/2012 21:22

You need some sort of sucky up device with a filter on the end.

Do you have straws?
An elastic band?
Some thin muslin type material?

Just dying for a glass of wine and none here, i would have cried if i was you!!

HazeltheMcWitch · 17/11/2012 21:23

pop socks/tights are the filter!

PickledFanjoCat · 17/11/2012 21:23

Fanj! That's awful. Sad

Drink all the sourz then come up with a plan!
