Hard day. I really need it now. AIBU to start drinking G&T's now and not to stop until the bottle is empty?
I am happy to share with whoever needs it too.

Sounds good to me! I'm making risotto for tea which requires a glass of wine...be a shame to not drink the rest as its open...

iago · 15/03/2013 16:54

It would be rude not to.

StuffezLaBouche · 15/03/2013 16:54

No you are not being unreasonable!! Difficult day here too and I fancied gin, but it was gin or petrol, so I had to go with petrol :-) still got a bottle food wine tho! Pour away phosphene!

Flossbert · 15/03/2013 16:55

I am deliberately cooking something for dinner that requires a lot of wine, just so I can be all "oh well, if there's a bottle open I could just have one glass". (Am BFing or it would be a damned sight more than one glass after the afternoon I've had). I intend to utter these words in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

Flossbert · 15/03/2013 16:56

Haha LookMum - great minds!!

YABU to already be one behind me. Chin chin Grin

LadyPessaryPam · 15/03/2013 17:06

StuffezLaBouche please don't drink petrol, it's not good for you.

musickeepsmesane · 15/03/2013 17:10

YANBU, it is a damn fine idea. Great that you are going to share. I can supply lemon slices.

StuffezLaBouche · 15/03/2013 17:16

Haha pam, it might come to that if this bottle vanishes too soon...!

chickydoo · 15/03/2013 17:17

In my fridge I have 3/4 bottle of
Bombay Sapphire 1/2 bottle of Tanquery ; think that's the spelling) and a brand New bottle of Hendricks that was a Mother's Day pressie from DH.
I think I possibly have a Gin issue.Grin
Now which to choose.... I have no cucumber so Hendricks is out. The Bombay Sapphire looks tempting. Have plenty of tonic, ice is in the fridge & I have a lime to slice.
I think I might even use one of my "nice" glasses.
Shall I pour one for you? I have olives & some kettle crisps.

Great. I don't have any lemons and need to improvise with lemon juice.

I can offer some homemade --bought in Waitrose?- apple pie and custard.

I love Kettle chips. Are they the ones with sea salt?

chickydoo · 15/03/2013 17:18

Apple pie & gin....a fine mix!

chickydoo · 15/03/2013 17:20

Phosphene
They are indeed...& 2 large bags of them Grin

lemontwist · 15/03/2013 17:21

I have tonic and lemons but I'm all out of gin and think it may be very necessary after the last couple of days

PoppyWearer · 15/03/2013 17:23

All out of gin here too .

I have tonic and lemons too, if anyone is willing to share? I have a stinking cold and wine just isn't going to cut it tonight, gin would be so much better. Wine

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 15/03/2013 17:25

I have no Gin but have a fridge full of prossecco which I am keen to open. I like cooking with red wine... sometimes I even put some in the food Grin
Difficult day here too and I fancied gin, but it was gin or petrol, so I had to go with petrol :-) bet it didn't taste as good as the gin Smile

Lotkinsgonecurly · 15/03/2013 17:27

I love g&t and hendricks really is my favourite, tastes great with or without cucumber.

dontmixthecolours · 15/03/2013 17:28

My first bottle of Stella is slipping down a treat. It's been a VERY long week.

crushedintherush · 15/03/2013 17:31

Enjoy !! Wine

I'm half way through a glass of rose and I've only been home half an hourGrin

musickeepsmesane · 15/03/2013 18:05

Wandered off to feed the natives. No G or T Sad, lemon finished, glad you could use them phosephene The choice now is a spiced rum or a nice red. Too early for the rum, think the red. Lovely. Cheers
