She needsnto drive with someone if she only has a provisiknal licence, surely? Make her walk! Then share the wine

Catsize · 30/08/2013 16:53

E. Get dressed. Go to Tesco. Buy vegetables. Eat nutritious meal. Feed daughter too. Feel better. Smile

SPBisResisting · 30/08/2013 16:53

mistlethrush · 30/08/2013 16:53

a) definitely - and get some chocolate too, it might help to not d).

Charlesroi · 30/08/2013 16:55

No! Don't send DD - she'll get arrested for driving/underage boozing/both (and then you'll have no wine). Bite the bullet, get dressed and go. You won't regret it.

E. go to supermarket in jamas, make self very conspicuous. Go back home and wait to see if there's a judgey thread about you on mn Wink

MillyStar · 30/08/2013 16:57

I vote A plus chocolate!

Just make sure you do get dressed though, there was a lady in my local shop last night in her pj's and dressing gown and i wanted to vomit on her face

MillyStar · 30/08/2013 16:58

Haha fandago love it!

littlewhitebag · 30/08/2013 17:06

If you have wine it will only make you more tired. Have a cup of tea and an early night. Then you will be nice and fresh tomorrow.

Bowlersarm · 30/08/2013 17:08

Early night with a good book.

Have wine tomorrow.

MrsFlorrick · 30/08/2013 17:09

Pls buy some wine for me and drop it off on your way home Grin

DH not home till v late. No wine in house and two toddlers who need dinner and bed so I can't go out.

You'll have to do it for me Wink

UnicornsNotRiddenByGrownUps · 30/08/2013 17:10

A plus DD some treats

CaptainSweatPants · 30/08/2013 17:10

We have a takeaway that delivers wine as well

It's heaven Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 30/08/2013 17:12

Go in your PJs. Then wait with your Wine for the threads about you on MN.

Yama · 30/08/2013 17:19

My dilemma is:

Do I

A. Drink wine (have plenty)

B. Take painkillers

I had a large root canalled molar taken out on Monday. After days of swollen David Coulthard face and mega pain, I now have dulled pain and huge bruise.

Still on anti-bios.

Please let the consensus be A.

MrsTerryPratchett · 30/08/2013 17:22

David Coulthard face Grin

thebody · 30/08/2013 17:23

op of course it's A., are you insane.

Yama, is both possible??

WaitMonkey · 30/08/2013 17:24

Yama Grin

Yama · 30/08/2013 17:25

I thought you weren't meant to mix alchohol and paracetemol/ibrufen.

I've been dry all week. The very week when a glass of wine would've been as comforting as a true friend.

Gracie990 · 30/08/2013 17:27

Sit in the car whil dd drives , just pop a coat over you pjs.

PerilousStiletto · 30/08/2013 17:29
  1. Have a shower.
  2. Get wine
C. Now you are wide awake, so make sure you get a couple of bottles. Wink (I forgot 2a, or bc? - get dressed after the shower otherwise there really will be threads about you. Although this is more acceptable than pjs in a supermarket.)
YouTheCat · 30/08/2013 17:30

If it's a dull pain, and you're nearly done with the anti-bs, leave the pain killers and have wine.

OP, get thee to Tesco! It's friday!

There are 19 bottles of wine and one of champagne in my cupboard thanks to a rather good haul this birthday. Grin

AtYourCervix · 30/08/2013 17:50

Right.

I'm up.

Bloody DD is refusing to break laws so I'll have to go myself.

Humph.

SPBisResisting · 30/08/2013 17:55

How inconsiderate of her. I blame the bloody parents.

vtechjazz · 30/08/2013 18:19

No liquors or spirits in the house? When desperate I'll resort to my husbands grim rum.
