fancy a glass of wine but

[StealthPolarBear]

The only bottles we have are some I got for my birthday that I don't feel I should open on any old Friday just cos.
wwyd?

I conduct funerals and I did one the other day for a lovely man who had died very suddenly. His wife was distraught, obviously, but one of the things that made her burst into tears (among many others) was opening the cupboard and seeing the wine he'd been saving for a special day for over 2 years.

Drink the wine. Life's too short.

Sorry - am feeling maudlin' after opening a bottle of wine myself...

its Friday, open the wine,

My beautiful grandmother died today. She loved wine. And brandy.

Drink the wine

What wine is it?

I'm so sorry for your loss PotteringAlong

I hope there will be special forum celebrations for World Gin Day tomorrow!

Today would have been my mum and late dad's 60th wedding anniversary. Raise a glass to my old dad!

Today is a very special day open that wine. Cheers

I've already opened a gifted "special" bottle of wine because... er.... ...

Xpost. Shall now drink in honour of all loved ones.

Friday - wine
You have wine - open wine
Wine is opened - drink wine

Simple

From Nora Ephron, following the death of her best friend who was gone in only a few months, the victim of breast cancer.And that reminds me to say something about bath oil. I use this bath oil I happen to love. It’s called Dr Hauschka’s lemon bath. It costs about £15 a bottle, which is enough for about two weeks of baths if you follow the instructions.
The instructions say one capful per bath. But a capful gets you nowhere. A capful is not enough. I have known this for a long time.
But if the events of the last few years have taught me anything, it’s that I’m going to feel like an idiot if I die tomorrow and I skimped on bath oil today.
So I use quite a lot of bath oil. More than you could ever imagine. After I take a bath, my bathtub is as dangerous as an oil slick. But thanks to the bath oil, I’m as smooth as silk.

Ooh world gin day . Squeeeeee.

Definitely drink the wine. There's no point saving it for a special occasion: then you'll have to share it!

OP "NoT sure about the queen, did she do anything for mine"

Brilliant point!!

I had a bottle of exceptionally good wine that was being saved for a 'special occasion'. The trouble is that as time went by, the ante was upped to the point where I couldn't any longer think of a single occasion special enough to justify opening it.

So I decided, one evening, to just open it and drink it with a bath. It was one heck of a weight off my shoulders.

Hope you're enjoying yours.

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother .

I'm going to drink wine later to celebrate I've done lots of good things this week and far too many bad but they don't count

It's my birthday too . Have one for me!

Always drink the wine! I'm willing my dd to go to sleep as I can practically hear the condensation dripping down the bottle of prosecco I have in the fridge! It's been a long half term but pre school is open again on Monday! Hooray!!

I had birthday wine drunk by the next weekend open the wine.

Happy Birthday, EE. Hope you get some wine later.
