To think this is not how my Saturday night was supposed to go?

[LumpyMcBentface]

I've been on a non drinking week (yay me!). This involved being sober through a family party where they were all drinking lovely prosecco while I drank coffee. Painful.

So my 'reward' for good behaviour was that me and Dh were going to have a little drinkie tonight. I sat out in the garden until it got dark reading Cosmo and drinking nice wine, which was lovely, while Dh did some music practice and generally pottered.

I came indoors to a row between ds2 and DD. Separated them and got them into bed. DJ and I settled down to watch tv. I offered to get him a drink and he said he wasn't sure he wanted one. Half an hour later he got restless legs. The only way he has ever found to stop it is going to bed. We tried a walk around the garden, he had a shower, but it was no good.

He's gone to bed and I'm nursing the last glass of my bottle watching Netflix. What a waste of a bottle of wine.

Anyone else having a rock n roll bank holiday weekend? I feel like a right loser.

I left the house earlier for my sister's birthday tea. First time in over a week. That deserves props, and copious alcohol.

oh that's not good Bods.
I'm on my second evening of falling out with dd and bursting into tears. I never argue but it's been a really stressful time. dh is stressed and I can't talk to him. None of my friends are around to talk to and so it's leaking out into me snapping unreasonably rather than being supportive.

Lumpy have some props and

Oh Kitten and Bods. You can share my ale. Spitfire Gold. It's quite tasty.

Cheaper??

We were up and out early today, went out on a friend's boat, moored off the beach and swam in. Finally took the boat back about 2, dropped dd2 off at a swimming party, went home and fell asleep.

Picked dd up at half six and then had a friend over for a bbq. All ate far too much, friend went home, dp in bed by ten and I'm so tired I may not surface before 11 tomorrow.

Zero alcohol but did eat a bar of chocolate. Go me!! :o

My 12yo DD hasn't said a nice word to me for months. All I get from her is sarcasm and eyerolls. I said 'good night darling' to her earlier and got 'as if you give a shit' in reply.

It's no wonder I drink.

We got all excited tonight , DH and me , because we thought we might be able to open a bottle . Then remembered one of us had to get DS from work at 11 pm . So that was that . Dammit . Another two weeks to wait .

Oh cat, that sounds idyllic. I'd swap wine for a day like that.

Prepare to feel a tad more rock and roll.

Here is my Saturday night. 1.5hours of hard core...

Ironing

Why why why would you put yourself through that! Free yourself from the tyranny of the iron. Twelve years and counting here, no one has ever said 'ooh you look crumpled'. Well, except my mother, who irons underpants.

oh yes please to Spitfire. Now you are talking!

12 year olds are hard!

agreed. No more ironing. should be banned. I think we need an mn campaign.

S'quite nice. I will face the Wrath of DH tomorrow though, despite the fact I can replace three bottles for a fiver.

I feel like I'm just enjoying my Saturday despite every other fucker going to bed though. Vive la loners!

I'm currently trying to feed a 2 week old to sleep, while trying to guess what song is playing at the party down the street.
A bit embarrassed / proud that I not only recognised Bieber, but knew most of the words!
Living the dream!

I only need to iron about every 3 weeks but my mother would disown me if I gave it up!

I have no idea how other people's stuff comes out of the washer fit to be seen. Mines always a crumpled mess.

Don't think it helps I am intolerant to all fabric softener.

I just finished ironing clothes.

vive la loners

Rabidu, your time will come again.

Shall i go for the third and last beer?

I could then claim we never bought any and he must be mistaken.

I'm watching Tim Roth talk down a bomber so no plans to go to bed yet.

Dd is STILL afuckingwake, every day this week she's stayed awake till gone midnight "just because"

I'm waking Dh up for a shag regardless of what time it is. Having a teen and six year old in the house and trying to have a sex life is ridiculous.

Just start snogging in the living room Honey, she'll soon fuck of to bed

Drink the beer.

We did it this morning. Perfect storm of the 12yo out, the 14yo headphoned up and the 5yo glued to YouTube.

I'm going for round two in a minute. All kids asleep. We takes our moments when we can.

what will you do with the evidence? can you sneak it into the neighbours bin?

Restless legs is caused by a drop in magnesium. I take a supplement before bed because the meds I'm on cause a drop in magnesium and it drives me nuts. Eat a banana before bed or get some supplements OP
