AIBU to not be able to drink my glass of wine?

To say I've had a bloody tough few months is an understatement (I had a thread on the bereavement section, this thread is not the place to go into detail about that though).

So anyway I have gone back to work, who have been bloomin fantastic. It's been a long hard week especially over the weekend with a lot of incidents/disruption I've had to deal with.

I have the day off tomorrow so decided to get a takeaway and a bottle of wine and just chill in front of the tv but no I've started with a bloody cold, sore throat, woolly head the lot.

Maybe I should "man" up and drink my wine anyway but think I will end up sticking the kettle on for a lemsip instead Brew

Wine always helps a cold in my opinion! 😉 or will at least help you sleep! Enjoy your take away and a night snuggled on the sofa!! X

I vote lemsip and keep the wine for a better evening! Takeaway and the sofa will be lovely anyway I hope. Look after yourself. Flowers

Couple of paracetamol with a glass of wine. A fine remedy. Get well soon Wine

Got any whisky or Brandy? Hot toddy would be a good alternative.

Whiskey, hot water and honey!

No whiskey or brandy I'm afraid but the red wine I think is helping to numb my throat.

Plus I have put X factor on through a lack of anything else on the tv so think the wine will be very much needed just to get me through the next hour lol

I'd leave the wine for another day only because when you wake up you'll definitely feel worse and you won't sleep as well

Ah i see I'm too late and you've already started Grin

Heat it up, add slices of orange, apple etc, bit of cinnamon and ginger, and enjoy some mulled wine instead?

tofollowtheclouds · 17/09/2017 20:58

Mmmm I think you may be right @VivienneWestwoodsKnickers mulled wine may well be just the medicine I need Smile
