Erm..... watching with interest - - as guess what I'm doing--

CrispsForTea · 06/05/2018 16:48

YABU for wasting precious Pimms time by posting on here first.

squidgesquodge · 06/05/2018 16:48

I was just having this dilemma. I'll now go & make myself one and pretend I'm joining you. As it's just me, I'd better not make a jug of it.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/05/2018 16:48

Despite my strike out fail suggests I have only just started my first one.

Fill yer boots love

Pimms is more or less the same as having a fruit salad and a nice glass of cordial.

LovelySouffle · 06/05/2018 16:50

Tastes like furniture polish though. Have a gin like an adult.

birdsdestiny · 06/05/2018 16:50

Well you are not alone are you. I don't have pimms but am having a g and t, so as long as you are welcoming to non pimms drinkers, all is good.

2rebecca · 06/05/2018 16:50

No, next question?

Pimmsoclockpls · 06/05/2018 16:51

Yes! Let’s all drink together #singledrinkersalonetogether

Suns out, Pimms out. Don’t doubt yourself op WinkWine

Bluntness100 · 06/05/2018 16:52

There is no issue with this.

I will happily have a glass of something when on my own ie if husband out, have a glass of wine in evening if I fancy one.

I do though have a friend who thinks you should never drink at all alone. I don't quite understand why.

To be fair though I also have another friend who can't understand why you'd have one drink and stop. She feels it's pointless. If you're going to drink uou should only do so to get drunk. 🤣🤣🤣

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/05/2018 16:52

I figured I was doing a public service by having one as it's the remains of a bottle from last year. I needed to test that it's not gone off.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 06/05/2018 16:54

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny Grin thats a public service. If you werent sure from the first one, you should try another just to be sure.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/05/2018 16:57

I hate you all. I have to go and get Pimms now. Bastards. I do have homemade organic hand squeezed lemon simple syrup like a domestic GODDESS so that's good.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/05/2018 17:04

Bananas good point there!

Mind you I'm not technically on my own now as DP and DS are just back from football.

birdsdestiny · 06/05/2018 17:04

Mrs TP, what kind of life do you live?Smile, I considered it a miracle that I had tonic to go with the gin.

whatwouldkeithRichardsdo2 · 06/05/2018 17:05

Crack on.

SmileEachDay · 06/05/2018 17:05

MrsTP

I read that in the M&S voiceover voice.

mimibunz · 06/05/2018 17:06

You will be drinking with the rest of us! Wine Smile

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 06/05/2018 17:06

I once drank Pimms in a hammock reading His Dark Materials. It's to be recommended.

Highhorse1981 · 06/05/2018 17:06

For me Pinms is lovely

But only something to be enjoyed with friends. Would make me feel sad to have on my own for some reason!

Highhorse1981 · 06/05/2018 17:07

But no judgement from me of those that do drink it alone!

maddiemookins16mum · 06/05/2018 17:10

yabvu for drinking glorified cough mixture juice but a nice cold Sav Blanc, no problem. If you get to three bottles, have sent all your friends weird fb messages, stumbled over and bruised yourself and fin yourself watching Dirty Dancing alone and weeping, it's time to stop.
Pimms, what a waste of good lemonade and fruit. 🤗🤗🤗
