It's Friday. I've saved syns for this on slimming world.

Night in to myself. Watching all my recording on sky, sitting in my tracksuit bottoms and a vest. Drinking prosecco and lemonade. Lie in tomorrow.

New book to start on my kindle unlimited prescription. Just have to choose what one.

Anyone else doing similar.

It's lovely. House is tidy. Washing is folded and put away. Not ironed like but it's out of site.

Husbands cooking on the grill, so obviously I've had nothing to do towards dinner! Anyway. I'm having my glass of wine while he cooks and everything else has magically appeared on the table.

Yanbu for putting lemonade in prosecco lol.

The bar has just opened in our house. Pink gin and tonic for me with a star anise and cinnamon stick in. Yummmm. Been looking forward to it all week.

Got my fluffy dressing gown and elasticated waist baggies on. Bliss. Friday nights are my favourite ♥️

PositiveVibez · 11/05/2018 19:35

Yabu for prosecco and lemo I meant 😂

grumpy4squash · 11/05/2018 19:37

House is a mess, have had massively busy week at work, but now thinking 'sod it' and having a lovely glass of red.

allthegoodnameshadgone · 11/05/2018 19:38

I can't drink wine or prosecco on its own I'm a wuss. Everyone I know calls me out on the prosecco with soda but I like it weak.

I usually have soda in the fridge as I drink it with cordial but cba going the shop.

We have pink gin in the fridge. And possibly cinnamon sticks that sounds gorgeous.

I just had a glass of white wine. Bliss after a long work meeting. Drinking tea and water for the nrest of the night though.

Oooh! Lovely thread. Great week at work, feeling proud of myself for my efforts. Just had a gin and tonic and looking forward to cooking for friends tomorrow. Sun's gone in and the showers have started. Don't care! Life is good!

allthegoodnameshadgone · 11/05/2018 19:40

I worked from home today. Loads of conference calls. All had a nice Friday feeling.

Feeling pretty good about life! Gin

UpstartCrow · 11/05/2018 19:42

I'm slobbing in an old t-shirt & shorts after gardening. The house is covered in grass clippings and dandelion clocks. Its not my problem.
I have vodka and tonic with a dash of mango juice with frozen orange and lemon slices.

Linzeyhun · 11/05/2018 19:42

Me too, just poured a glass of red while I do the marking for my class.

Eliza9917 · 11/05/2018 19:42

Currently listening to YouTube on the telly til DP gets back.

iklboo · 11/05/2018 19:42

Arse of a week at work, stressed to buggery.

Nice cold Chardonnay in bed watching ER reruns with a box of toffee poppets. DH & DS both out until 9:30pm.

The80sweregreat · 11/05/2018 19:43

Wine is open here. Cheers

ShakeShakeTheMuffin · 11/05/2018 19:43

I'm on the gin. Gin

weegiemum · 11/05/2018 19:44

Dh is bringing wine. Unfortunately he's been held up at work.

scurryfunge · 11/05/2018 19:45

Same here. Finished work at 15.30. House is fine and can't be arsed to cook. Sent DH to pub to collect our fish and chips. Then night in watching crap tele.
Oh the weekend.

BlueTrousers · 11/05/2018 19:45

Eurgh I’m sat in the car on the motorway with a 3 month old doing a giant shit in the back seat
Had to pick DP up from somewhere after a major cock up from his work and transport - I want wine!!

Shutthesidegate · 11/05/2018 19:48

DH is still at work, I'm not 😀 so wine is open and first glass is going nicely. The DC's are nowhere to be seen and I'm enjoying the quiet

RosaRosaRose · 11/05/2018 19:49

UpstartCrow v&t with mango juice is delish. I also use Clementine mixed with some Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic. Frozen slices are now my go to. Never tried Grin

I've had a poorly DS all week, and therefore I've been quarantined with him so I've popped the cork on the bottle of champagne my DB & DSIL got me for my 30th last week Smile also wearing baggy checked jammy bottoms from the men's section cos I'm 5'11 and women's are never long enough to snuggle up in! Cheers mumsnet Wine

YABVu for drinking prosecco with lemonade. Too much sugar (for me Wink)

Vodka has fewer calories - can you try this with loads of tonic or lemonade?

Actually - scratch the above. You go girl. You deserve your night.

allthegoodnameshadgone · 11/05/2018 20:00

It's diet lemo. It's free on SW Wink

Im having a wine and waiting for my fake tan to dry in preparation for party with the inlaws tomorrow (groan). Any tips for coping tomorrow? They are nice people but boring as sin and only convo is local gossip (im not local so nothing to contribute).
