AIBU to open the red and sit in the sun?

[Hoopaloop]

I've got a day off. DS is at childminder, DH is at work and I've already smashed out all my jobs for the day. Noone will be back until 6 so I'm sat in the garden reading a book and listening to the birds. There's a bottle of merlot on the side and it's giving me the eye. AIBU to succumb to temptation and crack it open?

Won't you be asleep by 2pm? Red wine would knock me out in the sunshine.

You do you hun

Sounds lush. I’m in work. Wah woe is me!

I totally would. But then I would be asleep in an hour and wake up feeling like shit, so that would put me off!

YANBU! Go for it!

I’d stick to just one glass though so you’ll be sober by later on when everyone gets back, if you have stuff to do/kids to care for.

Id have a glass with lunch.

I would, but I'd be sorry afterwards.

I'm the same as PPs; red wine, sunshine, and day time are not a winning combo.

But if you've got the head for it, go for it.

Go for it as long as you're sober for when DS gets home.

Wine and sunshine is a no no for me. I'd be asleep on the chair and wake up at about 6pm 😂

This is probably lightheaded but if not, YABU. It’s 11.30am, if you are seriously craving wine you have a problem.

Lightheaded Well, she might be by now

Yes, YABU. This is much more a day for a rosé or a nice crisp chilled white. Enjoy 🤩

Popped. Bottoms up on midday chimes.

YABU. Why not something cold over ice or a nice coffee? It's way too early for booze, you'll be hungover in the afternoon.

Why not! Enjoy sounds lovely.

YANBU I also have a day off. DS is at school and I've just bought a nice bottle of white. Am going to have one glass with lunch before I pick him up from school then another later after he has gone to bed. Chin Chin!

(School is walking distance by the way before anyone thinks I'll be drinking and driving )

Am I the only one who wouldn't have my child at the childminder's if I had a day off?

Hollowtalk yes probably!

@HollowTalk yes.

Just wondering!

Please yourself. Why ask a load of random people to opine on your activities on your day off?

hollow yep.

if I don't send ds to nursery I still have to pay so unless i'm off because we're doing something as a family - he goes!

So jealous! Cheers anyway..

hollowtalk unlikely that you are but shock horror other people would. I certainly would and have done. Not that I need to justify it but I have zero support, limpet child who is a terrible sleeper so baby sitters and evening time are out of the question for the for the forseable. In two and a half years I’ve had a handful of days like this and feel no shame.

Enjoy your wine op - it’s great to find the time to just feel like an adult! (Hangover be damned!)
