My dsis is visiting so Iv made cocktails. First two went down quickly (mojito type drinks) so made a pitcher. Strawberry fizz with about half alcohol. Sterilising my insides!

As someone who is now self-isolating with suspected Covid-19 I cannot emphasise enough the importance of Enough Wine. I should have bought more.

Just eaten my emergency chocolate for the second time this week.

I was in a similar place a few years ago Mammy. Focus on yourself right now and the right person may come along (and if not then you're at least doing things for yourself). I've been married to DH for 2 years now and he's so much better than arsehole ex and has been an amazing stepfather too, but he came along just as I had given up on looking for someone and was focusing on myself. I hope whatever the future holds for you, you'll find happiness in it.

Grabbed a bottle of Malbec from the coop, earlier. Will crack it open when Ds2 finally goes to bed and stops talking at me about the location of every Smyths toy shop he's found on Google maps.

Liverbird77 · 13/03/2020 21:11

Pregnant. But I'll join you by thinking of a slightly dirty dry gin martini, shaken with two olives. Heaven.

Polkadotpjs · 13/03/2020 21:11

Fizz here. Chin chin

Mammyloveswine things will start to look better. Have faith. And you seem very hard on yourself right at the moment, as your life and mood improves, so will your confidence

I went to an event that had been covided off, but I didn't get a cancellation email. Invited to join another event that was going on, ate a pile of smoked salmon, half a bottle of prosecco followed by a couple of glasses of a really nice chablis when the bubbles got a bit much.
Went to leave, had a bottle of wine pressed on me to take home, found a nice coffee lounge on my way out of the building (the 'event' had been rather short on water and non alcoholic drinks).

LsBells · 13/03/2020 21:16
