I had a tiny glass of red at 5.30 when I started cooking tea. I then followed this with a few glasses over the next 3 hours. I realised this was a bottle gone at about 9pm so went to the shop for another bottle and bought some loo roll as well as they had just taken delivery so I'm onto a winner
I'm feeling much much better than I have done all week. Fuck me I needed this. Massively fuckity fuck .

What a day, finally about to pour a glass. Can’t wait!

Hello and cheers to you! Wine

BadCatDirtyCat · 13/03/2020 22:02

I'll have a large glass entire bottle of imaginary malbec please.

(Real world tonic water as preggers)

Iusedtobeapartygirl · 13/03/2020 22:03

Hello Stella!!

FilthyforFirth · 13/03/2020 22:04

Can I join? 5 gins in and gutted to have run out of tonic. My mega expensive holiday has just been cancelled due to corona virus.

We havent had a holiday since 2016, muy DH spent the past 15 months or so quite badly depressed, we are unlikely to concieve our 2nd naturally and this holiday was supposed to be a consolation prize to that.

I also suffer from HG so cant book a holiday further out on the off chance I am preggers and too sick to travel/enjoy a holiday.

So I may just switch to neat gin.

Also have a holiday booked, believe it or not, to South Korea.

Timing eh!!

thenaughtyone · 13/03/2020 22:17

Working from home for at least the next 6 weeks. Have to say I'm really relieved as I travel a lot. No booze in the house at present but tomorrow I intend to buy the biggest bottle of Disaronno I can find and then I'll play catch up with you lovely ladies. 🥃

Thanks to those losing out on holidays. I hope something can be salvaged in some way so you can still get away.

We somehow lucked out that way this year, we go away multiple times a year, although rarely abroad, but we decided a few months ago that this year we would just do day trips when we could and we'd try to build up the savings again after a few unexpected expenses last year ate into them. I have a low immune system so even any break in the UK we'd have had to cancel just in case. The two things we were planning on attending in the next couple of months hadn't released their tickets and are now cancelled.

On the plus side DH is going to apply for a passport this week. I bet he gets it in record time, as I imagine the staff are all sitting there twiddling their thumbs

Neat gin for now. It will all work out good in the end.

The picture of the fridge that needs to be a must (by law) in every household. :) :)

daffodilbrain · 13/03/2020 22:25

Bit late to the party but the Prosecco hurried me up!

ladyvimes · 13/03/2020 22:26

Rose and frangelico here! It’s been that sort of week. On the phone for the last two hours to my tipsy mum! Dh is bemused!

Stellamay08 · 13/03/2020 22:27

Daffodil

It’s never too late to the party. Hi!!

grannyshark · 13/03/2020 22:34

Yes - as pain reliever for tooth ache because nothing else is working Angry

FilthyforFirth · 13/03/2020 22:39

Thanks all. Dh found a rogue bottle of tonic so not switched to neat yet. Drinking warm tonic though so the blows keep coming.

LargeGinOnTap · 13/03/2020 22:41

As my username suggests I'm on the gin and orange had a glass or 2! At the pub earlier though

FilthyforFirth · 13/03/2020 22:42

I'm there @dingit. Love a bit of outside drinking. If I wasnt so drunk already I would fire up the hot tub (or sex pond to some mn'ers) and cry into the bubbles.

FunnysInLaJardin · 13/03/2020 22:46

Do you know, there hasnt been a drunk thread around these parts since ...oooh the financial crash of 2008/9.

Very welcome it is too.

Cheers folks Wine

PenguinsOnParade · 13/03/2020 22:52

I'm now being a total saddo and playing Song Quiz by myself via Alexa. DH is due home from work soon and doubt he'll be in the mood to do anything other than change into jammies and go to bed. The bonus is that I can't lose. Grin
