Hope I've not missed last orders? I've been binge watching the Split, just started season 2...sooo good.

Those of you several drinks in, who has a small child to get up for tomorrow? DS is 2.9. DH will get up with him but it does curb my drinking somewhat...The tears today have been because I promised him he would meet Mickey Mouse and now I've lied to him.

Feel like the worst parent ever.

I am well into my bottle and just found some forgotten fudge I'd squirrelled away in my crochet bag.

I'm basically living my best life right now.

Cheers all!.

I have plenty of those mini flavourings for gin but no gin to accompany them, so I am daringly having a hot chocolate with Tia Maria. #oneofakind

PickAChew · 13/03/2020 23:05

Mickey mouse is poorly. He needs a rest.

ThunderPython · 13/03/2020 23:08

@23Mammyloveswine you deserve ALL the alcohol.

I do hope you've packed his bags, having taken a poo in said bag before handing it over.

I had a secret bottle of champers stashed away from Xmas. We were going off booze this year. Fuck it, I'm going out with a bang. 3/4 bottle of veuve clicquot to the good! Slainte

@Stellamay08

Welcome, welcome, pull up a chair but be a dear and wash your hands first. Ta.

Hic.

NeedToKnow101 · 13/03/2020 23:16

I had a nap then woke up and poured myself a glass of red.

Mammyloveswine · 13/03/2020 23:19

Feeling very merry and eating a ready meal as noticed I hadn't eaten since Monday thanks to ofsted...

Tried to speak to hubby but he was defensive and shouty.. 😡😡😡

ThunderPython · 13/03/2020 23:20

Who is putting red in the fridge?

Ah memories of my summer hols in Spain when I ordered a bottle of rioja and it was served chilled. Initially I was horrified, however it was bloody lovely.

ThunderPython · 13/03/2020 23:21

@UsualSuspect used to do the drunk threads didn't she. I believe she now resides in another corner of the www though.

I'm pretty sure for a while the Friday night drunk thread alluded to bum sex too.

ThunderPython · 13/03/2020 23:22

Tried to speak to hubby but he was defensive and shouty.. prick.

Honestly, shit on the fuckers clothes.

Well DH is late home because some woman got on a train with suspected Corona symptoms and they've now had to take her into isolation and take the train back empty, and putting that in front of the train my DH is on was more important apparently.

Although I am glad they didn't take her off where he was as apparently that had been debated but they did it elsewhere.

Mammyloveswine · 13/03/2020 23:26

Ha thanks @ThunderPython he's in the spare room until tomorrow when he's going to his sisters...

As an aside Aldi Lamb hotpot ready meal is lovely!

PenguinsOnParade · 13/03/2020 23:28

What a fucking arse he is Mammy. Glad it won't be long until he's going.

grannyshark · 13/03/2020 23:28

I'm basically living my best life right now.

Good stuff...I'm making memories but as I'm about to have a second glass they might be short lived. I now need crisps or chocolate but am out of stock. The bastarding tooth ache has gone though - or if it hasn't I don't care.

Redshoeblueshoe · 13/03/2020 23:29

Stop lying to the kids Shock
Mickey mouse is in rehab

ThunderPython · 13/03/2020 23:30

@FilthyforFirth no smalls here, my youngest is 7. He thinks he's sneaking downstairs on a Saturday morning at 8am to play the Wii. He thinks I don't know and he's getting away with murder.

I have to stroll downstairs at 10am and be all surprised "oh, DS! I didn't know you were up!"

If I'm lucky the 16yo will have got up and fed the dog and let her out for ablutions.

Saturday morning is my only lie-in and it is glorious.

I don't drink every Friday night, at least not the bottle I've done tonight (I just went to pour another glass and it was empty 😭😭😭) but this week really has been shit.

Im a cleaner so I'm cleaning up other people's houses and am disinfecting like it's going out of fashion.

I've done x2 3 hour cleans today. Used twice the amount of cloths, half a pack of disposable gloves and half a bottle of Zoflora. Usually I use half that amount for the same cleans.

My washing machine now has my reusable cloths in on a 95° wash.

My hands are so dry and I'm running low on my Dream Cream from Lush (onlu think that works on my skin)

But anyway..... Wine and forgotten fudge. It's not all bad!

Mammyloveswine · 13/03/2020 23:30

Thanks @penguins

Redshoeblueshoe · 13/03/2020 23:32

Grannyshark I have a question for you. Do your gcs sing Granny Shark shark shark shark shark ? Repeatedly

BookSkark · 13/03/2020 23:32

Oh dear. Glass of champagne plus 1/2 bottle white in the restaurant plus another 1/2 bottle of white when we got home = quite snoozy right now.

On the plus side, none of us have Coronavirus yet, and work have told me to work from home indefinitely, so may as well enjoy myself while I can.

BookSkark · 13/03/2020 23:34

@Redshoeblueshoe surely it would be GrannyShark do do do do do do? Which is now stuck in my head. Thanks for nothing.

grannyshark · 13/03/2020 23:39

They sing this

RobinsEggBlue · 13/03/2020 23:44

@FilthyforFirth I have one a similar age you know it’s going to be hell anyway in the morning, get stuck in! Sorry about Mickey Mouse that’s rubbish. @Mammyloveswine your husband sounds like a twat if he’s getting all defensive. Stay strong
