I have had enough of this Corona virus I can't cope any more so im dipping into my alcohol reserves as im low on bog roll.
Who wants to join me in having a drink and a bit of virtual karaoke? And my DH had pissed me off.

I'm drinking New Zealand sauvignon Blanc and watching Friends. I refuse to watch or read the news any more. I work in the NHS I need to switch off. Cheers !

I'm on gin. Local 'alternative' school have put a sign on their door saying coronavirus been found in their community. have they announced it properly? Nope, cos apparently it in the community anyway!
It bloody wasn't! Be nice if they'd told folk.
So I'm on the gin. its here in our town.

PeterPanGoesWrong · 14/03/2020 21:28

🎶save your love my darling, 🎵🎵 just for me! La Lala laaaa .
My Tesco had no loo roll, or flour
No pasta nor no eggs, or bleach
Save your love for Norman and for me!

@Purplecatshopaholic I am in awe both of people who don't drink and people who have full drinks cabinet!

Lynda07 · 14/03/2020 21:29

I always find that alcohol makes me use more bog roll!

However I will join you in a drink. Your very good health!

Tiddlertoddler · 14/03/2020 21:31

@TaighNam, think you must be in the same town as me, frightening isn't it! Also two drinks in but no singing for me, just got the baby off to sleep 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Watch Ant and Dec - some lady dropped the f bomb on there - managed to forget about Corona for a few mins😂😂

imarocketman50 · 14/03/2020 21:32

I no longer drink due to medical reasons (been 9 months now) and hubby hates gin. So I have an enormous stock pile of gin which I'm planning on using on the black market in exchange for loo roll and pasta.

heymammi · 14/03/2020 21:34

I'm having a bottle of malbec and I request when you were young by the killers. I have had a rubbish start to the year plus all the panic in the world to add to it, I have just had enough so cheers me dears 🍷

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/03/2020 21:35

I don't drink but I've got half a small bottle of Amaretto from baking the Christmas cake .

I'm a NHS Staff type bod and cannot do my work from home so will be rolling in unless I have symptoms .
Hopefully people won't be swiping the bog roll along with the Hand Gel Hmm

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/03/2020 21:36

Oh forgot my song ...................

Hmmm ,,,,,,,,, Zombie by The Cranberries

Fishfingersandwichplease · 14/03/2020 21:37

@Gindrinker00 love that, l miss Brexit😂😂😂cracking up!!

KTyoupigeon · 14/03/2020 21:37

Oh no I’m a tone deaf alcoholic allergic sick of hearing all about Corona virus anxious person!! Currently listening to the top 40 and don’t know many of the current chart people.

I know 2-4 weeks lockdown or isolation sounds a lot and undoable BUT I did it for nearly 9 months when one of my DD was severely ill at home bedbound and couldn’t be left - I think I went out less than 9 hours in that whole time with no music or tv in the house - thank god for WiFi x

DartmoorDoughnut · 14/03/2020 21:43

I’m tucked up in bed as DH wanted to watch The Quiet Place or whatever it’s called and that’s a big fat nope from me so no booze, but I’ll do a bit of shouting Mr Brightside Wine

Louiselouie0890 · 14/03/2020 21:43

I'm sick of the memes and the family whatsapp group pinging away every 5 seconds because little timmy has a runny nose. Sick of the work emails about it and sick to death of sanitizing surfaces and having raw hands and explaining to customers why we cannot use there reusable cup they've possibly had there mouth round.

I'm in no way saying its ridiculous I'm all for it but god I'm sick of it lol I've been on the gin soon as I put the kids bed

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/03/2020 21:43

Just thinking of what a self-pitying wretch I have become over these last few days because I can't get stock cubes due to the shelves being empty except for jars of Lloyd Grossman pasta sauce (says how bloody foul that stuff is) - makes me realise I couldn't have coped with real privation.

All of those poor buggers in war zones, famine areas, victims of flood and fire - they just get on with it because they have to, and I'm at breaking point because I'm down to my last packet of cup-a-soup (and it's minestrone FFS!).

What a bloody wuss I am! I am ashamed.

Can I sing "Perfect Day" please?

All I have is lager and cider to make snakebite with.

TaighNamGastaOrt · 14/03/2020 21:51

@Tiddlertoddler ah, well hi! yes, its bloody scary. how can they not tell the townfolk? that'll be the schools closed monday then.
No singing here, can't be arsed. finished gin and cracking out a good whisky!! (hot toddy as son and I have the flu!)

EmotionalFlood · 14/03/2020 21:52

I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread, how will it change the more we drink though? Grin I work in healthcare so will have to go to work no matter what, which is fine but I'm already bored or the health and safety emails and risk assessments we have to do Envy

Second song! Bonnie Tyler - holding out for a hero Shock

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/03/2020 21:53

(hot toddy as son and I have the flu!)

< panics and throws detail over @TaighNamGastaOrt>

Canshopwillshop · 14/03/2020 21:55

Half way down a bottle of Chardonnay. Cindy Lauper True Colours for me please.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/03/2020 21:55

"There's a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note by note

Don't worry, be happy"

Tiddlertoddler · 14/03/2020 21:55

@TaighNamGastaOrt hello to you too! I would imagine so, surely they can't keep the rest open now. Tesco shelves will be even more bare once the news spreads 🙄 Hope you recover from your flu soon, enjoy that hot toddy! xx

TaighNamGastaOrt · 14/03/2020 21:57

@SchadenfreudePersonified

dinna panic, its just bog standard flu!
We've been off this week and in the house mostly!
any excuse for whisky tho!

Canshopwillshop · 14/03/2020 21:59

Here we go

‘And I see your true colours shining through, and I see your true colours and that’s why I love you so don’t be afraid to let them see your true colours, true colours are beeeyoootiful, like rainbows.

Thank you very much!

6demandingchildren · 14/03/2020 21:59

I now want to strangle DH as he is asleep doing his twitchy thing. He deserves to suffer the bastard.
But so many good tunes I love the cranberries and Alice cooper my next song is summer of 69
