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 have Baileys and half a box of chocolates.

Re a song - aren't we all supposed to be singing Happy Birthday?

Well my partners now suffering as I have Alexa and our surround sound on full while I sing my heart out Halo he was in bed. Wheatus - teenage dirt bag Glitterball 4th whisky Gin

Yes to karaoke and wine. I need to stick up on wine but have plenty of gin though not much tonic and I have a bidet so can manage without bog roll. Chin chin motherfu**ers 👍🍸

I can’t understand people panicking and stockpiling loo roll
Start stocking up on gin

My2catsarefab · 14/03/2020 23:04

I have copious amounts of gin and some gin baubles from christmas. I'm going to sing 'Top of the world' by the Carpenters.

chocolateisavegetable · 14/03/2020 23:13

I've tried to stockpile chocolate, but it doesn't seem to work for some reason

Currently on call at home trying to bring customers home from the other side of the world (I work for a tour o drinking a vodka and coke waiting for an email. Song is Linkin Park "Numb" for me haha

I've just sung along to Pitch Perfect 2 (yes, I know it's terrible, but it was on and I was too lazy to find something else). Helped by a bottle of rosé.

Fortunately DS is in the loft extension so far enough away that he couldn't hear. DH just had to suck it up.

And as we actually found toilet roll today, I'm going to celebrate by using more than one sheet. Rock and Roll!

@cantdoitalone I have champagne a doctor gave me for Christmas, I can swap for your single malt if you like?
Also HCW here, can’t believe where all the hand sanitizer has gone at work.
We had to lock up the masks as they kept disappearing!
I won’t sing, as can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but I will clap along.

I’ve been on lockdown in China and honestly ... it is not that bad!!!! If anything, it’s pretty nice! If everyone stops panic buying there won’t be any food shortages, there weren’t here and this was a badly affected province. You can order shopping online. You can just relax for a few weeks and cook and drink wine and spend time with family. It’s much better to be on lockdown and get this virus gone, than the current plan to carry on as normal. We all self isolated and within a matter of days the number of cases started dropping and then suddenly dropped drastically and now there have been no cases for three weeks. It’s inconvenient but it’s for the best. It’s not worth risking lives to save some people some money.

KittyJune · 15/03/2020 03:38

What I’m trying to say is... don’t worry! And drink up! Grin

Kitty “ You can just relax for a few weeks and cook and drink wine and spend time with family”

But would I be allowed to go to my elderly mum?

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 15/03/2020 04:01

I went out with my adult kids for a belated birthday meal and got quite drunk on a very expensive red wine. Unfortunately too much red wine is not good for my IBS, so I’ve had to go the loo. I’m now saying a prayer of thanks to my stockpile of toilet rolls. (Prepper, not panicked shopper) Though I did panic a bit, trying to get to the toilet on time. I now have that horrible‘I drank too much’ nausea. 🤢 I have a new client coming at 8am. I’ve turned to alarm up, because I guarantee I’ll fall asleep 15mins before it’s due to go off. 😭

@KittyJune I have heard that there is an increase in divorce requests post isolation

Fr0g · 15/03/2020 04:40

is the karaoke Happy Birthday while you wash your hands?

Fr0g · 15/03/2020 04:45

caramac - good idea re the bidet, but where will I put the bag of cat litter?

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 15/03/2020 04:47

I now have an image of you trying to teach the cat how to use a bidet. 😳

I confess while having a few 🍸 last night I was thinking that two weeks at home would be bearable. I could get to all those books I've bought but not read yet.
