Just that really. Nothing else to do. It's boring and the country's gone to shit...

Who's joining me?

@PeggyMoo

Just had a Baileys before saw this thread! What is the most acceptable day time drink?
Cider from a plastic bottle

I’ll join you after work!

cookiemonster5 · 21/12/2020 15:53

I would join you all but I'm wrapping parcels tonight and I don't need the added stress of being tipsy while trying to do the weirdly shaped ones so l will wait till I have finished then have a large gin.

Probably wise. The last time I was wrapping after quite a few drinks (I honestly thought it would make the mundane task a little less boring) I got cellotape stuck in my hair and forgot to write on most of the labels so didn't have a clue what was for who šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

You need boxes- no awkward shapes then

Tipsy wrapping is a Christmas Eve tradition in this house

It's Baileys hot chocolate time in my house

DrWankincense · 21/12/2020 16:11

I'm in. šŸ„‚

Kumquatsquash · 21/12/2020 16:11

Did my Christmas food shop today and came home and put 2 beers in the freezer. By the time I put the mountain of food, sweets and alcohol away the beers were perfectly chilled. Cheers! šŸ»

SpacePug · 21/12/2020 16:12

Wish I could join you! 38 weeks pregnant would kill for a baileys šŸ˜‹

year5teacher · 21/12/2020 16:15

Go on then! šŸ„‚

KimonoKim · 21/12/2020 16:21

Kitchen disco is in full swing. What's next on the jukebox?

Fishfingersandwichplease · 21/12/2020 16:27

I thought about it - crimson limbo has started already! Done fuck all today except read my book - sorry not sorry!!

Fishfingersandwichplease · 21/12/2020 16:28

Crimbo limbo. Stupid phone

FrangipaniBlue · 21/12/2020 16:28

It's 5pm somewhere right?

Chin chin! Wine

Natsel84 · 21/12/2020 16:31

It will be wine o clock soon šŸ·šŸ‘Œ

WhatsAParlay · 21/12/2020 16:33

Mine's a sherry. Croft Original. I'm on my second!

SimonJT · 21/12/2020 16:33

Its dark, that means its late enough for alcohol.

I’ve had two vodka and cokes so far, I’m moving on to beer next. Spacing them out sensibly though.

MRC20 · 21/12/2020 16:35

Outrageous behaviour, I waited till a more civilised 4pm before opening the wine 🤣🤣🤣

HeronLanyon · 21/12/2020 16:38

I poured a cold beer around 2.30 as I started a big cleaning sorting job. Managed to remain disciplined and it didn’t lead to more. Lovely.

LynetteScavo · 21/12/2020 16:42

It's been totally dark here for at least half an hour. I've mixed myself a negroni and settled down in front of the TV, then realised it's not even 5pm. It's my special way of marking the winter solstice.

TheDogsMother · 21/12/2020 16:42

I have to drive at 6 but will be joining you very soon afterwards

Sobeyondthehills · 21/12/2020 16:45

Myself and a few friends do a drinking game with the press conferences, it makes them a lot less boring and normally by the end of them we are a little bit tipsy so couldn't give a shit till the next morning.

Demitri · 21/12/2020 16:48

I’m about to pour my 2nd glass of wine. I had the first while I was making dinner šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·
