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

Who's joining me?

Ahhh yes, a nice chilled Chardonnay for me. Sláinte😊

SausageCrush · 21/12/2020 16:51

We're having a solstice roast tonight (bah humbug to Christmas) and I'm in the kitchen with the radio on, drinking ginger wine with lemonade Grin

@Sobeyondthehills

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.
Love this! Is it have a drink everytime Boris trips over his words?

@KimonoKim

We have rules and everything. The Saturday press conference was messy

Brieminewine · 21/12/2020 16:56

@RelightMyPfizer nope no headache, cough or temp so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

79Beastie · 21/12/2020 17:02

I'm on my third glass of wine, I'm doing the washing, cleaning, cooking and wine makes it fun. Waiting for the tuts when the husband comes home from work but least he's gtreatful that everything's done when he comes home. Then I'll have another one with him. Well it is the run up to Christmas after all. Cheers everyone 🥂

@RelightMyPfizer
My husband makes it the second way. Personally I pour a mug of Baileys and then put a spoonful of coffee in it, maybe a wee splash of milk 😎

cheesecrackersandcorona · 21/12/2020 17:21

I just started on the Aldi Baileys. Delicious!

Dont they deliver by reindeer?
CandidaAlbicans2 · 21/12/2020 18:04

Pah, I started at 2:30 after getting the groceries. In my defence it's been a miserable year, I don't like shopping, and I got in to find a card from the Post Office to say I'd missed a delivery (bloody sod's law it's one of the few times I've left the house recently 🙄). But because I have to be bright and breezy tomorrow morning I had to stop at 1 pint of strong Perry ☹️ Chin chin everyone 😊

I might be late to the party but I plan to get through an epic amount of cheap Malbec tonight. Need artificially induced relaxation. Have spent the last couple hours of work shouting at my screen like a mad drunk in the park. Now need to be a real but jollier drunk. Hopefully enough cheap wine in that I won’t get onto the naice C’mas wine.

Drank half a bottle of vino since 5pm when I finished work, off to get another bottle now

KimonoKim · 21/12/2020 18:44

Doing well to say we started pretty early. To all those just joining. Better late than never. Cheers MN friends and family. Here's to eating, drinking and being Merry 🥂 kitchen disco is still ongoing and we have now moved onto 80s best rock songs

I had 2 g&ts whilst making mince pies this afternoon, stopped before dinner and now on coffee. Afternoon drinking is the way forward.

Falalalalallalalalaaahic · 21/12/2020 20:51

Eeek, nothing yet, I am clearly slacking
I'll see what I have, I don't want to miss the party

EnglishRose1320 · 21/12/2020 20:57

I got the Christmas drinks in today but am currently on antibiotics so no drinking until I've finished them, have set alarms so I don't forget any and definitely finish the course before Christmas day!
