to have opened a magnum of champagne on my own this evening

[openallthetime]

I know it's not yet NYE, but I have been stuck in the house several days. I can drink some tonight, and some tomorrow! (It will retain its fizz enough to last... the old fork trick!)

it's all I had in the house...

Have fun 🤩

YANBU

Oooh have fun! I was tempted but will hold off until DP gets home from work tomorrow. While he's out I'm going to have a bath and a bit of pampering and plan to do my hair, make up and put on a nice frock, just to drink wine / champagne on the couch for the evening.

What's the fork trick

I would like to hear more about the fork..

Upside down fork or spoon in the neck of the bottle. Somehow helps it keep its fizz.

Yanbu, it's not like we've got anything else to do. Cheers and Happy New Year to you.

YADNBU!

Enjoy every sip!

thanks people, I feel a bit better about it now knowing others are approving providing I don't overindulge tonight, lol

the last time i did the fork trick it worked! (Upside down in the bottle helps it stay fizzy) so hope it works this time!!

Pop some sloe gin in there too - cheers! 👍

Enjoy

Good for you - enjoy!!! 🍾🥂

Love champagne, enjoy!

I thought the fork trick was going to be when you’ve had a few glasses you say “oh fork it, I might as well finish the bottle”.

YABU because the fork / spoon trick rarely works, IMO, and finding space for an open Magnum in the fridge is tricky

Fork it, open it 🥂

Ooh I am jealous - YANBU

I'm just finishing a bottle that I opened on Christmas morning
(not a magnum magnums get eaten very quickly, especially raspberry ones)

The fork/teaspoon thing is a myth - stays effervescent without it, jsut keep it in the fridge. Mine has less fizz after five days, but is way from flat.

Enjoy!!! 🍾

Ah, you’re familiar with my fork trick 😂

Ugh wrong quote sorry!

I can barely drink half a normal bottle without being hammered, so I've no idea how you're going to make any inroads. Good luck...

You go girl!!!

Great thinking - enjoy EVERY mouthful!

If there's no room in the fridge, cover it well and pop it outside - it's colder than the fridge.

What's a magnum

@NannyGythaOgg good thinking! I've just realised there's no way I can possibly fit an open magnum in my fridge, fork or not!! Thank you for saving my champers....
