I decided to share a bottle of wine with my lovely husband this evening, he poured, I went to go and get another glass. I don’t know what to say! We both knew we go through wine fast in the house but we can make a bottle of wine last 2 days if we take it home from a restaurant.

Why did it never occur to me to check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He’s used 2 375ml bottles of wine for 2 glasses. BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH OUR WINE GLASSES HOLD!! Im horrified!! I’m already dying of stage 4 cancer so it won’t do much harm to me but to him!!

This one glass of wine is an entire 375ml of wine and it’s been a really really bad day so I’ve already finished the glass. Fuck me!

WIBU to not check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He always pours the wine (he’s the aficionado) and he always pours it to that level. we’ve probably annihilated bottles of wine in 2 glasses!

Fuck me im thick please make me feel better.

Sounds like you needed a good glass of wine OP. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wishing you all the best for the forthcoming op.

If you're partial to a white wine.. the most delicious I've ever tasted was a Vernaccia di San Gimignano from the town in Italy of the same name. I had a google and its one you can get delivered (even easier) I think if a bottle is only going to last for two glasses.. you may as well find one you really like

Judge your kitchen? Would you like to see mine? And I say, if you have stage 4 cancer, drink all you want!

I agree. Your kitchen actually looks fine to me but with all you are going through, who cares how it looks! Drink away, and I do hope everything goes well. 💐

fffiona · 06/05/2025 22:13

I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I think in your situation I’d dispense with glasses all together and just drink I straight from the bottle. All the best!

As a fellow doctor, I believe you.

Surely one of the ‘advantages’ of having stage 4 cancer is that you can do what the hell you want. You can drink as much wine as you wish, grow your nails as long as you want, and post outing information about your bumhole on Mumsnet.

Arglefraster · 06/05/2025 22:15

Bloody hell @sellotapechickenI think you should feel free to fill the bath with wine tonight if you want to.
I used to work with a GP who always said he was having an extra drink on behalf of his patients because you haven't got a drinking problem unless you drink more than your doctor...

Very best for a successful surgery & astounding recovery 💐

Sammyspurs · 06/05/2025 22:18

Just ignore the trolls OP. They don’t like to think that people tell the truth on here and like nothing more than to judge!
enjoy your lovely glass of wine and good luck with the surgery.. my mum had kidney and breast cancer and that was bad enough- I can’t imagine what you’re going through but my thoughts are with you. Please do let us know how it goes.

I mean, it IS Whispering Angel. I get more of a rush from a Starbucks Refresher than I do a half bottle of that! BUT I still buy it because it tastes good. Sorry about your diagnosis but I'm glad you both enjoyed your wine.

Murphs1 · 06/05/2025 22:26

@Cctviswatchingme001 yes but why question, given the content the poster is posting?
Wishing you all the very best op, best of luck with everything and enjoy your wine 😊

Why would you focus on something like that? OP has posted that she has advanced cancer and was discussing wine glass size. Why would you essentially accuse her of lying about her profession? What makes a person like you respond like this?

Enjoy your wine, quality of life while you can enjoy it. You are not thick, I have a masters degree and if it makes you feel better I thought birds had four legs 😢😩😩😩 until my colleagues looked at me in dismay. Xx

You thought birds had four legs?!

That's beyond funny 😂

God help your children .. because you are completely insensitive, judgmental and obviously enjoy trying to make someone in an already terrible situation, feel worse about themselves,
You’ve left yourself open to ridicule - if you can’t take criticism.. don’t dish it out

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/05/2025 22:28

My Dad was a type 2 diabetic. When he had cancer all he wanted was chocolate -not the horrible diabetic stuff- and the doctor visiting the ward said to let him enjoy his small pleasure.
Good luck with the surgery. I've not had to show my colleagues my bits, but I have walked into a meeting with my skirt tucked into the back of my knickers. Bet that made you chuckle
I'm not a surgeon (I'm an office worker) but I know what the omentum is. I had an infarction of mine. It fucking hurt.

‘Your an idiot for believing she's a surgeon 😂 A surgeon who doesnt even know basic maths and measurements.’

You should apologise to the OP.

I read before that a 750ml bottle is the size of the average lung full of air so that’s the size the glass bottle blowers settled on. I don’t know if that’s true though!

Enjoy the wine and wishing you all the best x x

It is true and another reason that wine bottles are 750ml. Apparently there's a few reasons for it. I heard the glass blowing one many many years ago and have merrily repeated it more times than I can count but only recently googled it. I was worried it wouldn't be true but I liked it too much to find that out. Thankfully it is true.

Another random fact told to me by the same weirdo is that Maggie Thatcher was on the team of chemists who invented Mr Whippy ice cream (more probably the method of making it).

@sellotapechickengood luck with your surgery and as a doctor ('s daughter) I prescribe all the wine in whatever glasses you want.
