Earlier in the year, my husband was very ill (much better now) and Dad diagnosed with dementia, I dropped Friday from my working week to do more for them both

Every week I’ve had loads to do, which is fine as that’s why I cut my working week. Today I’ve ‘only’ had to clean our house, which I’ve done 😃 and I really fancy a Baileys

But it’s so early to be drinking isn’t it…

Well its after midday and you are an adult.. go for it lol

Isthisforevernow · 07/11/2025 13:22

Presuming you are over 18, and don’t need to drive anywhere this afternoon or evening, then why not? A little of what you fancy does you good, as my old gran would say. You’ve dealt with plenty so if that Baileys makes you happy, crack on.

Its on offer in Sainsbury’s if you find you need more…

Go for it.
Tesco (I think) have it on special offer with a clubcard

I mean it's all relative. One baileys as a treat is fine. Is it the start of an all day drinking binge - bit worrying.

Topbird29 · 07/11/2025 13:25

Go for it! If it makes you feel better you could have it in a latte or hot chocolate..or just neat.

ginasevern · 07/11/2025 13:25

Have one for me OP!

CharlieSays13 · 07/11/2025 13:26

The sun is over the yard arm! Enjoy!

SplendidUtterly · 07/11/2025 13:26

I think i will join you!
£14 for a big bottle at Tesco right now (just saying!)

Ablondiebutagoody · 07/11/2025 13:27

Lunchtime drink and an afternoon nap!

TeapotCollection · 07/11/2025 13:29

Right, I’ve got one 😃

Definitely no driving, blimey no I wouldn’t do that. Won’t actually be driving until I go to work on Monday

No binge drinking here either. 20 years ago maybe 😆

I’ll virtually share it ginasevern 🍸

Thanks for the heads up on offers 👍

Never too early. I often have a drop of baileys in my first coffee of the day and always have some in my last one.

TeapotCollection · 07/11/2025 13:33

Cheers SplendidUtterly 🙃

In coffee? That’s an idea. Presumably instead of milk, not both

This is a good idea! It's very delicious.

TeapotCollection · 07/11/2025 13:39

Will definitely try that

Not doing this today but I sometimes put Tia Maria in my Baileys. I don’t like TM on its own but mixed with Baileys it’s lovely

@TeapotCollection i’d just add that if you’ve considered buying the limited edition Terry’s Chocolate Orange edition of Bailey’s, absolutely go for it. Obviously it has the added benefit of being one of your 5 a day 😂

TeapotCollection · 07/11/2025 14:13

Terry’s Chocolate Orange?? Who knew!

Thank you, will add some to my delivery on Sunday

5 a day 😆

So every year early Dec when a 1L Bailey's is on offer for around £15, I buy one 'ready for Christmas'... Then proceed to have Bailey's in my coffee instead of milk in the mornings and come 20ish Dec, wonder where my Bailey's is gone, why I weigh a few kgs more and also how much more it'll cost to replace the bottle... 😂

youalright · 07/11/2025 15:25

I had a pub lunch today and had my first pint just after 12 you're fine enjoy

tarheelbaby · 07/11/2025 15:28

Bailey's?! But it's not even Advent yet ... misses point

lazyarse123 · 07/11/2025 15:31

That reminds me i have a bottle of Aldis own Baileys. I tried it last year and it was lovely so I got another bottle. Might have to see if it's still drinkable if not I'll buy another.
Hope you're enjoying yours op.

gingercat02 · 07/11/2025 15:37

Nah! It's Friday and you've had a shit time. Do it 🥃

I have been known to have some in my porridge
