GloriaInEccentrica · 19/12/2009 16:06

bought myself a botte because DH forgot to.

got in. told DH i'd have one as fancied it.

he comes downstairs and gets all sniffy because it's 4pm.

I don't have to go out anywhere again. I don't have anything I need to be doing.
AIBU?

Certainly not unreasonable.

In fact, that's a really good idea, think I may join you.

(we have cheap ASDA Baileys-substitute but it's almost as nice)

I don't see anything wrong with Baileys at 4pm, especially as you don't have to be anywhere!
(provided you don't have a problem with drink, of course?)
Did you offer DH one?!
We just got in from a pub lunch and they were doing Baileys bread and butter pudding!

too right, I'm on my second xmasbottle drink

nickytwotimes · 19/12/2009 16:10

Nah, a wee Baileys is fine at 4 on a Saturday afternoon near Chiristmas.

Wineonafridaynight · 19/12/2009 16:10

I've just poured myself a vodka with raspberry and cranberry juice!

I've got a problem, my bottles nearly empty and I'm trying to save it for next week

SuWoombOfImmaculateConception · 19/12/2009 16:12

Hell no, 4pm? We start at 12 in this house

SuWoombOfImmaculateConception · 19/12/2009 16:13

Of course not - it is nearly Christmas. Have one for me too as I'm not drinking due to my bump .

Ohforfoxsake · 19/12/2009 16:22

cooking sherry at 10am = bad
Baileys at 4pm a few days before Christmas = essential

BigBadMummy · 19/12/2009 16:22

It is not reasonable.

It is ESSENTIAL.

You go for it. And have one for me.

drlovesmincepies · 19/12/2009 16:41

GetDownYouWillFall · 19/12/2009 16:43

Mmmm hot choc with Baileys!

Tizzyjacko · 19/12/2009 16:44

Cheers! Hic!

TillyMintSpy · 19/12/2009 16:48

I wish

No Baileys here and I'm driving later!

Enjoy

JollyPirate · 19/12/2009 17:17

Nah - I cracked open the bottle at about the same time. Cheers.
The joy of being single - no man to get all sniffy about it being 4pm and me opening the Baileys. It's lush stuff.

milti · 19/12/2009 17:18

Not at all, it's Christmas. x

deaddei · 19/12/2009 17:48

Oh fgs- have another one just to stick 2 fingers up at him1
i am making a Baileys trifle on Xmas day.......

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 19/12/2009 18:00

HAVE A MICE PIE WITH BRANDY BUTTER WITH YOUR bAILEYS

oops caps, sorry

it is the law, anytime after 1pm is ok for Baileys, it's not like hard-core is it ? lol

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 19/12/2009 18:01

and that would be a mince pie

Ohforfoxsake · 19/12/2009 18:02

Baileys Trifle!!! How? Tell me!

NativityApple · 19/12/2009 18:02

If you want to be healthy - make a banana and strawberry smoothie but substitute the milk for Bailey's. Mmmmm
