It's not to early to have a glass of wine is it?

Because I've opened a bottled of very chilled white. Dc have gone to their dad for the weekend and for once he actually picked them up at the time he said he would, he's usually anything up to 2 hours late. I had arranged for my Dad to be here just incase he arrived on time. I missed them by 15 mins, have sent dd a text but feel a bit empty at having not said ggodbye to them, did say it this morning but it's not the same. So I'm going to have a bath, a glass or 3 of wine & get into my pj's.

Your order is all wrong - poor wine have bath with wine in hand

Go for it. If you are anything like me then I sometimes wish I had time to myself, then when I get it I do housework or some such nonsense.

Have a glass for me. DD is at a panto tonight with brownies and needs picking up at 10.30 so no wine for me

Have a glass or two why not. You know what I might just join you but in spirit only obviously. Enjoy.

It's going down nicely, I've painted my toe nails and I've got a potato baking in the oven ready to settle down in front of the tv.

I've got a drink on the go at the moment. It's a Cherry B!

Left over from Christmas. I bought some, because I remember Mum having them when I was a child and I wanted to know what they tasted like.

again!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/01/2009 22:20

you devil you!!

girlandboy · 09/01/2009 22:23

Finished the Cherry B!

Quite nice, though slightly reminiscent of cough mixture.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/01/2009 22:25

what next out of that drinks cabinet then lol!!

girlandboy · 09/01/2009 22:31

There's only a Babycham I'm afraid.

Went a bit retro this year

maidenvoyage · 09/01/2009 22:37

well i have just poured myself a very well deserved vodka and coke. Had a crap week lol, went for second interview and fell flat but they have offered me a third to make up for it and now I dont even want the job. So bottoms up everyone

x x

girlandboy · 09/01/2009 22:39

Cheers!

What's the job maidenvoyage?

maidenvoyage · 09/01/2009 22:46

accounts manager, first interview excellent and called me back for second, that one was held by the most obnoxious man i have ever met. Arrived late due to parking was in a fluster and forgot everything I have ever learnt. For some reason he has given me a second chance and they have called me back to give it another go. Problem is I have a gut feeling that working for him will be a royal pain in the ass. On the other hand been made redundant so If i got offered it I will have to take it. God where is that bottle lol

girlandboy · 09/01/2009 22:48

The job might not be as bad as you think! [hopeful emoticon]

If you get the job, you can always start looking for another.

Finished the Babycham already! The bottles are too small

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/01/2009 23:04

hehe didnt even think that they still made it
you'll be knocking up snowballs next lol!!
maidenvoyage it's crap having to take work just for the sake of it
am looking too at the moment and it all seems to be about compromise
still let's not get down
[raise a overfilled glass emoticon]

maidenvoyage · 09/01/2009 23:28

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/01/2009 23:39
