Kids are off to xp's later which I am not looking forward to as I have nothing to do.

Think I will buy wine and drink myself stupid.

Can oyu go out, cinema, gym?

CrackerNut · 06/03/2009 14:25

No one to go with and no funds really either so I'll have to stay put.

I am just so bored of talking to myself you know lol.

Hi Cracker, I've get like this sometimes when my DCs got to XH.
Things you could try are: visit a friend and make yourself their guest for the evening...don't worry about imposing, and anyway most people are pretty supportive if you just saying your feeling a bit crap.
Failing that, get a bottle of wine and a DVD, or watch an old favorite, or even read a book if thats your thing. Or you could pamper yourself, facemask, paint your nails, etc?

Monty100 · 06/03/2009 16:08

CrackerNut, I'll be doing the same. I curl up on the sofa with a bottle of vino, tv and the phone. When I'm bored with that I make a nuisance of myself on here usually do some mning

Monty100 · 06/03/2009 16:08

........ sorry strike didn't work! (again)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 06/03/2009 16:26

Cracker we'll all have our vino on the go later

CrackerNut · 06/03/2009 16:28

Thanks guys

Monty, you need to strike out each word, then it should work.

I have got my wine and some crisps so bring it on

Iam getting better at arranging things to do on Fridays. I was out last week, and do pop round to my friends sometimes if she isn't working, so it isn't as bad as it was I suppose.

Monty100 · 06/03/2009 19:47

Hi Cracker feeling any better?

I haven't got the wine out yet have you? Waiting for a respectable time ie 8pm it to chill.

So what are you all doing?

Lou what's up?

Where's ASBM? Have you gone 'fishing'?

I had an invitation to come for a drink with a guy round the corner who thinks he's in with a chance, except he's not, so I'm not going! I'd rather stay here with you lot.

lou33 · 06/03/2009 19:50

Monty100 · 06/03/2009 19:55

Lou big hug. It's a difficult time. Virtual glass of wine to you.
