Mines a G&T. Slice of lime and make it a double!!!
DP has gone to fetch the little darlings so I'm making the most of the peace and quiet!!!

Lostinsuffolk · 23/03/2012 18:34

Wondering whether I should start a thread on home made booze. Having a go at sloe vodka this year ...could be messy!? Lol so who's doing the toast then?

purpleroses · 23/03/2012 18:34

And to make things worse I have a half bottle of red sitting in front of me that my friends didn't finish last night Envy

Not sure I'm quite entitled to be here this weekend though - this is one of my single parent weekends when DP and I are largely in our own houses with our own DCs still - it's the alternate weekends when mine are at their dad's that I'm round at his all weekend playing stepmum.

purpleroses · 23/03/2012 18:36

Lost - not tried sloe vodka but sloe gin is lovely :)

My mum made raspberry vodka once though - and that was very nice too.

Not really homemade alcohol though as you have to buy the alcohol to start with. I have a demijon of wine on the go for that, but so far not tasting too great

Lostinsuffolk · 23/03/2012 18:51

Yeah techincally I'm not making the vodka but turning it into some yummy fruit alcohol sounds great thou....! Never tried making wine but an attempt at beer was really not good on many levels! :)

OhChristFENTON · 23/03/2012 20:01

I need wine.

Have none.

Nuff sed.

chelen · 23/03/2012 20:20

I have kids asleep and DP out so the sofa to myself - this is my idea of bliss. I am happy on the Brew tonight but think I will definitely hit the chocolate.

OCF - I have a bottle of mead left over from a party four years ago - shall I send that round? I have kept it for emergencies.

purpleroses · 23/03/2012 20:22

YY to mead :)

But have now run DD back from the disco so can at least open the Wine

chelen · 23/03/2012 20:25

Cheers! Did DD enjoy the disco?

purpleroses · 23/03/2012 20:42

thanks. She had a great time, and has come back with smuged mascara on applied by her friend. She's 8 Shock

chelen · 23/03/2012 20:46

Shock indeed! Have another drink to get over the shock

purpleroses · 23/03/2012 20:46

Will do :)

OhChristFENTON · 23/03/2012 21:07

I now have wine.

Life is good.

EverybodyKnows · 23/03/2012 21:12

I'm on the wine as well

WinterLover · 24/03/2012 07:17

Would it be too early to enjoy a tipple? Wink

OhChristFENTON · 24/03/2012 11:50

nenevomito · 24/03/2012 18:10
