New Year's Inn

Anyone fancy a FWR virtual drink and chat? I've had a shit day at work, home is shit right now, and I burst into tears in the womens locker room I was so stressed. And now there's a bloke at the bus stop who wants to have a cheery chappy chat and I just want to be left alone!

I'm not going out on NYE. So I reckon I can drink as much virtual Southern Comfort and coke as I like in here.

What'll you have?

Sounds like the worst cocktail ever. I’m in...

Mmm, party food. I think I need to check the freezer and see if we have any cocktail sausage rolls left.

I bought four packs of 12 pigs in blankets that were in the freezer for months. I ate two. Not one fucking pig left now, nor any blankets.
I did have all the twiglets though. And haven't opened the stollen yet, so that should line the stomach nicely.

Oh I need to get some twiglets now.

I’ve just accidentally eaten a box of mint matchmakers.

Can still taste mould...

Drinks on me, what's everybody having?

Annoying ads but weirdly satisfying.

Probably cos I'm sat here doing nothing at all.

I'll join you if I may, nursing peppermint tea as I already had a glass of wine. Have had a headache now since middle of October and MRT not until 9 Jan. Was supposed to be off work from 23 to 2 Jan but spent Friday and today working because there is so much to do. Got fed up with teenage DD being a teenager and started to take decs down on Boxing Day.

Gin and tonic for me please. Do you have one of those interesting ones with flavours and bits of fruit and posh tonic? (Don't know much about all this ginology but very willing to give it a bash) cheers Mumsnetters 😀🍸

Put your feet up Bienchen, I've got a nice soft comfy chair you can use.

Taking the dec's down on boxing day? - it must have been a really tough day.

Had some Chinese, so less bothered about the lack of pigs in blankets. It was a big vodka, so I'm a wee bit flushed!

Thanks Wrath, it was, someone else can take care of Christmas next year, I am done!

Liking the hair Floral.

How about some music? I'm in a guitar and nonsense mood. Some Hey Dude fits the bill, I heard this a few weeks ago and I was chuckling about the lyrics.

Takeaway eaten. Wine located.

I am drinking my favourite fizzy cocktail it's called Emile Ratelband.

This cocktail makes me happy.

I think blue hair needs reclaiming. Some of mine is blue. It's a tricky colour to maintain though, fades to greenish sludge rather quickly.

I like to think of my blue, not as woke, but as a reimagining of the take no shit blue rinse brigade, ready with their reusable string bags for shopping, and a sharp word for scruffy young men with their trousers hanging off their arses.

You don't see many blue rinse ladies any more, sadly. I'm not sure if have the patience to sit under one of those big machines in the hairdresser's every Monday.

Floral
Yes.
Take no shit blue, together with the most effective Greta Thunberg stare.

Mulled cider here, lovely
Like the hair Floral , never had blue hair as such, but used to dye my hair so black it was blue iykwim.

Oh the blue lavender rinse, sooo popular in its heyday.

I’ve got a stash of different gin and different tonics I’m happy to mix up. I have no idea what goes with what so we’ll have to try all combinations if anyone is game?

Currently trying to wrestle DD into bed. She has decided it’s time to have a 20 min poo...

I actually really don't like gin. It comes in very pretty coloured bottles, but it's like drinking perfume. Same with Earl Grey tea, actually, smells quite pleasant, but it's just warm perfume.

I am watching Some like it hot 😉
"Well, nobody's perfect," Mushroom. One of the best of all time!

Make mine a large glass of red tonight, please.

Love that style of hair.
