I'm on the wagon (ish) so just having a yet another bloody lovely cup of tea smile

Used to be a lovely chilled dry white wine but one has to make sacrifices in search of the body beautiful!

A lovely gin and bitter lemon . I picked up the latter by chance the other day and just love it with gin . Took me a long time to discover this .

I'm just having my first cup of coffee of the day

DanniRae Wed 07-Aug-19 07:55:45

My first mug of tea - Sainsburys Red Label - the best cuppa of the day! smile

A glass of soluble paracetamol, I’ve got a cold, and a long day ahead of me at work

Tea in a moment. DH just coming up the stairs

My wake-me-up tea in a chamber pot (extra large china mug) listening to neighbours setting off for work and my husband
snoring purring in bed!

Thanks Jane!

I'm sitting outside my flat admiring my 'garden' with a lovely cup of tea. smile

Yes they are NanKate.

Just finishing my second glass it was lovely chilled. Mummy, daddy of 2y old are on their way back up now by a taxi with their 7y old who went with them for a ‘big boy’ meal on the marina out here.

One shattered grandma off to bed very soon!

Nice cup of tea. Gave up ALL alcohol almost fifty years ago and never looked back.

Bathsheba Tue 06-Aug-19 22:04:03

A cup of lovely, calming chamomile tea smile

merlotgran Tue 06-Aug-19 22:02:46

A nice glass of chilled Pinot Grigio.

Merseybelle2 Tue 06-Aug-19 21:54:08

Our nerves are shot due to a difficult sad time ( see Argy thread for details ) made worse by NO WHITE WINE left ! Magoo and I are on the Scotch now smile

Jane10 Tue 06-Aug-19 21:48:29

Congratulations Dolcelatte! Quite the best reason to break out the bubbly ?

Minniemoo Tue 06-Aug-19 21:40:57

I have just opened a bottle of Baileys. Christmas present. I now know why I didn't open it before. Terribly sickly and clacky.

KatyK Tue 06-Aug-19 21:37:46

Just about to have a glass of Piano Grigio smile

NanKate Tue 06-Aug-19 21:34:04

You deserve it Urmston. Cheers.

Are two small bottles of cava the equivalent to half a bottle - just asking ?

Urmstongran Tue 06-Aug-19 21:12:57

Just poured my second mini cava. Well deserved. Been childminding the 2y old since noon. Shes asleep in her travel cot. Bliss.

Magnatise water 90% of the time occasional coffee and very very occasional brandy or vodka

BBbevan Tue 06-Aug-19 21:07:35

Ladies !!! Where did that come from

BBbevan Tue 06-Aug-19 21:06:49

Just had turmeric,lemongrass and ginger tea. Quite palatable but not my favourite. Ladies

Liz46 Tue 06-Aug-19 20:28:25

We've had two young GC today. They have gone and I am drinking brandy. Back on duty tomorrow! I think I am now too old for a 4 year old boy.

WOODMOUSE49 Tue 06-Aug-19 20:20:00

2nd glass of Sainsbury's Pinot Grigio Blush. Been a frustrating day.

MissAdventure Tue 06-Aug-19 20:15:13

I shall be glad when its gone.

Grandmama Tue 06-Aug-19 20:13:53
