I know it’s wrong but sod it!

If you buy fruit and nut chocolate then you are adding protein and one of your five a day fruit requirements to your diet ..and much joy to your life.

I am on holiday and for a snack at lunch I ordered Patatas Bravas and was pleased my DH ordered a toastie and fries because he’d leave my patatas bravas alone. But when they came they were a two person portion absolutely a huge plateful and I ate them all. My excuse was ‘ah well I’m on holiday’ I swear DH was giggling behind his toastie. 🤷‍♀️I’m also a lost cause. It’s always my go to excuse. Or there is a ‘Y’ in the day. 🤦 But wow they were yum.

I bet you needed a tipple afterwards!

I certainly did Allira🤣🤣🤣

Co-codamol doesn’t agree with me, I took two so that I could get to a parents evening, the next day the head teacher rang me and said she was extremely disappointed that I had attended whilst obviously drunk

GrannyGravy my friend had to leave me in M&S while she whizzed round to finish her food shopping. I'd taken co-codamol with water after my lunch and was in zombie-like state. Somehow she got me home again.
(Obviously it was the water.)

I’ve done all the above, apart from attending parents’ evenings whilst ‘drunk’ … but then I was the teacher, so that would be REALLY wrong🤣🤣🤣

Loving this thread🖤

Or in my case laying on the bed reading ' just one more chapter' when I should be cleaning the bathroom.

There have been times when 2 co-codamol and a glass of brandy was the only thing for the pain. I think your champagne and prescribed meds is a lot classier.

What about brandy and champagne - with a maraschino cherry to add some class? 😀

Brandy and Babycham used to be a popular drink but the painkillers usually came the morning after.

What a refreshing thread. I live in a constant state of guilt because I enjoy a few glasses of wine and have a few other bad habits.

Let's face it - if you -
Drink too much
Smoke
Get too fat
Get too thin
Don't get enough exercise
Done eat enough fruit and vegetables
Don't watch your BP and cholesterol

And other such warnings, you'll die. Newsflash - no one is getting out of here alive.

At nearly 76, I'm too old to die young so I'll carry on regardless.

I had to struggle in once again showing her my prescription and medication, we did have a giggle eventually, she sent an internal memo explaining the situation.

Rather embarrassing as I was a Mum helper with reading and trips etc along with being a longstanding member of the PTA 🤭

This is imo the best thread on Gransnet at the moment.

Love this thread. It makes me seem normal.

What a lovely lot you are!

I love this thread and at one time or other I'm guilty of doing all the 'wrong' things mentioned here!

Chocolate for me too. The “let’s see how long you can make this bar last” doesn’t last very long. And the “don’t buy it this week” is a non-starter. I fall at the first hurdle!

How does that poem go? "I take my pills with beer, Ive done it all my life. They do taste kinda funny but...."

Oops wrong poem.

And this always calls to me Iam! I printed it off - the late great Lynda Lee Potter musing (and whoever did the drawings, brilliant) and it’s framed on our little apartment in Málaga. It always makes me smile when I visit. 😁

Sago - as my friend and neighbour aged 78 said to me when I refused a gin and tonic - go on, what are we saving our livers for at this stage 🍾.
I must add I’m not advocating binge drinking 😇

Spent most of my Saturday feeling like rubbish-also binge watching and eating the wrong foods like ayse.

Chocolate- it calls to me every evening. If I don’t have any in the house I feel deprived.

I have been known to be that desperate with a migraine, when nothing else worked to take my prescription medication with an extremely large glass of wine.

Wine for a relaxant, meds for pain relief, dark room for hope.

I take mine with a glass of laxido - how are the mighty fallen!!

Best one yet!! 😂

I did take them with water then swigged the wine afterwards.

My SIl's dear Grandmother told me not to take my tablets with coffee, always with water. I often feel guilty if I take them with other than water and think of her.
Thanks for the reminder to take my tablets. Now, should I swig them down with my wine?
