Bluebellwould five AC, eight GC, running a business during a worldwide pandemic and ultimately responsible for people’s livelihoods.
Not being able to visit AC and family members abroad, navigating Christmas and Birthday gift buying distributing etc, all the time with a smile on your face so others are not worried about you and your underlying health problems and protecting yourself from Covid.

So when it comes to 6pm I shut out the world settle on the sofa with a glass of wine and Richard Osman’s House of Games feel free to judge!!!

Bluebellwould it made me laugh when I received it. So I posted it here to hopefully give everyone a much needed giggle. I don’t think we’re at the stage of pouring wine on our cornflakes yet.

I have just re-read my post, it appears very ranty and for that I apologise.

Grannynannywanny Fri 27-Nov-20 11:20:57

GrannyGravy13 no need to apologise. Times are tough and trying to keep a family business afloat must be really difficult in this mess. I hope your family are able to stay afloat and navigate their way into the new year with better times to come.

I've worked practically everyday since March, summer holiday cancelled, Christmas holiday flights cancelled, trying to keep up with demand for toilet rolls and pasta, someone actually thought electricity would be in short supply??????

So I binged on Vicar of Dibley the wholes series plus Christmas specials on iplayer which went very well with gin and tonic and pringles. grin gringringringrin

Very funny, but makes me shudder to think how many of you drink and how you all seem to want/need it.

Unnecessarily judgemental there, don't you think?

Gwenisgreat1 Fri 27-Nov-20 12:04:58

Love your contribution also, Shinamae

knspol Fri 27-Nov-20 12:10:07

Needed something to smile about ???

Mollygo Fri 27-Nov-20 12:17:53

Thanks for that! A laugh is just what I needed, even though I don’t drink. ???

In my 9th decade with bits dropping off.... but happy

IMO you were entitled to a little rant, @Grannygravy.
Cheers, all! ??

I am extremely exhausted and grumpy on the inside, but that is where those feelings will stay!!

I shall continue to smile, spray perfume and carry on?

grin love it Grannynannywanny I've treated myself to a large bottle of Bailey's now waiting for the sun to be over the yardarm !!!

Critical post Bluebellwould don't recall any of us saying we were alcohol dependent.

ALANaV Fri 27-Nov-20 12:47:34

Ha ha ...love that !!!!! I don't drink ...not because I have any objections, but because I simply don't like the taste !!!! so I will maybe open a LARGE bottle of sparkling water ....don't want to ruin the festivities ...............brew smile

I drink like a fish on %Friday’s, I guess that makes me a binge drinker.
Certainly doesn’t make me shudder seeing these very amusing things.
Alcohol is a dangerous thing however I’m sure we all know what we are doing and can do with laugh not a lecture at this point ...........
