The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[not_so_insig]

I am ok apart from I keep on getting outbid on ebay. Twice I have lost an auction today. Both video games related. But I have the same items ending again in the next 12 hours so I am not too upset.

[Voldemort]

Fingers crossed you'll win them.

[Sketchy]

Got my fingers crossed too Dawn.

Right, I'm going to log off for now. I have a glass of wine to pour and I want to put the telly on for casualty. Catch you all later. X

[Cacoethes]

Fingers crossed for you dawn!

Bye Lorraine! Enjoy casualty! :)

[Voldemort]

Enjoy, Lorraine!

[not_so_insig]

I am having wine with my mum when Casualty starts. Red wine doesn't agree with me so I am having a chardonnay. I will be gone for several hours once Casualty starts.

[Voldemort]

Sounds like a good evening to me, Dawn.

[Cacoethes]

I can't drink red wine either. I drank too much of it one time and was very very sick!!

Yay casualty is on!

[Voldemort]

I don't like wine. Cider or vodka for me.

[Cacoethes]

I prefer champagne or prosecco to wine!
But cider is nice. And vodka and red bull. And some ales. And shandy is a nice summer drink.
I tend not to drink these days though!

[Voldemort]

I'm not a big drinker either. I plan on getting drunk at Christmas though!

[Cacoethes]

It wouldn't be Christmas without being slightly drunk!
Except my mum is AWFUL with me drinking.
It's all 'you shouldn't be drinking on your meds' and 'haven't you had enough?' And 'that's it, no more'
Like I'm not 25 years old and can't make my own decisions!
And yes, I shouldn't drink a lot on my meds but she doesn't say anything about my step dad who is also on meds (including benzos) and drinks a fair amount!

Sorry, rant over!!

[Voldemort]

Haha. You're ok. The rant is allowed. That would get very irritating indeed! Ritzi doesn't say too much tbh. I'm allowed as long as it's not all the time. I don't drink much so a once off here and there is ok.

[Cacoethes]

I don't drink much either. Tbh I've become a bit of a lightweight in my old age!
But there's absolutely no problem with letting go once in a while!!

[Voldemort]

Exactly!

[Cacoethes]

I'll probably have a couple of glasses of prosseco and not much more. Mainly because my mum will go into maximum overdrive mum mode!
And my brother gets in on it too. He'll ask if anyone wants a beer, I say yes and then he goes to mum to ask her if it's ok!!! My YOUNGER brother!!!

[Voldemort]

Ugh! Siblings! My brothers get drunk and twattish.

[Cacoethes]

My brothers just get drunk and have heated political debates!

[Voldemort]

There's been more than one Christmas that's ended with me crying in the bathroom because they said something cruel.

[Cacoethes]

Siblings can be awful at times. Best to ignore them, although I know that can be hard.

I'm off to bed now. Good night and sleep well! :)
