to take myself out for Mothering Sunday. Alone?

[AtYourCervix]

I love the Ds passionately but my god they can be unutterably vile sometimes.

SO having handed over the gifts, sulked through church and come home in raging foul moods I am tempted to drive off and leave them to it.

I shall go and buy myself a good book and go and find somewhere picturesque to read it. IN PEACE.

ANd when I get home I expect the house to be tidier than it is now.

[GypsyMoth]

sounds good to me!!!

[Maelstrom]

I think that is an excellent idea. the house getting tidier during your absence it is an unlikely expectation though.

[MorticiaAddams]

Sounds perfect.

[AtYourCervix]

i also expect homework to be finished, rooms tidied and a decent meal waiting for me.

Yanbu. I've actually had a lovely morning and am looking fwd to afternoon in park and visiting mil and dp's family, but secretly I'd love to slope off for a rare spot of solo shopping and take myself out for lunch.

Hope your day improves whatever you do

[Maelstrom]

Just go out, get your book, have some peace, and ... turn the lights off when you come back. No expectations, no problem.

[Maelstrom]

I like that phrase... "Take myself out for lunch" :)

[HipHopopotomus]

The act is even better than the phrase maelstrom :)

[AtYourCervix]

me too. I am about to 'Take myself out for lunch'

[HipHopopotomus]

Hooray!

Can i Join you ? Dh has bought ds (12)a card & gifts to give me , hung them on ds's door but ds still has not given them to me even though both dd's handed me their gifts in front of him & he has now gone out to play

[Maelstrom]

Gosh I could get some babysitting I would be already out.

[Animation]

Well if they've been vile - that's a bit off. So perhaps you should go our and find some peace - it is YOUR day.

Mine - I must admit are quite attentive on Mother's Day - they're probably older than yours though.

[choceyes]

I'm going to do the same! Although won't be for long cos DD will need to be fed. I intend to enjoy my lunch while I can"!
