I miss the days of work travel 😭

I once went posh and nipped into Pizza
express for a takeaway large pizza and went crazy and added a dessert too - was bliss demolishing that in bed whilst watching crap telly (this was pre MAFS/Love Island etc)

have been there with KFC too though - boneless banquet all the way for me (obligatory gravy as one of the sides)

Absolutely love doing this. Hotel room ALONE: takeaway, wine and junk telly.

I managed to swing this once on Boxing Day. It was exactly where I wanted to be.

So pissed you don't remember drinking the wine

JayJayEl · 23/10/2024 15:29

Oh my god you absolutely were living the bloody dream!!! My wife has had THREE solo hotel stays in the last few weeks (for work) and I've been at home with our tantruming three year old. To say I'm jealous (of both you and her!) is a fucking understatement. Girl (Woman) power, @SadSandwich !! ✌

Oooh, I once got a chicken shawarma on humus with a flatbread from a local takeaway and a Pret chocolate mousse I picked up at the station in a hotel. Then a hot chocolate, face mask and an early night. Very jealous OP!

👌

CheerfulBunny · 22/10/2024 23:17

You lucky duck, OP. I once spent a lovely evening in a hotel room in Scotland, fish, chips and mushy peas from the chippy across the road, new Agatha Christie film on Netflix, dark and pouring with rain outside. Absolute bliss. OH had gone out to a meeting then dinner with his workmates. Man, I was so snug and happy 😊

Underbudget · 22/10/2024 23:15

Love it OP.
You're the envy of mumsnet right now.

Feeling the love
and it’s now 23.14 and will attempt to have a sleep. The premier room is cold so menopause body is feeling good about that. I’m totally focused on whether I will wake at 8 for a shower and then leave or wake at 7.30 for breakfast shower then leave.
fucking brilliant.

Do not touch your eyebrows if you have been drinking, fully appove of KFC order. Mine is boneless meal with Pepsi max and beans

Came here to say this 😂 DON’T! Living the dream, OP.

Bruceycake · 22/10/2024 22:47

I totally get this. I literally got asked on a date the other day and thought oooo no I want to watch MAFS in bed in my pyjamas and get a takeaway. It’s a feeling that simply cannot be replicated by anything else.
