I don’t want to goooooo

I’m being a mard arse

We’re meant to be going out tonight
But I’m having a disgustingly heavy period, I’m freezing cold (does everyone get cold when they’re on?) and haven’t been able to get warm all day, the baby has a cold, I’m tired, DP is in work in the morning and I can’t even drink because of medication

I just want a hot bath, a pizza and to snuggle up in bed and watch Gogglebox

Someone shake me out of it and tell me I’ll have a really good time when I get there??

Unless it’s somethinb very important I would be tempted to postpone!

itsbetterthanabox · 23/11/2018 16:57

What is it you are meant to be doing?

SgtFredColon · 23/11/2018 16:59

Don’t go!

Unicornandbows · 23/11/2018 17:00

Why don't you have a warm bath and then get ready.. Have it scolding hot so that you are defo warmed up and then go and have some fun! You will regret it tomorrow if you don't go and stay home xx

WishfulSprouts · 23/11/2018 17:00

Cancel stay in and eat the pizza definitely.
I was supposed to be going out for a Xmas meal tonight but have to cancel earlier this week no babysitter am secretly glad now too cold to go out I’ve cranked the heating up and going bed early 👍

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 23/11/2018 17:02

Cancel. Now I’ve got small kids and seemingly a perminant cold between Oct and April that’s always my reaction.

WhyAmISoCold · 23/11/2018 17:08

Nah. I'd be jacking it in for less than that.

sparklepops123 · 23/11/2018 17:14

Hell no, stay home and cosy

NonaGrey · 23/11/2018 17:15

I mostly never want to go, I always have a good time.

DonaldDucksTowel · 23/11/2018 17:28

It’s a birthday party, we’re all meant to be going, kids included

You’re all not helping, supposed to be telling me to stop being a wet blanket

Now I’m seriously considering not going 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t go 🤷🏻‍♀️

EnidButton · 23/11/2018 17:45

Fuck it, don't go. It's freezing, it's dark, it's the end of the week, plus you're having a shitty period. Get a takeaway and stay in.

I don’t want to goooooo

Right DP is home and I’ve ran a bath - I will either use it to wash and then get ready and go, or I shall sink into it and keep topping it up as it gets cold and leave him to do bedtime ...

I’m not sure which one is more likely yet 🤔

OP posts:
BlueTongueSkink · 23/11/2018 17:50

Sorry OP, I wouldn't go either!

DonaldDucksTowel · 23/11/2018 17:51

I’m turning into the person that you stop inviting out because they never come 🤦🏻‍♀️

Have the bath, and when you get out, gt straight into your pyjamas and get a hot water bottle on the go. Just pretend you forgot because you are too poorly.

That's what I am going to do straight after i finish my ice cream.

jellyandsoup · 23/11/2018 17:58

I hate you all! I would live to put my pjs on eat pizza and go to bed and i would love to go out, instead I have to go work a 13 hour shift! Feel my pain!

DonaldDucksTowel · 23/11/2018 18:00

Sorry jellyandsoup that is truly shit ring in sick Grin

I’m in the bath, DP has brought me a brew, this isn’t looking good 🙈

OP posts:
SnailorSwift · 23/11/2018 18:08

Oh god I definitely wouldn't go if I were you!

I'm about to head out in an hour, pregnant but early days so nobody knows, full of the cold and guaranteed to be the only sober person at the entire event 🤦🏼‍♀️
Can't get out of it though as I'm hosting part of the evening. Stay in for me!

Geepee71 · 23/11/2018 18:09

Depends who's birthday party
Are others likely to pull out and leave the host feeling crap?
If you agreed to go, I think you should. Get out the bath, get glammed up and go, even if you only show your face for an hour.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/11/2018 18:10

Mn always says don’t go. Glad my friends aren’t so flaky.

But you’ve already committed.

I’d say go. It’s pathetic to drop out.

Justmuddlingalong · 23/11/2018 18:10

If DP brought you a cuppa through while you're soaking in the bath, I'd say that was a sign he can't be arsed either.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/11/2018 18:12

Poor birthday person ☹️

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 23/11/2018 18:14

Just think how you'd feel if it was your birthday and your friends couldn't be bothered to go. I think that is really crap. I've got a heavy period too. And I've just had a warm bath and I'm lying on my bed in a towel.

Yes it's cold outside but I'm going to get ready soon to go out and see my lovely friends who I would never let down.

Bigonesmallone3 · 23/11/2018 18:18

I'm in the same position, I'm praying DP gets stuck in traffic so it gets too late to go 😂😂
