Anyone going out tonight and wish they weren't?

Got a Christmas event tonight, some of it is outdoors, can't cry off as it would be letting quite a few people down, also kids are excited and has cost ££...

It's going to be horrible and cold!

I want to go to bed with electric blanket on! * weeps *

Wrap up properly, loads of layers, leave the heating on at home so it’s warm when you get in.

Might be a bit quieter because of the weather? Might enjoy it when you get there

We’ve got people coming and I’m going to miss the dancing

Nativityriot · 15/12/2018 16:25

Hurrah, my event’s just been called off! sorry OP, hope it’s not too bad.

Agreed to meet a friend in town. She’s great fun but I’d rather be at home

user764329056 · 15/12/2018 16:27

Yes, have a dinner dance thing that I can’t get out of, dreading it

Noonemournsthewicked · 15/12/2018 16:28

Got mine tomorrow. Lovely sister has unexpectedly planned an afternoon in a posh hotel bar for my birthday. Its definitely more her scene than mine.

I've done two this week. Tonight you'll find me in a onesie eating shepherds pie and watching a Christmas film on the sofa with the cats. Lovey.

Have fun! Xmas Wink

Jackshouse · 15/12/2018 16:30

Nope. I’m just looking out the window glad that I’m not going out.

Holidayshopping · 15/12/2018 16:31

A do that’s part outside-Eek

kitkatsky · 15/12/2018 16:31

Honestly it's the nights I don't want to go out that I usually have the most fun x

PlatypusPie · 15/12/2018 16:32

Yes - going to drinks then a friend’s performance - not far to walk to either but it is lashing it down and it is very cosy in here atm.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 15/12/2018 16:33

I'm going to a concert, and the hall is always freezing. I know I'll enjoy the music, but all my friends are in the choir, so I'll be on my own in the audience missing the Strictly final.

sureitsgrand · 15/12/2018 16:33

It's my Christmas night out. I've had my hair done, but lying on the couch in a hoody and leggings. I'd rather not go, but I know I'll enjoy it once I go

rookiemere · 15/12/2018 16:34

I've just treated myself to luxury Lakeland oven cleaning kit so that's tonights fun !

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 15/12/2018 16:34

And I've just realised I lost one of my nice leather gloves when I was out earlier. Sad

DiaryofWimpyMum · 15/12/2018 16:34

I'm lying in my bed with the electric blanket on, I was out all day and my feet are freezing. Just waiting on the takeaway now!

Try to enjoy 😊

Parmaviolets13 · 15/12/2018 16:35

Meeee!!! A work colleagues wedding reception. I don't drink, so I'm designated driver. It's cold and miserable and I want to stay in and snooze with the cat!

Topsy44 · 15/12/2018 16:37

I had mine last night. I really didn't want to go but braved it. It was held in a marquee and was absolutely freezing! I can sympathise. Make sure you have the heating on when you get home and a big cup of tea with something chocolatey.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/12/2018 16:38

I'm going out but only to the cinema. The weather is vile but the cinema will be cosy and there will be cocktails and mezze available, so hopefully it'll be pleasant once we get there. :)

Conseulabananahammock · 15/12/2018 16:38

Me!! The weather is grim. Rather be eating pizza in my fleecy pjs

mommybear1 · 15/12/2018 16:40

Me. Carol concert tonight in theory should be lovely- reality cold church hall and grumpy DH/PFB 😱

2gorgeousboys · 15/12/2018 16:42

My event has just been cancelled due to the weather. I'm glad really as it means I can stay in and watch the Strictly Final with DS2, fire in, csndles lit and a large glass of r3d wine!

DH has got his Christmas party but is trying to decide whether to bother going.

AlrightBabby · 15/12/2018 16:45

We've just decided not to go to our event, it was all outdoors and I've been drenched once today already! Sofa and takeaway it is!!

Notfastjustfurious · 15/12/2018 16:45

Me! I'm on the bus heading in but it's freezing its windy as fuck and I'm pretty sure I don't even like most of my work colleagues anyway. Seemed like a good idea when it was booked in June. Now not so much.

Howtodeal · 15/12/2018 16:47

Me! Going out for dinner with friends in the next town over, means cabs and a train in this torrential rain. Looking forward to seeing my friends and a nice dinner but not the travel logistics in this weather, getting a cab later is going to be a nightmare. Seriously considering driving and just having one drink with my dinner!
