Should I leave the house?

I’m on my own (except dog). Am super tired. Am comfy on the settee having watched Celebs Go Dating and As Rumour Has It.

But I’m starving!! And there’s no food in the house. Don’t even know if the milk is ok.

I kinda want crunchy nut cornflakes and toast.

Should I go out to the shop (5mins away max) or go to bed and forget about being hungry?

Definitely go. You'll just lie awake thinking about being hungry. And you'll need milk in the morning. Go! You won't regret it.

LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 21:53

Maybe if I hang here long enough a nice MNer might offer to go for me

Uber eats? Deliveroo?

Jellyfloodagain · 23/03/2019 21:55

I would order a takeaway if I were you.

Jamhandprints · 23/03/2019 21:56

5 mins! Don't be lazy! Get to the shop.

coughingbean · 23/03/2019 21:58

You can do it! Think how nice it will be when you are back home eating!
I believe in you!

LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 21:58

Uber stuff hasn’t reached these parts and take away will take forever. I have also eaten a very disappointing Burger King today (long drive) which quite frankly ruined my day. So I don’t need more disappointing junk food.

Jam 😳

Thanks Coughing 💪🏻

Should I get chocolate??

Don’t walk OP But if you have a car, pop to the shops. Then you’ll have fresh milk for morning at least.

ElizabethMainwaring · 23/03/2019 22:01

You could have been to the shop and got back by now. Go!

Crabbyandproudofit · 23/03/2019 22:01

Pop round, I have bread and hot cross buns and lots of jams. And cold milk and crunchy nut cornflakes.

TyrionsNextWife · 23/03/2019 22:01

Definitely buy chocolate, you might need the energy for the arduous hike back from the shops Grin

Crabbyandproudofit · 23/03/2019 22:03

And a variety of chocolate products. Starting to sound rather boastful?

ElizabethMainwaring · 23/03/2019 22:04

Get something for the dog too.

squee123 · 23/03/2019 22:04

go or you'll wake up hungry at 3am and the shops will be shut

MollysLips · 23/03/2019 22:06

Come over to mine. I've just been diagnosed as intolerant to gluten and dairy so I've got a house full of delicious milky, bready, biscuity and cakey loveliness that I can't eat. 😢 You're welcome to all of it.

LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 22:08

Elizabeth alright, alright. You sound like my mum 😉

Crabby you’re my hero! Be right round

BTW when I say 5 mins I mean in the car

Tummy is actually rumbling so am definitely going

OP posts:
LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 22:25

I’m back!! Got bread, crunchy but, hot cross buns and I’ll.

Also had a very nice chat with the young man behind the till about his dissertation on 1990s Noir films. Or something

OP posts:
LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 22:33

OMG Ove just realised said young man suggested I watch a film about porn (and murder) 😳

MorningsEleven · 23/03/2019 22:34

Did you get me any Orangina? I really fancy some.

PhilomenaButterfly · 23/03/2019 22:35

Not a chance! I'm in bed. I also have a headful of Hedrin.

S1naidSucks · 23/03/2019 22:36

Well that sounds like a typical conversation with a shop worker. 🤔 I hope you locked your doors and windows, OP.

LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 22:36

Ooh... sexy Butterfly

They’d run out of Orangina, sorry!!

OP posts:
LittleMissFunTimes · 23/03/2019 22:38

He looked tired. He said he was writing a dissertation. I asked what about. I got an answer. Seems fairly typical to me. What do you talk to shop workers about?

Body Double was the film. Just watched the trailer. No way am watching it. Yes doors all locked (goes to double check)

OP posts:
S1naidSucks · 23/03/2019 22:41

Well, not about films about porn, that’s for sure. I’m on the sofa, still nursing a hangover and I want something, but I don’t know what.
