I bloody well am...life is a bit crap at the moment so I need stuff to look forward to.

Tonight it's getting the kids to be, ordering a curry and drinking wine on the sofa.

Definitely wine. Had an Iceland delivery so pizza for later. Sod the diet this weekend. It's been a bastard of a week.

Wine already in hand. Contemplated takeaway but felt a little decadent.

WaterIsWide · 27/03/2020 17:52

Eh ?

All the takeaways are closed aren't they ? Our local and very good Chinese takeaway closed very quickly last week. Shame, I was looking forward to a Chinese take away from there.

Oh yeah[big grin] I reckon the garlic and chilli will do for any germs!

Tr1skel1on · 27/03/2020 17:54

Not me! Rural area, no option to even if I wanted.

DH would love a Chinese, hey ho

Dunarunner · 27/03/2020 17:54

Who are all these husbands banning takeaways? Fuck that.

forrasee · 27/03/2020 17:55

Not a chance. What is the point in distancing if you then eat something that multiple people have breathed over and touched?

JigsawsAreInPieces · 27/03/2020 17:58

I'd love to get a take away, I dream about getting a take away, of anything, at all. No one delivers where I live. Not one single one

Me too. We do have a chippy, part-time, that’s 3 evenings 4 pm until 7:30 pm and Saturday 11 am-1 pm but they've closed for the duration. Sad

We are lucky to have an Indian restaurant next door which is now just doing take out meals so that us sorted for tonight and I'm already on the pink gin 🥤

buttcrackmcheese · 27/03/2020 18:01

Wine poured at 5.30 and takeaway to follow later when the kids are in bed 🙌🏻

DavetheCat2001 · 27/03/2020 18:01

My favourite curry house is open for deliveries..we're in London though so probably a bit spoilt. I have no qualms about having a takeaway..I'm spending my days surrounded by children of key workers so I'm in the hot seat already.

First glass of wine going down very nicely Grin

A lot of our restaurants have had to be creative and are offering takeout on their menus.
They are being strict about paying by contactless and how they are delivering.

YoungBritishPissArtist · 27/03/2020 18:03

Not having a takeaway as I can’t afford it, that’s the only reason! Making a huge pan of curry and will be cracking open the chocolate later...

NeverYouMind123 · 27/03/2020 18:04

Fuck the takeaway 🍷

ShowerTheHorse · 27/03/2020 18:05

No takeaway here but DP is cooking and yes I’m having wine GrinWine just opened the bottle!

Likethebattle · 27/03/2020 18:05

Waiting on my chippy as husband had ordered to pick up on his way home from work. No alcohol as i’m on anti-biotics that have made me feel a bit unwell.

IamChipmunk · 27/03/2020 18:05

Wine also on the go here. No takeaway tonight but may consider it tomoro with a bit more wine!
Have a pizza in the freezer and onion rings so may default to that if needed!
Not sure how i feel about takeaway, our local pizza and Chinese are both excellent. Should i contribute to making the nice delivery people deliver and is it the safest idea.
I expect we will stick to the frozen pizza...

ScissorsBike · 27/03/2020 18:06

Thank God for Deliveroo. Tip your driver, folks! (Digitally, of course)

TiredofSM · 27/03/2020 18:06

I have rose chilling in the fridge right now. Just waiting for the kids to go to bed. Haven’t drank at home in about a year, but after this week, I’ll probably get through the bottle.
Chin chin.

MinnieMountain · 27/03/2020 18:08

We're having takeaway and beer tomorrow.

Fedupandpoor · 27/03/2020 18:09

I want some alcohol Sad My food shop came but missed out the crate of beer. I obviously can't stroll down to the shop just for alcohol, so I'm drinking tea and sulking.

SleepyNightOwl · 27/03/2020 18:15

No wine for me but definitely a takeaway. Cannot be fucked cooking and have earned it by cleaning out our cupboards lol

SleepyNightOwl · 27/03/2020 18:16

Knocksomesense why has he banned takeaways?

Figgygal · 27/03/2020 18:16

Already on the wine husband tried three local chip shops to no success so it’s emergency pizzas for tea

I can’t get over how loud two small children can be

TomPettysTopHat · 27/03/2020 18:22

Yes curry and wine. And just having a little disco in my kitchen
