What day of the week do you allow yourself a treat? Monday or Friday?

A very nice cafe has just opened close to my work, and I have absolutely no self control so I need to get myself into a routine or else I'll be there daily.

Do I have a nice coffee and sandwich on a Monday to perk myself up, or on a Friday, to celebrate the weekend?

Oh always a Friday!

jellyfishinatent · 24/03/2021 18:29

On a Thursday , when you're exhausted and fed up but not quite close enough to the weekend!

I quite like Thursdays, I seem to get a lot wrapped up.

Friday is a treat all by itself. I say Monday.

I do Saturday as I can stick firmly to my diet rules Mon-Fri. In your case, Monday would feel like opening up the rest of the week to temptation, so I'd choose Friday

Tuesday. Already tired but a loooooong way to the weekend.

Fridays it be busier as poster said Friday is treat enough. How about a mid you made half way Wednesday treat?

Me and DH always have a nice coffee on a Friday morning- whoever is doing nursery drop off collects it. The woman there remarks every week "oh is it Friday again??"

LadyCatStark · 24/03/2021 18:38

Friday

Thursday. As said above. I hate Thursdays. They are not Fridays and u still have two days at work left to go.

Why can't you decide for yourself? How old are you?

Wednesday as a mid week something to look forward to Grin

IHateLilac · 24/03/2021 18:44

I think a Wednesday could prompt a fast slide into unravelling diets as a PP said!

Thursday is my treat day as I weigh in in the morning

The crepe van appears at our local park on Wednesdays after school...I think its going to be a weekly thing.
I want to try a crepe suzette next time (maybe not though as the DC will want to share).

I am quite surprised that coffee and a sandwich counts as a treat. Isn't that just an ordinary lunch kind of thing?

This is why we have take away on Thursdays.

Buying it daily from a cafe? Nope.
mamawithfive · 24/03/2021 19:05

I’d say Wednesday!

Ha! Have you just been on the thread asking for votes between the world's most boring names too? Heee heeee

I live above a Costa. In reality, it's:

Tues or Weds pm-sandwich or something sweet when stressed or busy
Sat morn-coffee and cake which is bliss
