DH is out for the night! I'm getting a Chinese and going to watch shit on tv.

Hurrah!

Love DH v v much, but I like it when he goes on a night out!

I'm going to scoff a Chinese and a bottle of fizz, and I'm trying to decide what utter shite to watch. I'm leaning towards old ANTM or maybe Greys Anatomy.

Does anyone else love when DH clears out for a night?

It's the best thing ever!! What are you going to watch?

tootiredtobother · 18/11/2021 17:43

dam if it was Saturday I could join you

IhateBoswell · 18/11/2021 17:44

Yep 👍🏻

SoftPillow · 18/11/2021 17:46

Love a sneaky solo night in.

I have something like beans on toast, light the fire and watch something like Downton Abbey or a soppy film.

And then into bed where I can strettttch out across the whole width. Delightful.

Enjoy!!

This was last Sunday for me. Love my DH to pieces but really enjoy a Chinese and trashy tv night all by myself (once kids are in bed!)

twilightcafe · 18/11/2021 17:49

You lucky thing!

harper30 · 18/11/2021 17:55

Oh my god mine is out too and I'm going to do the same thing!!!!!!
I'm going to watch tiger king series 2 when my daughter is in bed and get some Thai ordered! Prosecco is in the fridge.
WE ARE WINNING!!!!!!!!!

(I feel mean being this overjoyed that he's not here 😂)

Burnt0utMum · 18/11/2021 17:58

Yes I love this! Absolute rarity for me though as he's not one for nights out so is normally home before I go to bed.

felulageller · 18/11/2021 18:00

I can go to my room and watch and eat whatever I want whenever I want. I can't imagine a relationship where you can't do this?? [Confused]

user159 · 18/11/2021 18:00

This will be me on Saturday night and I can't wait!

Grey's is also one of my go to programmes!

Enjoy!

FrenchBoule · 18/11/2021 18:02

Ooh,enjoy 🙂🙂🙂
Grey’s definitely (on season 11 now wondering how the heck i missed it)

LemonDrizzles · 18/11/2021 18:07

You are right. My go to show is scandal - certainly a sister show of greys anatomy.

weegiemum · 18/11/2021 18:07

Mine is out at least once a week all night (work). I used to do what you're planning and now I'm desperately trying to lose the weight!

@felulageller obviously I could go eat alone in the bedroom anytime I fancy but it's not really about that, it's about having the house to myself, watching trash on tv he wouldn't be interested in, just enjoying time on my own which isn't in the bedroom? Having the house to myself?

Plantsandpuddlesuits · 18/11/2021 18:10

Used to love this prechildren! Now I can't relax incase they wake up!

Mines a veggie hot and sour soup, salt and pepper tofu, egg fried rice, carton of curry sauce, vegetable chow mein as a side and a can of diet coke please!

Plus silent witness on TV

chonkybuoy · 18/11/2021 18:12

I love DH but he's one of those healthy bastards that would order stuffed vine leaves and hummus from the kebab shop when I'm getting a large donner.

So I'm going full MSG tonight, chicken balls, fried rice, crispy beef etc.

I think I'm going to go with Greys. I've watched it all chronologically many times, I was thinking that I might just watch the death episodes (George, Marc, Derek) so I can have a proper pissed prosecco cry on my own without him laughing at me GrinGrin

Oh I hear you! DP was out on Friday. I had a jacket potato and Pitch Perfect 3!

GTAlogic · 18/11/2021 18:14

Yes! When the dc are in bed I order a dominos and watch all the programmes I have saved that he hates!

I've just lost 9lb so I thought I'd treat myself 😬

This is why I lose and gain the same weight constantly.

I read the title too fast and had a horrible mental image Blush

Enjoy!

THisbackwithavengeance · 18/11/2021 18:20

My DH is on nights tomorrow. I am planning beans on toast, a big glass of Xmas Baileys and back to back episodes of the new Dynasty.

He's just as bad when I am work during the day and he's at home only he watches Law & Order or Sharpe and eats bacon sandwiches.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 18/11/2021 18:21

Me too with dh being out until late. Going to put in a pizza and play Xbox. Putting DD to sleep after Beavers. Hopefully she'll be knackered. Don't drink so it'll be pop and coffee for me Grin omg I might have a bath!!

Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep · 18/11/2021 18:26

I adore DP. When he's at mine I'd rather be with him. However when he's not there I enjoy being able to be self centred. Win win!
I totally get this.
