And I can't wait!!

DH away for work, and dc's are off for a sleep over (thanks Inset!)

Already trying to decide to I get a takeaway, or head to the shops and pick up some nice treat bits 🤔

I have no idea how I'll spend my evening, I've almost forgotten how to spend time alone, with out someone shouting out 'mum!'

I am SO jealous. I haven't had a night alone in the house since before DD1 was born.....so over 6 years now!

I'd cook myself a nice dinner, have a long bath and watch a film with a glass of wine.

Hope you have fun!
I haven't had a night to myself since 2010 hahaha!
I don't mind though. I'd have a long pamper session, watch a film all the way through with no interruptions, listen to good music on loud, I agree about the bath soak and cooking a nice meal x

Phew, I thought you were going to say you were scared or something and I was going to give you very short shrift (widowed parent and SO tired right now). Have a lovely time!

Oh definitely takeaway - no washing up or cleaning up!!
Enjoy, I don’t think I’ve had a night alone in my house ever 😱 if on the rare occasion the dc are all out overnight it’s usually because dh and I are out together or separately with friends, but then we are both home overnight!
If DH is away I’m at home with the dc.
However I do now wfh a lot of the time so I’m often along during the day (working though so it’s not the same but it’s still nice!).
