Who's having a takeaway?
(Or a lovely bit of squirrel!)
Tell me your plans.
I really want a takeaway but getting everyone to agree what to have is a ball ache (the perils of having older teens who actually have an opinion 😂)

😆 I love FND especially the Mr Morris episodes. Time for a rewatch!

Hello fellow females!

so many of us rewatching this ( god knows how many times I have watched it)
i am on the episode where Liz the boss is dumped.

do you think we rewatch stuff like this when the outside world gets a bit frenetic? I know I do - it’s like a hug in a series. I rewatched the Detectorists last week.

you will find me sat on the toilet eating cheese.

Having beef stroganoff with rice?

Whilst being eaten, we'll be organising the get together for the Sunday carvery.

ComtesseDeSpair · 06/03/2026 17:05

Stop eating out of the bin again, Martin!

We are having actual Friday Night Shabbat dinner with some friends.

WallyHilloughby · 06/03/2026 17:05

I’m having sheep

Xiaoxiong · 06/03/2026 17:06

I had planned a sausage and white bean and leek bake with a crunchy parmesan breadcrumb top and a green salad, proper lovely comfort food.

But...I've spent all day with a decluttering lady chucking loads of things ahead of moving house and I'm completely wrung out, so we're going out to our local italian down the road instead!! Will do the sausages tomorrow night...

Xiaoxiong · 06/03/2026 17:07

I have to watch FND - I've seen a couple of episodes and absolutely loved them but the kids are a little too young to get the humour still.

Fuelledbylatte · 06/03/2026 17:30

Whatever we’re having, we’ll be careful not to cut up the carrot. 🥕

A Friday night curry for us. Lamb rogan Josh. Can’t wait.

Lemondrizzle4A · 06/03/2026 17:36

Indian take away. First time in months. Salivating at the thought.

RaraRachael · 06/03/2026 17:37

OH is cooking tonight.
It's only Chicken Tonight but he makes excellent roast potatoes.

I don't care what it is if it means I get a night off.

Charcuterie board and focaccia followed by amaretto ice cream and/or masala and cantucci.
Easy prep and very little washing up.

Theyikesdyke · 06/03/2026 17:40

I had a surgical tooth removal yesterday so feeling swollen and sore! I had broth for dinner and wikl follow it up with an ice lolly !

NailsHairNipsHeels · 06/03/2026 17:58

I’m feeling awful thanks to what I think is a chest infection and I was tempted to get a Chinese and break my no takeaway resolution. But I’m not overly hungry and a lot would be wasted so I’m having pasta with chilli and lots of cheese

MrsBridgetMcClusky · 06/03/2026 18:09

Is horrible grandma going to be there? Funnily enough, I saw horrible grandma in an episode of midsomer murders recently. She was playing a nun.

wheretoyougonow · 06/03/2026 18:12

Not sure yet but I will murder my boys if they wear their shoes in the house as I’ve just had the carpets cleaned. I think I might put a note on the front to use the back door.

ItsameLuigi · 06/03/2026 18:16

My daughter has been off school with a sickness bug since Monday (doing better now). I'm currently deep cleaning after dropping them to their dad's. Disinfecting my house top to bottom and then buying myself Korean BBQ!

Sitwithit · 06/03/2026 18:51

A biggish spoon.

MrsLizzieDarcy · 06/03/2026 18:54

DH had a chippy tea - I had a stir fry. No squirrel on the menu tonight.

Now I want crimble crumble.

WhineAndWine1 · 06/03/2026 18:59

Chicken parmigiana with chip courtesy of Tesco meal deal. Thanks to MJ the chips are turning my stomach so just the chicken for me.
