To think I don't need to book a resturant for this evening.

[LynetteScavo]

DC are all going on sleepovers. (Result!)

This morning I suggested to DH we could go out for a meal, as it's Valentines day. He suggested I book somewhere, but I can't decide where, so said I wouldn't bother booking and we could just rock up somewhere when I've made up my mind. I'm pretty sure on a Tuesday we wouldn't need to book.

DH started shouting "Yarboo, yarboo!" Which, turned out to mean. YABU.

YABU. It is Valentines Day. It doesn't matter that it is a a Tuesday. Restaurants will ramp up their prices too as demand will be so high.

Yarboo lol!

ROFL!! You want to eat in McDonalds then?

Hahahahaha
You are joking aren't you?

Do you need to book at MacDonalds now?

Are you out of your mind?

It's the busiest day of the year in restaurants across the country.

Even if by some tiny smidgen of a chance you managed to get in on a cancellation, you'll probably be crammed up against the wall on a table near the toilet.

Get some nice food from Marks and Sparks or something and save yourself the stress.

Yarbvoooooooo scavo

Grr LadySybil!

YABVU anywhere decent will have been booked out weeks ago...

YABU - restaurants will be full of people going out just because it's V Day.

Do something special at home, nice wine ( at a third of the price you'd pay out) pick an easy cook meal or a supermarket special no-cook range. Make the house nice, good music, no kids, fresh sheets on the bed... Much more relaxing at home.

wind up surely?

Don't book. Just don't go out. You will be surrounded by loved up teenagers trying to impress with over-priced meals and flowers.

Anywhere worth going to will have been booked up ages ago.

Order a takeaway and make sure you have decent wine.

Your husband might be getting a bit too Mumsnetty, if he's actually saying YABU, by the way .

As long as you have no objection to hamburgers, you'll be fine.

I had dinner in a morisson's cafe one valentine's day - that was pretty quiet...

hahah good joke. I'm sure you can rock up at McDonalds though. Anywhere else? BOOK!

Hahahahahaha that's cheered me right up

You might get a table at Pizza Hut.

Yarbu. Heh heh heh

Yarboo!!! Very very yarboo in fact.

It's a total rip off out there on Valentines. So I vote for staying in etc. But if you want to eat out best to book OP

Your DH can be very smug as YABvvvvvvU only the U is unrealistic rather than unreasonable.

You might get in at 6-ish when they open but unlikely.

The M&S offer looks nice!

Hahahahahaha

Your options are:

Burger King
Mc Donalds
Pizza hut (at a push)
Local fish and chip shop
Wetherspoons (bleugh)

You could always phone around on the off chance there's a table. Good luck!
