Ok.....

OH has gone away with all five teenagers for the weekend camping, so that I can complete some university work for a qualification I am working towards. Kids not really keen faces like slapped arses but OH embracing the idea of outdoor bonding, and hoping I will make good progress and join him tomorrow night not a fucking chance

Just did a massive motivated homeward bounding essay rest, and have finished.

Just been to tesco and bought myself some goodies, have just had my dinner:

Ice cold bottle of cava

Bastardisation of a Jamie Oliver recipe I vaguely remember - tiger prawns with chili, garlic and ginger, cooked in lemon juice and olive oil so it seeps through the ciabatta bread I have just lightly toasted, with fresh rocket tossed in at the last minute.....

Baileys Hagen daas ice cream with a liberal helping of double cream poured over........

All eaten in bed whilst in pjs, watching Enders and corrie...... The decadence!!!

Once my cava has been finished, I intend to make myself a liqueur floater coffee with whatever I can find and the last of the double cream, I may also have my Easter double decker in the place of a petit fours. I also intend to purchase an outrageously chick like flick off sky Grin.

AIBU to tell OH I haven't made very good progress and need all weekend to do my uni work? In fairness I will need to do a read thru/spell check once my hangover is gone after a break from the work......

Enjoy your weekend, sounds a lot of fun. I love camping but would rather be in your shoes than your DHs this weekend.

Leave the work on your essay until sunday lunchtime. Bring it out and fill the table you are at with text books, srumpled up bits of paper and a few skanky cups of cold coffee. Assume a harassed, tired look to your face and suggest a takeaway as youve barely had time to eat over the weekend.

Do puppy dog eyes until one of the Kevins offers to run you a bath.

Job done.

I'd vote cointreau and Jane, and lovely cuddles with dog!

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 20/04/2012 21:21

Madame, is that the voice of practised deceit I hear?! Wink

AnEcumenicalMatter · 20/04/2012 21:22

YANBU

Be sure to hide the evidence though so you're not rumbled. You'll have to finish all the booze, ice cream, double cream, chocolate etc and dump the packaging in the neighbour's bin.

MadameChinLegs · 20/04/2012 21:22

Mooohooo Haaahaa (that was meant to be an evil laugh)

MushroomSoup · 20/04/2012 21:22

Bloody big SHOUT OUT to Rhino.
Yes YA (probably) BU (really) but good on ya!!

Blatherskite · 20/04/2012 21:24

Oh that sounds like heaven. You must do it so that the rest of us can live vicariously.

I'll be up at 5-something am with toddler DD in the morning. The closest I'll get to a treat is taking 5yo DS to the cinema and bullying him into trying on the loo 2 or 3 times before we go in to ensure no mid-film toilet trips.

Chilenachica · 20/04/2012 21:29

Defo NU , in fact I am now thinking of applying to Uni so that I use your tactics strategy for studying. For now I'll have to settle for ignoring the family while I concentrate on this here bottle of red. Was that a scream in the background? Never mind, I'm sure my DDs are still aliveGrin

Rhinosaurus · 20/04/2012 21:35

Oooh yes chile don't forget you are doing it for the fahhhmily (a la Mitchell style) to bring more money in and give the kids a good studying role model!

After all, if I had gone to uni when younger instead of having children and getting saggy tits and caesarean scars I would have not missed out all all the fun drinking....

It's def gonna be lunch out tomorrow and not sitting around calor lantern talking about pencil museum. I think I might text late morning and say I am at a crucial point of my analysis, and will phone before I go to the pub get into thinking mode, but then I am going to immerse myself in alcohol my work.

Ooooooh I am pretty bad, I hope karma doesn't get me!

Actually, seeing warren on here reminds me that recently my OH helped himself to my logged in iPad and posted all manner of male fuckwittery interesting comments under my username.

So let's justify my disgraceful and deceitful behaviour by saying I'm getting my own back!

Yabu you made me get a Chinese!

fannybaws · 20/04/2012 21:59

Op you have inspired me, I have already told my oh I am working the night of his dads birthday, which means that he is taking the ds s alone and I will have approx 36 hours to do anything I want! Excited excited excited !
Of course I should tell him the truth which is I just don't want to go and I deserve a night off, but then he would have to either tell the outlaws I don't want to come or lie ( that I am working).

Rhinosaurus · 20/04/2012 21:59

I'm not sure teenagers do bonding, it's not cool. OH has text to say they are in the "clubhouse" and he has put their names down for the village people on karaoke, YMCA, sounds like I am missing all the fun..... Imagining OH doing it with the 13 yo twins whilst the others snarl and look embarrassed, or walk out in search of minesweeping on outside tables and stray bottles of clearisil.....

Ooh fanny I think an annual leave to work that night (forgetting to tell DH) is in order! Ooh hark at me, trying to make myself seem better by encouraging others to be deceitful!

You have 5 teenagers Shock
For that reason alone, YANBU and make it a monthly event!

InsomniaQueen · 20/04/2012 22:26

Sounds like sweet heaven to me - currently doing my 'milking cow' routine for 4wo DD. I'm extremely jealous......must remind DH of all my hard work and effort of late (labour, growth spurts and midnight cluster feeding) and try to convince him he wants to take the baby out for a few hours so I can have a few hours of chill time!!

Good on you OP!!!

Loonytoonie · 20/04/2012 22:29

You clever girl!

toofattorun · 20/04/2012 22:46

I am sorry but you are being VERY UNREASONABLE....where's my bloody invite? Grin

MrFunnytheEasterBunny · 20/04/2012 23:03

Aaargh I am so jealous! It sounds like heaven!

I, on the other hand, will be rudely awoken by a small boy at 6am, and then forced to play with Lego, go to swimming lessons and sit sweating and looking like I am enjoying the hard bench and then probably play with some more Lego or possibly be forced to read the same bloody story stories in crazy voices :-(

Oh how I would kill for a weekend all to myself!!!
