To hate going out on a Saturday night? (lighthearted)

[Gossipgirladdict]

So... I am going out tonight with the girls from work (there will be about 15 of us) and I am so not looking forward to it. Now, there is absolutely no reason for this (I like all my colleagues, we're going to a new place I've been wanting to try etc) other than that it is Saturday night.

I've always been like this. Even pre-DC's I always went out on a Friday night with friends. Saturdays, for me, are about relaxing. All I want to do is get into my pj's, get a takeaway, snuggle up with DD1 (7) to watch Strictly, get the DD's (also have DD2 11mo) to bed and then have a glass of wine or three while me and DH watch a film.

I hate the thought of it getting to tea time and having to start thinking about getting ready etc.... I'm driving tonight (my choice) so haven't even got wine to look forward to!

As I said, there's no reason for this other than the choice of night. If it had been last night - then great! It's a special birthday for one of the others, so I wouldn't dream of not going, and I know I will have a good time even though I only have one week of ML left and being with them all will remind me of that.

I just wish it wasn't tonight! I am the only person to feel like this....?

I always used to prefer going out on a friday, it always makes the weekend feel longer, you still have another day after the one when you feel a little delicate, obviously you wont!

To be honest any night would be great for me atm but our social lives are on temporary hold!

oh totally and utterly agree with you op. I could have written your post.

No you've got it the wrong way round.

I LOVE going out on a saturday. I HATE going out on a friday.

On a friday I'm knackered and just want to get home, get changed and eat. Safe on the knowledge there is no morning routine the next day. By Saturday night I cannot wait to go out and would rather sit in McDonalds on my own than have to watch saturday night tv (which you can normally watch on a Sunday morning anyway)

I could have written your post!

Friday night out is a great end to a busy week.
Saturday night out is pants. Until, like you say, you get there!

I love Saturdays in. Come 6.00 I just want to hunker down and not have to start getting dressed up.

'Girls' nights out (arf, as I'm late forties) should be mid week as far as I'm concerned.

We do love going to social events and nights out as well, but i find it easier in the summer when it's light and warm.

YANBU! I'm the same - Fridays are for going out, Saturdays are for takeaways and movie nights on the sofa.

Strictly Come Dancing and wine=Saturday night. What is this 'going out' thing you speak of.

Out? Saturday Night?

'Tis the time for Strictly and the BitchPod.

still working out how to cope at the MN Christmas Do on the 30th

wine chilling now, browsing take away menu, Jim jams on, perfect sat night.

Can we put our jimjams on already thebody? Fab.

What take away are you having?

These Saturday night plans sound brilliant!!! I love just getting into my PJ's and relaxing with my husband, curled up on the sofa watching Saturday night TV. Bliss

I'm soaking in the bath with DD2 (5). Pjs will go on soon and curry already cooked. Will watch strictly with dd1 (7) and popcorn.

I too would struggle with going out now!

It's blowing a gale and raining out there. Really not a night for going out.

Its manky out. And ds is on an incredibly rare sleepover, and dh and I could have pottered to a nice pub with a fire, then an early night, but we have to go out with the ILs and DHs brothers at a poncey restaurant 1/2 an hour drive away

Weather awful, I would be changing plans and staying in

I don't like going out any night of the week.

I used to live for going out - 4, 5 even 6 nights a week. I loved socialising, chewin' the fat with folk. I was a pub rather than a nightclub person.

Now though - crap tv, cosy house, comfy sofa and mega glass of wine and I'm happy and contented.

Ds away on his hols at granny's so dh said we have to go out

All I want is a takeaway, wine and a film!

So am sat here waiting on a taxi to go out for dinner with dh. Will be lovely I'm sure but wanted a takeaway tonight. Weather crap - want the fire lit and into snugly stuff on sofa with blanket

Right. I am ready. I have to go, I'm picking a friend up in 5 mins (she lives 10 mins away-oops). I just had to say, those of you boasting about your chilling wine, take-always and pj's - I Hate You All...!

The weather is utterly foul here too...

YANBU OP. I don't like going out any night of the week.

It is always a colossal faff and expense and all the time I am wishing I were home on the sofa with cheese and onion crisps and some crap on the telly.

Well,

I went. And... I had a really good time. A really, really good time even without any wine! The food was fab, the craic was good. I ended up staying much later than I'd intended to was too much fun watching all the others drunk. And no hangover this morning!

Still, I know without a doubt that I will groan inwardly next time we are trying to organise a night out and someone says "I can only do Saturday x date..."

Hope you all enjoyed your cosy night in!
