He's been decorating the spare room all day. Stopped for a couple of hours to take DS to a party with me. Gave me a lie in this morning. Is generally a diamond.

He stared decorating again after the party and we haven't eaten yet. I said I'd make fajitas but it's knocking on ten pm and my appetite has gone. Really don't want to start chopping onions and peppers now, or whenever he finishes. He said he'd shout down when he was twenty minutes from finishing so I could start cooking.

I'm stuck in to the wine now and have had some crisps. I'm done for the day really. WIBU to abandon fajita idea? He'll be disappointed.

Should also say the reason he's working this late into the night is so we can have a nice family day tomorrow.

Time does fly when decorating - I do most of ours when kids in bed and suddenly it's 3am!

There's a fajita cut-off point? I missed the memo, I had mine at 10pm Blush

EdSheeran · 21/02/2015 23:32

Am I reading a different thread to some people? OP, you are not horrible at all! And I love viennas!

SoonToBeSix · 21/02/2015 23:38

Op if the chicken was still frozen at ten pm how were you planning on making fajitas earlier?

PedantMarina · 21/02/2015 23:42

Hell, I WANT a fajita now, and me no tortillas to to speak of of which to speak...

Damn, I don't even know how to make one from scratch. I have to resign from the next of vipers and join Daily Flail Mums or something

VanitasVanitatum · 21/02/2015 23:54

Fajitas are ridiculously simple why the hell wouldn't you?! Christ if I'd been doing something so physical I wouldn care how late it was, I'd be hungry for proper food. He'll be looking forward to those.

PedantMarina · 21/02/2015 23:54

OK, have just looked up homemade tortilla recipes. AAAnnnnnd Breate...

AlpacaLypse · 22/02/2015 00:01

What's BLATES? Is it a new MN acronym? Or something I should know if I spent any part of my online life anywhere else but loitering around MN looking for a nice kick-off AIBU thread on a Saturday night?

Boysclothes · 22/02/2015 00:12

It's just what the very cool and "happening" people say instead of blatantly/blatant. Caps was for emphasis.

I'm just glad I'm not the only person who didn't know what viennas were Grin. For some reason I pictured ice cream with waffles and chocolate sauce. I googled as well but only the place Vienna came up Grin.
