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.

Fascinating Aida have nailed the kind of people who say 'blates' .

According to the teenagers I teach, it's what the middle-aged say to try to pretend that they are still cool and 'with it' and in fact just reveals how helplessly behind the times they are Grin See also totes, innit and amazeballs.

OP, given that you have fish balls and Viennas, I sincerely hope you are providing your poor, overworked, shagged and hungry DH with bagels and smoked salmon this morning?

God, last night had Chinese takeaway written all over it.

What's on the menu today boys Smile

Today DH had more egg on toast for his breakfast. Made it himself.

I'm having a nap now so he will sort his and DS lunch.

Dinner is takeaway at a friends.

No weird food. No bagels either, I don't want him getting comfortable.

I can't imagine a world where I didnt eat until 10 pm, then decided I couldnt be bothered. What madness is this ? :)

Never heard of either viennas or fish balls, both sound absolutely vile.

Anyway YWNBU OP. I would have ordered a take away, eaten my share and gone to bed by then.

I hope you're not invited to the home of someone Jewish with that attitude. Grin

Don't understand? Fajitas take about 7 minutes total. And 10pm isn't that late Confused

MumToFourCats · 22/02/2015 15:50

Am I the only one imagining the vienna served with 2 fishballs in a phallus symbol? Grin

I decorate pies with a pastry phallus

DeliciousIrony · 22/02/2015 17:14

People get a stick up their arse about some funny things on here OP, don't worry Wink Glad that you slyly avoided Fajitagate in your house.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 22/02/2015 17:28

Needabumchange surely it depends what time you get up? I'm up at 5.30am with DD so wouldn't want to be cooking and eating at 10pm!
