And who decides when, you, dh, dc?

OP posts:
Whatslovegottodo · 29/07/2016 19:25

No DC yet so joint decision and about every 2 weeks, usually an Indian or noodles.

Maybebabybee · 29/07/2016 19:26

Definitely once a week. Sometimes twice.

annabelcaramel · 29/07/2016 19:27

Roughly one a month. Joint decision.

Writerwannabe83 · 29/07/2016 19:27

Definitely once a week and always suggested by me. I'm ordering one tonight actually Grin

bloodynoris · 29/07/2016 19:27

We have it once a week as a treat on a Saturday night. We hardly ever drink and don't smoke so that's our treat to our selfs every week. Only me and dh so we just decide what we want as we start getting hungry.

IAmAPaleontologist · 29/07/2016 19:27

Dunno, maybe every 3 or 4 months.

TheCricketWidow · 29/07/2016 19:28

Every Friday night..unless we go out for tea, then we wont get takeaway that week.

alleypalley · 29/07/2016 19:29

Hardly ever. Once this year so far. I'd rather go out to a restaurant.

NeedACleverNN · 29/07/2016 19:30

Once a week minimum. Joint decision

Loulou2kent · 29/07/2016 19:30

Too much Blush but will be good from next week. Tightening belts & it's prob one of the easiest ways to save the money!

milpool · 29/07/2016 19:31

Once or twice a fortnight. Sometimes more.

Either me or DH will suggest it.

AliensInUnderpants12 · 29/07/2016 19:31

At least once a month, we didn't used to have takeaways before we had children but now we both just think stuff it and order a takeaway as a treat.

PurpleDaisies · 29/07/2016 19:31

Between once a week and once a fortnight. We both decide. Who lives in a household where they don't have a say in what they eat?

Savagebeauty · 29/07/2016 19:31

Never.
But I eat out a couple of times a week

AnyFucker · 29/07/2016 19:32

2-3 times a week Angry

AnyFucker · 29/07/2016 19:32

That was meant to be a Blush Smile

TwentyCupsOfTea · 29/07/2016 19:32

Around once a fortnight, and probably eat out once a week. Nearly always DP suggestion :)

WibblyWobblyJellyHead · 29/07/2016 19:33

Once a month or less. Used to be every week without fail (on a Friday) but we can't afford it these days.

We've had one this evening though and it was lush. There are five of us though so it was nearly £50 Shock

SweetChickadee · 29/07/2016 19:33

about once a month, more likely to go out to eat. joint decision... no kids yet

FlowerOfTheWest · 29/07/2016 19:33

Hardly ever. Usually only when visiting my parents or when they come here, so maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

WibblyWobblyJellyHead · 29/07/2016 19:33

Oh and DH has the final say (but usually says yes).

MrsKoala · 29/07/2016 19:37

once a week - usually Friday. Usually my decision because dh walks in from work and says 'what's for dinner?' and i look blankly and say whatever we order as i can't be fucked to cook. It will only increase too as we have 2 under 4 and i'm 6 months pregnant. So i anticipate 2-3 times a week in the near future. (the dc never eat it tho, they are fed and in bed by the time dh gets home usually)

pointythings · 29/07/2016 19:39

2-3 times a month, always a joint decision, usually on a Friday at the end of a particularly rough week.

soyvanillalatte · 29/07/2016 19:40

maybe twice a year?

DragonMamma · 29/07/2016 19:40

Once a fortnight. I usually suggest but DH tends to decide on whether it's Chinese or Indian because I'm less fussed than he is.

I refuse to order pizza because it's a massive rip off.
