To order a takeout just for me?

[Pregnantgrumpygal]

LIGHTHEARTED

So the power went out here an hour ago and there’s no sign it will be sorted soon. DH has gone to work on nights in my car, his is trapped in the garage behind an electric door. So I’m here all alone, in the dark, no Netflix, nothing. I’m hungry but can’t open the fridge or use the oven. Can’t even boil the kettle to make a brew. Not that I can get the milk anyway. I could heat up some soup on the gas hob, but who the fuck wants soup for tea. Not even got any fresh bread.
So I’m on just eat and contemplating spending the best part of £20 to get some nice person to bring me food
AIBU? Should I just be eating the soup

Why are you even asking? Of course order a takeaway.

I've not seen many replies like that on similar threads! Well , you're managing to Mumsnet! How long do you think you're without power-are you getting any updates from anywhere?

Just for @AuntMatilda
NO THEY ARE REALLY BAD FOR YOU!

Hehe, enjoy your takeaway

I did on Friday from Wagamamas. DH doesn't like it so we never go but sod it I love it! Takeaway for 1 yummy!

In those circumstances I think getting a takeout may be a legal requirement!

When I lived alone, every Friday night was a takeaway just for me. The local Chinese knew my order. DH doesn't really like Chinese so it's my treat on the rare occasion I'm home alone.

Oh, and most important for those of us having less fun dinners, what have you ordered? For vicarious enjoyment.

Why can’t you open the fridge?

Takeaway

Mmm takeaway is here. They even sent a little tub of ice cream for with dessert which I thought was mayo so dunked a chip in

Oh just seen why. Open the fridge!!!

Do it! My hubby works to 8pm on a Friday and it's my unofficial takeaway night! He doesn't like chinese food so whenever we get a takeaway together it's always Pizza or Indian so I like having a sneaky solo one 😂🙈

It's one of life's little pleasures :)

like eating something indulgent in your car and pretending you're stuck in traffic not that I ever do that obviously

I had to read you're first post twice, I thought your DH was stuck in the garage and you were more worried about what you were having for tea

tatty I just choked on a chip!! 😂

Is DH still stuck in the garage? I know this is a lighthearted thread but you need to look at that! You're supposed to have either a manual release or an alternative exit from the garage if you have a powered garage door for precisely this scenario...

Oh no, misread your OP - thought HE was stuck, not his car!!!

It’s best not to open the freezer if possible but the fridge is probably ok.

I'm single, I do it quite often. I have sometimes ordered something for the next night too, had a bit of both knowing I have tomorrow's dinner and washing up sorted :-)

the garage door does have a manual release but it’s directly over the centre of his car so no chance of opening it while car is in there. It does have a normal door to get in and out too. He’s definitely not trapped in there haha. I seen him drive off in my car

Enjoy your takeaway.

And you can open the fridge - just dont keep doing it 👍

Hahaha! I always used to order takeaway just for me when I lived alone... but used to order enough for two... shout up to imaginary friend that food was here when I opened the door and reheat the extra portion the next night just so the delivery driver didn't think I was lovely and sad

Go for it, I do and it's lovely not to have to think of what to cook for two nights unless I have had the rest for breakfast

One of my guilty pleasure is going to the local all you can eat Chinese buffet on my own so no one can judge my consumption of prawn toast dipped in satay sauce

Why are you asking this OP, of course you should get one! I always have it on my own. I had no idea about the fridge thing

I often get takeaways when I WFH so I do t have to share with anyone.

Serious note though- have you notified your electricity distribution company about the power cut?
