Can I justify this take away?

[Currywurstmitpommes]

So DH is away for the weekend (happens rather less than once in a blue moon). He hates chinese food so if we have takeaway (very rare treat) then we get Indian. Tonight though I promised myself a chinese takeaway.

I’ve just found out that their minimum spend for delivery is £17! It’s only for me (toddler DCs have already eaten...). So do I: a) abandon my plans and have something else, b) put kids in the buggy in their PJs and take them with me to collect, or c) say sod it and order in a feast just for me? (and ignore the fact I’m suposed to be on a diet?)

WWYD?

I’d walk. Burn some calories, weather is nice and you treat yourself. Win win win.

Order your food. Top up with soft drinks to make £17?

Order a feast and then you can have leftovers for lunch for a few days :)

Order it. Get crispy duck and pancakes

I’d walk to get it. Seems a lot for one meal!

Get the food.

Freeze any leftovers

Delight in finding Chinese food leftovers in the freezer in a few weeks time.

ooh, crispy duck! and all for me. thanks everyone!

I'd walk, as I'm funny about reheating/freezing takeaway food. Only like eating it on the day. Except for pizza.

Have a feast! You only live once!

get a feast!! do it!

I'd walk for it or can you ask a friend to collect it and come round for a chat and a drink.

I wouldn't spend £17 for delivery, but our Chinese is very cheap and £17 would be enough for at least 4 people so the leftovers would be ridiculous.

Get it delivered woman. Crispy duck'll bump it up.

Take a stroll when they are tired, so your food will still warm and enjoy.

17 minimum spend is OTT for delivery, it would probably make you sick and you'll bin most.

Get a delivery. Order sooner rather than later so you've got plenty of time to scoff it.

Order £17+ worth, reheat any left overs for breakfast lunch.

Get it, than leave some for tomorrow, and maybe ext day. I got Chinese had lots left over and ate it over the course of 3 days. Stored in my very cold fridge and heated what I needed.

Yes you can justify it - eat the leftovers tomorrow. Surely for £17 you won't get that much?

I was absolutely fine, no poisoning. Just cool and straight to fridge

What whatwouldleslie says. Definitely order a feast, but put some aside as soon as you get it for lunch tomorrow.

How far away is the restaurant?

FEAST FEAST FEAST FEAST!

Sounds amazing, go for it xx

£17 doesn't go that far in a Chinese anyway to be honest, treat yourself :-)

Right. If you’re doing this, then do it properly. Yes of course crispy duck. You’ll be needing prawn toast as well. Kids in bed, get your pjs on, wine, film, etc and no fucks given. What you don’t eat tonight, eat tomorrow.

I really bloody want a Chinese now.
