To have a dance party once DD is in bed?

I've had a shit day. I'm fucked off.

In my kitchen I have lots of bottles of wine. My dad is staying at my house tonight.
AIBU to have a dance party once DD is in bed? Wine and crappy music and a dance around my kitchen.
On my own obviously.

I have arthritis so it'll look more like I'm doing the robot than anything else, but still.

(In reality it'll be a bottle of wine and a little bit of toe-tapping until I'm beyond exhausted and in bed by 10...)

Your more than welcome to virtually join me also.

I've had many dance parties.
I enjoyed mine and I really hope you enjoy yours.

I'll do a little jig and toe tap later.

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 18:48

I love a solo dance party Smile I'll join you

YouWinAgain · 14/02/2019 18:52

I do this all the time, once DD is asleep music on and party time! Although I only drink at weekends

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 18:52

@FlibbertyGiblets not a problem. ABBA is an excellent suggestion.

FlibbertyGiblets · 14/02/2019 18:53

What would YOU like to toe tap to?

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 18:53

@YouWinAgain I'm not alone! I have a nothing day tomorrow so am taking full advantage of the wine.

A nothing day is a delightful prospect.

Mixedupmummy · 14/02/2019 18:54

me too 🙋‍♀️

I have 3 dc, do I get a glass for each of them? 🍷🍷🍷

to be fair it's only the littest that's worn me out today but I still think it's a more than one glass night.

Myusernameismud · 14/02/2019 18:55

Dance parties are important.

I frequently have a 60 second dance party to snap myself out of a shitty mood. 60 seconds is all it takes to shake it off (literally).

Have fun.

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 18:56

I was going to go for a bit of Queen for an air-guitar, feeling on top of the world vibe.
Maybe a bit of Foo Fighters for stress relief and then some old-school dance (Teardrops, Real Love..) to relive my carefree youth.

A delightful and very rare prospect. I cannot wait to wake up tomorrow.
I haven't felt like that for at least 20 years.

@Mixedupmummy pull up a chair.

@Myusernameismud thank you. More than welcome to join.

We Are The Champions for an arm waving finish!

I’m with you Sister! Tell me what time we kick off......

Great playlist btw!

FlibbertyGiblets · 14/02/2019 19:01

Sneaking in Bolero early as it is anniversary of T and D doing their thang in Cold Land (Sarajevo?)

TheHorseYouRodeInOn · 14/02/2019 19:02

I'd like Donna Summer : I feel Love 😃

Thestral · 14/02/2019 19:04

I volunteer to do Total Eclipse of the Heart later, once the wine has kicked in.

Ginger1982 · 14/02/2019 19:05

I love doing this when DH is out. I usually do it in front of the mirror so I can pretend I'm some sort of pop star!

TipseyTorvey · 14/02/2019 19:08

I'm in!! Crap day at work. Already had a glass to be zen mummy. Can I have some kylie🍷?

rosamacrose · 14/02/2019 19:12

Any Beyonce ( clearly)
But if I may suggest N.E.R.D "voila"
I started my day with that, headphones in, at my desk.
I was dizzy with excitement all day probably because I have tomorrow off

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 14/02/2019 19:12

Silent disco works for me some days !! Headphones on - music cranked up and eyes shut !! Enjoy !
