To have a dance party once DD is in bed?

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 18:41

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'm having a cheese and wine party, but I'll be up for a boogie later!!

I’m pregnant but I’d love to join in your dance party! I’ll stick to a Lilt if there’s any going?! Tropical enough to maybe feel like a cocktail if I have ice!

Oooo the numbers are climbing. Have to start a guest list.

All song requests welcomed.
Many beverages on offer (alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties @isitthehormones Halo)

Bra's off, PJs are on, wine is poured.
Let's boogie

Today I remembered "Shut up and Drive" from my gym playlist, haven't heard it for ages!

spring like weather made me think of summer which makes me think.....mojito!

Grace212 · 14/02/2019 19:29

Foo Fighters made me think of them with Rick Astley.....that was great Grin

unusual covers made me think of this - rocky and dancey and I don't even like Usher!

Deadringer · 14/02/2019 19:30

I will join in too, but only if I can dance sitting down.

rosamacrose · 14/02/2019 19:31

My bra came off at 6:10.
Comfy clothes on.
Curtains drawn.
Three day weekend and may I suggest Calvin Harris?

RomanyQueen1 · 14/02/2019 19:31

i'll do my dancing on the table party piece, without the table though Grin
to Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Wanna have fun.

Some excellent suggestions here.

Calvin Harris is a defo, as is Cindy @RomanyQueen1 - I really want to see that 

@Grace212 that's quite good actually.

@Deadringer of course!

@rosamacrose a woman after my own heart!

I've just put the music channels on the TV whilst my MacBook loaded up (the speakers are so much LOUDER than my iPhone.)

What in God's name is classed as music now?! Every channel was either adverts or something where the majority of lyrics were censored out.
These kids have no idea what they're missing!

I do this sort of thing too! Sometimes I have a dance party with the dc.

Today we've had a lovely dinner but I must admit.to having a glass of wine or two for Valentine's day!

Inarightpickleandchutney · 14/02/2019 19:50

I do a sterling running man (signature move!) so yep I’m in!

@Inarightpickleandchutney this I have to see...

(who remembers that?)

Grace212 · 14/02/2019 19:58

love Calvin Harris!

he still does a Vegas show, right? So "the kids" presumably do listen to that kind of thing?

oh and Paul van Dyk too....

my current earworm is Bastille's Pompeii. I also have Taylor Swift running in my head but that's permanent. Though for tonight....we could play "22" - I have a birthday coming soon, not that one though Grin

Bonkers.
Fix up is guaranteed to get you making moves you'd never thought you'd do.

Moo Point (see what I did there?!) try a bit of Dizzee’s ‘I luv you’ for the anti Valentine’s Day sounds.

JRMisOdious · 14/02/2019 20:44

Headphones. Blissfully unaware DD and you’ll feel like Madonna in concert.

Grace212 · 14/02/2019 20:44

buckeejit · 14/02/2019 20:45

LikeACowsOpinion · 14/02/2019 20:50

All of these are going on the list. Some songs here I've not heard or thought of for years!

Dancing like a prat to some old-school dance at the minute. My favourite genre.

@buckeejit welcome!!
