I’ve done a full day at work plus 3 hours extra work at home this evening (just finished).

I’m tired. I’m on my period. The DC are watching tv in the living room. DP is upstairs on his computer.

It’s a 109g bag of Twirl bites and I don’t want to share. But I feel so guilty as nobody knows I’m here or that we have chocolate in the house! AIBU?

Hahaha YANBU.

Trumpleton · 03/07/2019 19:36

Sounds normal to me! Grin enjoy your twirl bites!

Yanbu whatsoever. I recall the days fondly of sitting in the utility room behind the door cramming chocolate in my mouth.

BathshebaAndGabriel · 03/07/2019 19:37

No judgment from me.
I’m doing similar. But down in the cellar eating some chocolate the kids bought for their Grandma on a school trip.
Blissful.

I’ve this evening managed an entire Chinese takeaway while DD watched her allotted 15 minutes of Peppa Blush.

Bathsheba, a double steal! From kids and Grandma! Kudos to you.

What are your plans for disposing of the rubbish?

I used to have a stash in the utility room Grin

biggirlknickers · 03/07/2019 19:42

Chocolate has been consumed, empty packaging stuffed under other things in the bin, and I have just strolled nonchalantly into the living room. I think I got away with it.

Ha ! I have a wine box in the laundry !! I think I should add a box for chocolate too !

I applaud you ! Enjoy !

I hid in the utility room to eat some Toblerone earlier.

Janel85 · 03/07/2019 19:44

YANBU enjoy them!

Peachesandcream14 · 03/07/2019 19:45

I did this with some scotch pancakes earlier. DD has caught on though, she quickly realises I've slunk off, finds me and asks 'what you eating Mummy?' with an accusatory side eye

HalyardHitch · 03/07/2019 19:46

I love how its 100% yanbu on the voting!!

RickOShay · 03/07/2019 19:50

This has brought back memories Grin
Just don’t cuddle them or they will smell the chocolate and you will be rumbled

WoollyMummoth · 03/07/2019 19:51

Yanbu. I waited until dh and ds had gone to play football before I popped the last pizza in the oven and ate it all myself!

I feel zero guilt.

biggirlknickers · 03/07/2019 19:54

I’ve just promised the DC an extra bedtime story.

Chocolate makes me a nicer person.

I ate it for them.

Once every six weeks or so my DH has to work late and doesn’t get home until ten.

I really love those evenings. I order a massive dominoes pizza with my favourite sides, scoff the lot and then hide the boxes in the recycling.

The thing is, he wouldn’t care in the slightest because he doesn’t like dominoes pizza anyway and wouldn’t want any, but I always feel naughty doing it and need to hide the evidence!

Regularly stuff chocolate in my mouth when no one is looking too.

boredaloneandwaiting · 03/07/2019 20:00

I ate an entire -giant- tobelerone last week before I went into labour. I was terrified someone at the hospital would ask me what I'd eaten that day and I'd have to admit it in front of dh. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

sockatoe · 03/07/2019 20:08

@HumptyNumptyNooNoo I think I could learn from you!!!! We have a drinks cabinet next to the fridge so I occasionally manage a sneaky brandy coffee, but wine in the laundry would certainly help my washing get folded, safely hidden from the children 😊

22Giraffes · 03/07/2019 20:10

Love the poll results, 100% YANBU Grin
I do it too, we deserve it!

altiara · 03/07/2019 20:18

It’s medicinal if you’re on your period - fact!

Unusualusernames · 03/07/2019 22:09

Yanbu 😂 I wish I had some twirl bites
