To get a mid week takeaway

109 replies

BroomHandledMouser · 01/12/2020 16:04

I’ve just been to the fridge, and the meat I was planning on cooking is past it’s sell by date and a little bit smelly!

Do I go to my local and see what they have? Or do I commence sitting on arse and order a pizza?

YABU - Get to the shops you lazy fish wife

YANBU - Get pizza on a Tuesday - live in the edge

Do it!

iklboogeymum · 01/12/2020 17:19

We're having chippy tonight. Just not in the mood for stuff we've got in until the shopping is delivered tomorrow.

Yabu to call Tuesday midweek Grin

But yeah, go right ahead with the takeaway. I'd have one too but I had the stodgiest takeaway pizza on Sunday night that's still torturing me now Sad

About to have an Indian....

StillCoughingandLaughing · 01/12/2020 17:31

I am indulging tonight, on the basis that the gym reopens tomorrow and I will feel obliged to exercise, so may as well have one last blowout Grin

Also, how have I never heard of Cheeky Tuesdays on Just Eat?! This will change my life...

We are decorating the tree tonight and having takeaway pizza and fizz.

Needs must.

IndiaMay · 01/12/2020 17:43

We often have a takeaway on a Wednesday

LastChristmas20 · 01/12/2020 17:45

All of our takeaways are weekday ones if we are going to have one.

They're the days I have the least time/inclination to prepare something and I feel it must be prepared quicker on a weekday as quieter.

Just ordered a curry. Thanks for the inspiration!

CovidiotTwunt · 01/12/2020 17:49

I generally get take out during the week. It arrives much faster!

DoveGreylove · 01/12/2020 17:50

You only live once.
I probably get 2 take aways a week... one mid week one weekend. And I don't feel guilty at all. Grin

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 01/12/2020 17:51

Do it. You're supporting a local business and helping to strengthen the economy. Plus if it's dark and cold out, nobody wants to drive to the shops.

Definitely a mid week takeaway!
I find the food is better, the delivery quicker and all the more rewarding after a hard day's slog.

Glitterbubbles · 01/12/2020 17:54

Yes we are getting takeaway tonight! Go for it

Aragog · 01/12/2020 17:55

We are getting a couple of take aways a week at present - from places we would previously have eaten at. My excuse is that it is good to be giving them some custom at the moment while they are forced to close.

cazisalittlenuts · 01/12/2020 17:55

I'd love a midweek takeaway however we dont have just eat delivering in my neck of the woods, nor can my budget stretch to it Sad

I'd probably just use the meat and risk it.

Daydrambeliever · 01/12/2020 17:56

My morrisons delivery just arrived. I have a fridge full of food. But I also honestly can't spare even one brain cell to think about what to cook let alone actually getting off my arse to cook. I'm phoning for a Chinese. I might even have wine with it. Fuck it.

Pinklightatnight · 01/12/2020 17:56

Yanbu to get a takeaway but not pizza! Too boring Grin

wigglerose · 01/12/2020 17:57

There are people who DON'T get to Wednesday and think "Fuck it, let's get a takeaway?" ??!!!

Connieston · 01/12/2020 18:00

On our second takeaway of the week here. Work is nuts, one kid (juniors) off self isolating thanks to bubble so homeschool fun and games, plus other factors means not crap is being given. I just got paid and I'm going to enjoy it!

GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly · 01/12/2020 18:02

Takeaway any local pubs etc you could support?

trappedsincesundaymorn · 01/12/2020 18:06

I'd love a takeaway, but I live in the arse end of no-where and not one takeaway place delivers to here, Sad
