To order takeaway two nights in a row?!

[30scrisis]

Terrible decision maker here... AIBU if I order takeaway from a local pub tonight? We had an Indian last night... I'm a single parent to three kids, this last week I've had two hospital appointments, worked every day, done all the childcare around that, and have a physical disability, with one DC with ALN. Oh and I have a fractured wrist. I'm exhausted. It's going to cost about £45... money isn't really an issue but I feel guilty as. I've packed on the weight over this last lockdown. So AIBU or would you go for it?

Go for it, don't feel guilty and enjoy it. Sounds like you deserve it. As others have said there arent many pleasures at the moment and that sounds like one of them!

YANBU at all!
Also having read all the posts upthread thank you for making me feel less shit about my food choices this week! Definitely really struggling at present

i just had an attack of the guilts but seem to have overcome it buy ordering a KFC

get ordering op sounds very nice and enjoy x

Do whatever you need to at the moment x

@30scrisis

In that case if it's worth the money I hope you really enjoy it and the break from cooking!

It's an overwhelming yes then!! I think we do guilt ourselves sometimes our of making decisions that can make our lives easier. Well I'm all ordered - four meals and four homemade cheesecakes for £57... bit more expensive that originally planned but like a few of you have said it's supporting a local business too 😉

Do it!!!!

Cheesecake 🤤 now I have food envy.

I had an Indian and a cornetto tonight. What's everyone else having?

@30scrisis
Thanks for this thread, you just inspired me to order another takeaway.

Currently having a G&T. Spaghetti Bolognese, garlic bread and salad, followed by a Gu chocolate pudding.
With 🍷

Go for it, life’s short OP, we often have lunch & dinner delivered!

That was for @StrapOnSallyChasedMeDownTheAli

Go fo it and enjoy.

I ordered too much Indian food last night so we could have it again tonight - go for it

Who called you lazy? You should get them out of your life!

Enjoy your takeaway. Then if you have the money, maybe you could look into some easier healthy options, e.g. prechopped/ home delivery. Your life sounds exhausting.

Definitely not being unreasonable, even without without your list of mitigating circumstances.

Enjoy!

I think of it as helping to keep local business going by ordering.

Really don’t see it’s a problem unless you just live on burger and chips for every meal.

Mushroom Stroganoff and cheesecake delicious!! We had a fish and chipper yesterday and having an Indian takeaway today but I prefer your menu!

Go for it! Doing your part for the economy and all that

We are having Chinese. We had roast chicken last night but we had a Japanese take away on Thursday.

Crack on I say!!

Think of it as supporting a local business .... enjoy

Str you sure it wasn't in jest?

If my mate told me she'd ordered takeaway again tonight I'd have called her a lazy moo, when I did something daft earlier she called me a dozy mare! (And I was, to be fair)

However, if they were serious I'd be giving them a wide berth. I don't do Facebook or anything like that, but if I did I'd probably end up blocking a lot of people!

Hope it's nice!

I can't eat much of anything you can get delivered, but I'd be ordering regular takeaway if I could, especially if it was from a local pub//restaurant!

If you can afford to and it makes you happy why not?!

Go for it
We usually eat out 2/3 times a week and have takeaways 2 nights a week. I don't feel guilty.
We've just ordered a takeaway and I've ordered cocktails
Enjoy your dinner.
