For the first time in WEEKS I have the house to myself.

XP has taken DS out for park/dinner (so I don't have to feed him at all)

My Dad is out for the next 4 hours.

I've eaten nothing but a slice of toast all day for context.

And yeah there is food in the fridge/cupboards but I cook ALL THE TIME.

I have vodka/wine.

I should be doing housework, but OMG I want to watch Aliens for the hundredth time and eat something someone else has cooked for a fucking change.

We very rarely get takeaway and when we do it's always what the others want so inevitably it's either pizza or fish and chips, so I'm thinking one of the fancy independent burger or fried chicken places?

I am DEFINITELY not being UR to just change back into PJs now everyone has fucked off and at least take 2 hours to myself right??

I've got so much stressful shit going on and I could be doing sensible stuff but.........

Make me feel not guilty about this please??

I'm dying for a Chinese now.

Honestly this thread has made me smile from ear to ear. Enjoy every second OP!

Self care is COOL ✌🏼

PS I’m another one anxiously (and hungrily) waiting the pic(s!)

poorbuthappy · 30/01/2022 16:45

We are having Chinese food tonight because quite frankly I'm done this weekend and want it .

ItWorriesMeThisKindofThing · 30/01/2022 16:46

For me it would be fish and chips because the others in my house don’t like it but what you’ve got sounds fantastic. Enjoy!

ItWorriesMeThisKindofThing · 30/01/2022 16:46

@QuicklyGoSlowly

Sounds amazing and I am so jealous of you right now.

However if I was in your shoes I would definitely get a Chinese, but now after all this talking of food I want to order grilled minted lamb ribs, corn bread, mac & cheese with greens from this amazing place that's only open 3 times a week from 6-12 and sells out within those hours.

That sounds amazing

And you're inviting me for dinner, aren't you? Aren't you?

Go for it. Everyone needs treats from time to time and to take a break.

godmum56 · 30/01/2022 17:23

its the old "when you are on a plane, put your own oxygen mask on first" thing. You can't care for others without self care.

MyGlassKeepsLeaking · 30/01/2022 17:24

I'm sick of bloody cooking, so I'm ordering a takeaway soon - Indian, I think. I've got wine and lagers at the ready.

Hdhr8jsj · 30/01/2022 17:26
