Coz it feels like it.
DH is away with friends
The friends wives have posted on SM that some of them are out
I was supposed to be out tonight but friends cancelled last minute
A few friends are away on holiday (not together)
I'm now at home with DC who just want to game all night
I've got itchy feet to go out but no one to go out with and I've got DC as I cancelled childcare for tonight
I feel so alone

@Thisisit2022 love the autumn !

ithoughtisawapuddycat · 14/05/2022 17:59

DH has COVID so it's a weekend at home for us. Not quite warm enough to sit in the garden where we are so we're watching footy.

romdowa · 14/05/2022 17:59

I've a rotten cold , so I'm lying down with my kitties! Absolutely hate going out in the evenings, much prefer to be at home.

CornishGem1975 · 14/05/2022 17:59

Nope, I'm at home with my DS, can't even have a glass of wine in the garden as I'm on duty to collect DH after watching the football. Hoping that it doesn't go to bloody extra time and then penalties as I'd love a nice cold crisp glass of vino about now!

TabithaTittlemouse · 14/05/2022 18:00

Working 11-11 so no although I am sat in my car eating a slightly sad looking salad. Party!

Get dressed up and dance with the children.

WorkEvent · 14/05/2022 18:02

I’ll probably be in bed as soon as I can get the toddler asleep (danger nap at 4pm so it’ll be at least 8, otherwise I’d go to bed earlier!!). After a long (3hrs) run in the sun this morning, and beach with the kids this afternoon, I’m shattered!

FabulousKilljoys · 14/05/2022 18:05

@Organictangerine ah sorry to hear about your little one. Do they have any other symptoms? Mine is fine apart from the temperature, obviously picked something up at nursery this week I'm just not sure what! He's eating and drinking ok so I'm taking that as a good sign!

EileenGC · 14/05/2022 18:06

I was out 10-5 with church-related responsibilities so no, not going anywhere tonight. Was joining a few friends for dinner but I'm too tired to move and tomorrow start a crazy week. It's a freezer dinner + Eurovision zoom party with some family abroad. I won't be moving from my bed once it start at 9pm local time!

HostessTrolley · 14/05/2022 18:07

Nope - family are settling in with beers and pizza, I’m working the night shift (nhs) so will be off to work soon x

PleaseGoDontGoAgain · 14/05/2022 18:10

I'm on nasty antibiotics and daren't go out the house due to side effects. This has been torture, I'm surrounded by gardens full of families all day and now adults enjoying wine, chatter and nibbles.
I've been huffing all day.

muddyford · 14/05/2022 18:10

I've been outside most of the day, with the dogs, and I am enjoying a large whisky and ginger ale in my comfortable chair indoors.

TheClitterati · 14/05/2022 18:11

I'm on a train.

I did get some beach time earlier so I'm not feeling entirely like I'm missing the lovely day.

vodkaredbullgirl · 14/05/2022 18:12

I've got work tonight, next door are been very loud, music and loud talking.

Notsomellownow · 14/05/2022 18:12

Same here! This weather just makes you long for a beer garden 😎 My 2 are out playing at least. I'm ordering them dominos and pretending I'm not going to eat any....

kw1091 · 14/05/2022 18:16

Nope! I’m getting ready for night shift 2 on the postnatal ward. My annual leave starts at 8am though woohoo!

Nodancingshoes · 14/05/2022 18:19

Nope. DH has all his friends round for a BBQ so I'm upstairs staying out the way!

Nodancingshoes · 14/05/2022 18:20

@vodkaredbullgirl are you my neighbour?
😁

vodkaredbullgirl · 14/05/2022 18:22

They have a very loud Uncle playing with the kids. Glad I've got work soon lol

Chihuahuapower · 14/05/2022 18:24

Eurovision and snacks. Whoop!

HesterShaw1 · 14/05/2022 18:24

I'm on my own! Just got in from work, it's cool and cloudy and some numbskull has lit a bonfire.

I'm going to watch TV with a Chinese

PrettyMaybug · 14/05/2022 18:24

Wouldn't summer's eve be 31st May?

bloodywhitecat · 14/05/2022 18:25

Nope, pinned under a toddler with a temp of 39.6

PrettyMaybug · 14/05/2022 18:25

Having evening meal in 10 minutes then going for a walk to the pub at 8pm (10 mins walk away) for a beer! It's just perfect this evening. Smile

InFiveMins · 14/05/2022 18:25

If I were you I'd make the best of it - comfy clothes, Eurovision on the TV, favourite takeaway and lots of wine.

katepilar · 14/05/2022 18:27

No. A/ its too hot outside, B/ I have had a flipping headache since I cant remember when.
