DH away next weekend for Saturday and Saturday night for a stag do.

MIL is having our DD for Saturday afternoon and night so I can have some me time as well and a decent night sleep (offered by MIL and FIL).

I've booked a domestic clean for my home and whilst that's being done I'm going for a massage and facial.

I haven't told DH about the cleaner or the massage/facial. I'm paying for it out of my savings. I'm having the skirting boards washed down, the windows cleaned, the kick boards in the kitchen etc all the big jobs that I hate doing! Plus the usual hoovering, mopping etc. DH wouldn't care that I had spent money on this deep down but I'll get the usual "I could of done the skirting boards etc" I've been waiting for 2 new sockets for a year and he's a sparky so I don't hold my breath that he would have time to clean skirting boards 😂

Then I'm going to have a bubble bath, order myself a massive Chinese or Indian (can't decide) and sit on the sofa in new pjs watching trashy tv, go to bed in clean sheets with no snorer next to me and no baby to wake me up and read my book until I fall asleep knowing I can have a lay in.

Just want to share my excitement with everyone 😂

I think that sounds perfect! Im
actually very envious.

Stephy1024 · 09/11/2023 20:20

That sounds like an amazing weekend. I'm actually jealous. Enjoy it.

ColleenDonaghy · 09/11/2023 20:25

Insanely jealous. That sounds amazing. Revel in every single moment.

Alltheyearround · 09/11/2023 20:33

Good for you! That is a top plan.

I know exactly what you mean about skirting boards.

I might take a leaf out of your book in the new year.

WinterCarlisle · 09/11/2023 20:37

Bloody AMAZING! Enjoy every second.

We had a post build deep clean several
years ago. OMG it was fantastic. My house was gleaming for about 2 hours they did EVERYTHING.

I keep saying that I’m going to do some overtime and get this done twice a year but it hasn’t happened yet 😫

Enjoy your time!

Melodysmum12 · 09/11/2023 20:41

Omg I’m so jealous!

sandrapinchedmysandwich · 09/11/2023 20:43

Sounds perfect op! Though I would wear old PJ'S while you eat your takeaway. If you are anything like me you will spill food down your lovely new clothes and turmeric is a bastard to get out!! Enjoy every moment!

Minniemouse85 · 09/11/2023 20:44

God that sounds amazing!!!!!

Mumsanetta · 09/11/2023 20:44

Yesss! I’m so pleased for you! Drifting off to sleep in clean bedding in a clean house with no husband or child for the night and with a BOOK - Complete. And. Utter. Bliss. Raise a glass to us OP 🍷

Witchbitch20 · 09/11/2023 20:45

That is genius.

This sounds amazing! Good for you, OP!

Jeannie88 · 09/11/2023 21:16

Jealous icon! You can tell your DH when or if you want to, sure he won't mind at all if he's away but sometimes these little self indulgences mean much more if just that lol. Only thing is, no bubbly to round it all off? Xx

I don’t think I’ve ever felt envy like this!! Imagine how you’ll feel post massage and walking in to a spotless home!! Oh god, I think I’ve got a stiffy 🤣
