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 😂

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!

I'd somehow splatter it all over the newly cleaned skirting boards Grin

mrsfollowill · 09/11/2023 22:19

Sounds amazing! I like the idea of a cleaner - inspired 😁Enjoy every minute
PS I'd have a curry delivered- make sure you have wine too.

EtiennePalmiere · 09/11/2023 22:21

Enjoy ! I vote curry

OhpoorMe · 09/11/2023 22:27

Do not pay for the cleaner out of your own money!!

Damonalbarnsbigtoe · 09/11/2023 22:29

Sounds beyond perfect, enjoy!

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 did question buying a nice bottle of red but I don't drink often and DH is a couple of hours drive away and will be drinking so wasn't sure whether to risk a couple of glasses as I wouldn't be able to drive if I needed to 🤔

A mum who hasn't had a night alone or a clean house in over 4 years.

PS enjoy everyone minute

Foon · 09/11/2023 23:17

Sounds great but why the hell are you paying for it out of your own money?

AntiquePancakes · 09/11/2023 23:22

Sounds like heaven! Please report back how it went
Confession here, when my youngest started school I also used to come home and nap. Then have tea and biscuits in peace before doing the housework
