to scrap dinner plans and get a takeaway because I've just cleaned my hob?

[AreolaGrande]

Have just done a blitz of the house, showered (one of those life changing showers after you've cleaned the house and you are minging), pjs are on and the plan was posh burgers for tea but now I'm looking at my sparkly hob 🌟 and thinking it would be a terrible shame to get burger fat all splattered over it so soon after cleaning.........

I also have covid so feel pretty grim and tired.

AIBU and lazy?

Get the takeaway. You deserve it. Especially after cleaning when you’ve got covid!!

Quite the opposite.

You cleaned your hob, and showered whilst having COVID. That's pretty good going.

Get a takeaway!

Get the takeaway!

Nice clean hob and feeling unwell??

Its a no-brainer. Get that takeaway and snuggle on the settee.

Would it matter if we said yes? 😂😂

Absolutely treat yourself to a takeaway, you've earned it!

Definitely, maybe even get one tomorrow too.

Take away sounds like a lovely treat but while feeling unwell I would make sure it's something reasonably wholesome (lots of takeaways sadly are UPF, High in salt and fat).
Sorry, I'm being a miserable cow... I do hope you have a good quality, proper ready made food delivery locally.

Nope 😆

Kids are happy with your decision MN. They're now arguing over pizza vs Japanese.

Get a takeaway in this circumstance! What are you thinking of getting? Really curious, haha!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, by the way.

YABVVVU

Your question should have been, what should I order for my Saturday night takeaway (after cleaning all day) and should I also order dessert?.

Enjoy ;-)

Whatever they decide, make sure you can get it delivered!

get well soon

Out of those two - Japanese. But Thai would be my choice.

You made the right decision.

You would be unreasonable and actually a little mad to undo all your good work on the hob. Enjoy your takeaway.

Pizza

I never get why people get pizza as a takeaway!

just bung a frozen one in the oven? Loads cheaper

Yes absolutely get the takeaway. However keep your job clean tomorrow as well and cook the burgers in the oven!

@LuckySantangelo35 her kids are deciding between pizza and Japanese

Why are you even asking, who wants to mess up a clean kitchen after all that effort! Enjoy the take away

Ideally I'd prefer Indian or Thai but it's just me and the kids so have to go with what they decide on.

We're having Japanese. Sushi, noodles and katsu curry. Can't wait. At least with this bout of covid I haven't lost my sense of taste 🙏.

@LuckySantangelo35 we have really fab takeaway pizza close by, nothing like a sad cardboard Dr Oetker from the freezer!

The Japanese sounds delicious! Good call!

Oh you are not alone in this one OP. Well the hob bit, sorry about COVID. But bloody well done on cleaning while feeling rough.

I have a cleaner on a Friday and the hob is always sparkling. I refuse to cook anything on Fridays as it will spoil the shine. Especially burgers, steaks the kind of food that for sure is going to muck it up.

And make the nice smelling house smell like food.

Take away it is.

(Or a toastie or something along those lines )

I think the same. And better quality! And you can add extra ingredients.

I’m glad you said it because I knew I’d come across as a tight arse or miserable! I couldn’t justify spending £50 on a takeaway when the plan was burgers which take 10 mins under the grill

I’m not usually one of those mumsnet knobs but is a clean hob much of a big deal? Ours is wiped down after every meal, it’s one of the (few) things that doesn’t vary in cleanliness from one day to the next.
