Day 1 period. Been thinking about doing it for about an hour...

I personally couldn’t be bothered but if you need it then go for it!

olderbutwiser · 18/08/2024 23:23

I am jealous you have 24/7 access to chocolate. I would probably have a special standby chocolate shopping outfit to pull over my PJs - maybe an overall of some sort - if I was lucky enough to have a shop like that nearby.

Have you got any Nutella in the house? Few teaspoons of that sort out a craving, or a sweet cuppa, or honey on toast, so cereal with sugar on?

Basically it's fat and sugar you are craving!

Do you have Uber eats or deliveroo? You can order groceries through there.

personally I think it’s a bit late, I’d be worried about my safety at this time of night to venture out (alone?)

are you driving there?

Are you sure they are open tonight . The 24 hour supermarkets close late Saturday for Sunday trading hours?

if not get dressed or go to bed ?

Xiaoxiong · 18/08/2024 23:28

I wouldn't - brush your teeth, get into your comfy bed and get stuck into a book. You'll feel much better in the morning for it!

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/08/2024 23:34

I would. I enjoy the nighttime walk as much as the chocolate when I get home.🫖

Caerulea · 18/08/2024 23:37

Do it.

OpizpuHeuvHiyo · 18/08/2024 23:38

Yanbu but it's ok to not get dressed. If you put on a big coat no-one will know it's PJs underneath.

SD1978 · 18/08/2024 23:59

I would go. Put on tracksuit trousers and a jacket. I don't see the point in longing after something when it's possible to go get it and be satisfied Grin

OverthinkingRogue · 19/08/2024 00:01

Sounds good to me, could you get me some chocolate too?!

GanninHyem · 19/08/2024 00:03

Feel better for it in the morning? It's one bar of chocolate not a late night sesh on the ket 🤣🤣🤣

SummerSplashing · 19/08/2024 00:04

Oh God, I could not be arsed & there's a shop across the road 😂😂

if your cravings when you have your period are this bad, why not keep some chocolate in?

My local garage/shop closes for nothing
Christmas Day? Open
Robbery with a machete, windows smashed? Open

LostittoBostik · 19/08/2024 00:07

I would use UberEats and get a small haul of groceries delivered with it so you don't feel so bad about the delivery charge

MavisPennies · 19/08/2024 00:08

Ooh yeah, can you pick up a pack of bagels and some cream cheese for me while you're there?

Because it wouldn't last until my period 🤣

She’s craving a Twix not an 8 ball

@Britishsummertime22

ahhh😂😂😂😂😂

I can just put it out of sight & it doesn't call to me. Lucky I guess. But MANY other issues I'd swap for this!!

I have a friend who CANNOT have chocolate in the house. After years of buying her kids Christmas Sekdction boxes. Chocolate coins, Easter Eggs & having to replace them several times over before the Event. She now brings them straight to mine, no going home first! 😂😂

SummerSplashing · 19/08/2024 10:30

@Britishsummertime22

so, did you go or not?

Hope you're feeling better today.

Menopause sucks big time, I'd far rather have my periods back (even the heavy ones) but I cursed them at the time

Xiaoxiong · 19/08/2024 10:36

For the "better for it in the morning" I was referring to the sleep, not the chocolate!
