Me today and it was great 🍔

Finally house to myself for a few hours. Special offer of two for one burgers from Uber eats. Ate them whilst watching crappy Real Housewives of Cheshire
Then shoved the bag to the very bottom of the bin
No one will ever know

What's the problem with people knowing?

It's good to treat yourself (and eat like that once in a while!)

Overtheatlantic · 30/12/2024 19:16

Excellent! I’ve done the same thing. I think it involved a bucket of chicken though.

Dunno really…Dh and Dd would’ve complained about me getting them and not for them…most snacks I have to hide, I have zero to myself. I was tracking the Uber guy, willing him to get here fast before they got home, so I could have my moment 😁

First time in a week I've not been cooking and dealing with visitors. Two squares of rocky road, cup of tea and last two episodes of Last Tango in Halifax............bliss😌

TheLurpackYears · 30/12/2024 19:33

Well done. Pre -divorce I wasn't allowed any moments to treat myself so I totally get it.

FuzzyWuzzyWuzABear · 30/12/2024 19:35

Whoppers are my all time faves!

The hiding isn't good. You're a grown woman.

If you want a couple of burgers that's your choice.

AnnieMay2000 · 30/12/2024 19:37

Lovely. I get a McDonalds delivered every Monday as its the only day I have to myself. I eat it in bed while watching trashy TV. Monday is my favourite day of the week 😃

bringmorewashing · 30/12/2024 19:43

Nothing better than a quiet moment to treat yourself, without having to share!

SadSandwich · 30/12/2024 19:46

OP I am in awe - sounds like a wonderful afternoon. And all the better that it was private - other than us lot 😋

Two Whopper burgers is a snack?

No, but i’m saying anything I usually get for myself as a treat to have when everyone’s in bed..like nachos, a little bit of choc etc, I have to hide or Dd asks me for it or Dh eats it

I'd be a bit worried by a family dynamic where you couldn't choose your own food and eat it in peace.

Love the fact that the final line is phrased as though you murdered someone and have hidden the body lol.

Glad you enjoyed the burgers, sounds like a good day!

Imjustlikeyou2 · 30/12/2024 19:57

I don’t care what anyone says, what you did today is an elite feeling. When DH goes back to work and the kids to school/nursery on Monday I fully plan on doing something equally satisfying.

I can obviously, but it would then mean everyone else wanting food too, paying more and just not having my sneaky moment just for myself 🤷🏻‍♀️
Dd and Dh were out getting food at a cafe at the playground anyway

I don’t know what’s so special about it, but it’s just the peace and quiet and not being harassed, although the dog was doing her eyes at me

This sounds amazing. I bet you have the opposite of Sunday dread each week.

Nah, I totally get where OP is coming from. Sounds like a joyous moment.

soupfiend · 30/12/2024 20:01

YABU because you should have put the bag on proud display and told them why, that you deserve a rest, a nice snack and all to yourself because you barely get a look in most of the time. So take that kids!

Omg you really know how to live life. I want to copy this lifestyle 😍

So why hide the wrappers if they had food at the cafe?

Hell would freeze over too before I had to hide snacks or any kind of food in my own home.

Tell your DH to leave certain things alone.

Entitled prick.
