To get a takeaway on a week night?!

Please tell me you all do sometimes too....

Wednesday is my last working day of the week and I just want to veg out with a curry and some wine.

I start work at 5am on a Wednesday so I am knackered and can't be bothered to cook.

Anyway - just told my friend my plans and she said she could not contemplate a curry mid-week and asked did I not feel 'bad' - which I hadn't but now I am wondering?!

So AIBU??

There's a reason why the takeaway opens every day.

Go for it and enjoy it! For what its worth we had a chinese take out yesterday and Pizza on monday, but it was DH's birthday yesterday so good excuse

My DH has just had a wisdom tooth removed & the post-operative advice from his dentist clearly states "eat soft food only for the first 24 hours".......so that is justification enough for a takeaway curry tonight!

YADNU!!! I certainly have them when DH and I want to veg out and can't be bothered to do more than dial a number! Its fab! Enjoy!

What difference does it make? It's quite sensible actually. Takeaway shops are always quieter midweek so you dont have to wait as long for your grub!!

Ooh, you've got me wanting a curry now... Nothing wrong with it at all. Your mate is a weirdo.

ChippingIn · 07/07/2010 19:39

Your mate is barking....

GetOffMoiLand - you had me worried for a minute there - I thought someone had pinched your identity!!

Mind you OP, all the others are putting their 'organically fed, organic cotton clothed, precious ones' to bed - be prepared for them to turn up soon & tell you how bad takeaways are - for you, the planet... yadda yadda yadda....

I'm waiting for my chinese, have been driving all day coming back from a few days at my mums. There is lots of food, I had a tsco shop delivered, but I cannot be arsed to cook it.

So YANBU!

erm.. she does understand that a calorie is a calorie whatever day you eat it on?

and a pound is a pound whatever day you spend it on (or gain it!)?

odd.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread - now I want curry. We had takeaway last night (mmmm...lamb bhuna) and now I want more but had to eat stupid spaghetti bolognese! I would eat curry every night at the moment though as I'm 6 weeks pregnant, nauseous, tired and its all I fancy. Don't listen to your friend, she is BVU, not you. Enjoy your curry, whilst I sit here feeling very

YANBU, we would have starved to death as new parents without Royal Tandoori. We have been known to have one twice in one week. I refuse to even put a blush emoticon. Nom.

We had delivered pizza for supper tonight. Totally normal for us to get pizza on a Wednesday or Thursday.

Surely it makes more sense to have a takeaway on a weekday, when you're knackered and pressed for time, than the weekend? YADNBU.

Guilt is a wasted emotion!
