All of the fast food and coffee places being shut I mean.
Taking all of the jobs out of the equation I would be happy for the likes of Maccy d and starbucks to stay closed! I realise that this boils to being my own problem for having crappy willpower but this past few weeks without temptation has been great!!

I would love a McChicken Sandwich Meal right now 🍔🍟

Not gonna lie, if someone handed me a caramel frapp it would be drank at speed but I dunno, I think maybe I just need to address my use of these places Confused when I was a kid we were lucky to get 2 a year.

Problem is, I’m missing my treats so much that I’m overcompensating with chocolate. I’m actually getting fat.

I actually am. There's things I miss and people I worry about but in some respect it feels like a relief from the pressures.

Dd keeps asking when are we going to McDonald's mummy.
We usually go once a week.

refraction · 11/04/2020 18:11

But I also compensate with chocolate and wine.

I hardly ever go to McDonald’s - maybe three times a year. Now I can’t go, I am absolutely desperate for a chocolate milkshake, large fries and a filet o’fish.

Dd asked before for a McDonald's. After I explained I heard her saying to her sister, this virus is making mum so mean, she won't let us see nana and grandad and now she is even saying McDonald's is closed Sad

We are getting a takeaway each weekend to compensate for cooking every other meal.

Despite that we are shocked at how much we spent on eating out before this. Even just "nipping" to shops to get a few bits has been wiped out.

I hope to continue the habit Grin

I’m also shocked at how much we spent eating out, and the mid week top up shops. Crazy and I hope I won’t return to it as much.

We go mcds every Thursday after football training I really miss it 😢 I don’t even like it that much but it’s just ingrained in our routine and signifies almost the start of the weekend!!
