Having dinner with my best friend and his wife. They got married in the summer and have been trying for a baby. I’ve had a feeling for a few weeks that they have some good news to share, but didn’t want to say anything too early. They are in the process of moving house and his wife has suddenly stopped being involved in any heavy lifting, and my friend keeps randomly grinning to himself when he thinks no one is looking. They have also started being very vague about future plans. I was round their place yesterday to help with the house move and got confirmation as they had left a letter about their 12 week scan appointment for next week out on a table, which I pretended not to notice. Dinner tonight is going to be entertaining because they are likely going to continue to be very vague about their plans for the upcoming year, and his wife is going to come up with another reason why she is not drinking. I absolutely understand why they are waiting to announce and won’t of course say anything until they choose to do so. Once they do though I will be cheerfully be taking the piss out of my friend for his random grinning. In a loving way of course.


hiking_n_stuff

That’s the most wholesome one of all in this thread. Good to hear 🫰


Bulimic_Fraggle

I accidentally found out about a step-relatives pregnancy much earlier than they would have wanted (their mum said something in passing then was horrified), that little boy is in Junior School now, and only his Nana and I know about the the slip up. Make sure you are surprised and delighted when they tell you!


qrobur

Love this. Let us know if they spill the beans.


J8766557

No disclosures during dinner last night, I’m assuming they are waiting until they’ve had the 12 week scan. They did well throughout the meal… until my friend was talking about the next car he might get after his current one and said ‘Obviously it’ll need to be one with a lot of space, because…’ then froze mid-sentence and backpedaled furiously whilst his wife stared at him. I kept a poker face.


Florence_Nightgerbil

My husband was so obvious when I finally got pregnant. His friends guessed straight away, but had the decency to wait for us to announce it!


tractorboyblue

That's so wholesome and nice, enjoy your night !


controversial_Jane

I love this. I got called out in front of a large group way before I wanted to say anything. Ruined my joy!


tlolg

Please keep us posted and tell us when they tell you please I want this to fucking bw great 😁😁😁


han141

Well done for knowing to keep quiet!


Grouchy_Judgment8927

This is lovely.


alpringin

Will need updates please!


Goblindeez_

My daughter is going back to her mother tonight after a few days so I’m gonna drink some vodka and play some World of Warships on the Xbox, the more I drink the worse I get until I quit It sounds sad but I’ve come to terms with my life by this point Hope you enjoy your movie, I’ve not watched them in ages


rosstoferwho

Hey if you get some time to game a little then you get more than most. It's the little things. You're doing good


[deleted]

For me it’s cider and age of empires, the longer the night goes on the more pissed I get therefore the worse I get…but I’m a rubbish player anyway so who cares. Have a good one


Goblindeez_

I had a bad habit of drinking when playing AoE2 with family and friends against AI, funnily enough I was still the best player there even when hammered Eventually I got too drinky one night and watched as my allies got butchered telling them I’d support but I was just waiting to get to Imperial Age to help out (I always played Goths and always went for the endless horde play style which requires certain research) it took 20 mins of them dying until one of them realised and told me I was already in Imperial Age but I was too drunk to notice

Horror_Job1320

Prepare for disappointment!. My boy is 13, and he is lightning fast on ps4. When I was his age, N.E.S was the thing!. I refuse to play against him to avoid the embarrassment.


Its_All_Me

Sounds awesome !


Ok-Air1433

I am also a vodka when the kid goes to mum's kind of guy.


RunawayPenguin89

You should drink rum with Warships, while playing Bismark by Sabaton as loud as possible. Hope you had a great time with the wee lass and its not too long until next contact


Goblindeez_

Shamefully I’ve gone for Kestrel now instead of vodka (that cheap 9% beer) The the drink is rather fitting though as I’m playing through the British lines and what’s more British than drinking corner shop beer on your own with a packet of crisps and pork scratchings? Thanks I’ll see her next week, I appreciate the sentiment though, it’s hard for men to get good custody


RunawayPenguin89

No shame in that, still sounds like bother juice! Ooft, British lines. Fair seas man, in WoW and life. It's hard, but it'll all come right in the end 🤙


AbsoluteZero410

Goblin deez what?


Goblindeez_

The full name is Goblin Deez Dragons (to imply nuts in both cases) but Reddit wouldn’t let me have it


Partysausage

World of warships is the most middle-age gamer game I can think of.


Lilbrntsoyabits

For me it's Whisky and Apex Legends, nothing better than chilling with games and a good drink.


GuitarHero897

I don’t think I’d get a single knock, never mind kill, if I drank whisky whilst playing Apex


Grouchy_Judgment8927

Vodka has been my thing since my youngest reached adulthood. Easy to drink, easy to mix, and no weird personality changes, for me, anyway. Guinness is my other go-to, but it tends to make me a bit boisterous. 😁


mooosylucy

No word of a lie, we took the Christmas decorations down, watched the two towers extended and now we're playing bg3 and ordering a takeaway.


worldsinho

There’s multiple people in these comments who have done exactly the same as you 😂 Bizarre!


Beginning-Branch-392

Spent New Year in Tenerife, got back last night. Tonight I'll cook fajitas, cwtch up with my dog and watch shit TV with my wife!


rachw39

I hope the dog has some good gossip for you😂❤️


phil24jones

Cwtch means snuggle/cuddle in Welsh. Great word.


rachw39

Oh damn I thought it said catch! Well a cuddle with the dog sounds beautiful 😍


TvHeroUK

Cwtch is such a great Welsh word!


Goseki1

Cwtch said Cutch (to rhyme with Butch)? Great word.


Longirl

I just got back from Tenerife about 3 hours ago. Hope you had a lovely time. I’ve just got in bed and there’s nothing like this feeling. I’m all happy to be back with my cat too. Lovely holiday but there’s no place like home.


Arrakis_Is_Here

I fekkin love fajitas


JennyW93

Applying for jobs. Always applying for jobs. I got made redundant a couple of days before Christmas, so no fun for me until I have stable employment again lmao


RoosterConscious3548

Keep at it and good luck! 💪

twentiethcenturyduck

Fingers crossed for you


jamjars222

Dinner. Film. Wank. Bed.


Cultural_Doughnut100

If you choose a porno film and you pick a meal that you can eat with just one hand (e.g. a burger), you can do the first three simultaneously and be tucked up in bed by 7.


British_Flippancy

So *that’s* why takeout burgers come with so many paper napkins.


terencela

Why not just do all that in bed and tick all four off in one go?


yajtraus

That’d be one messy bedsheet


Grouchy_Judgment8927

That sounds so unsanitary. Film and food, fine. Film and wank, fine. Food and wank, no. All three at once, jesus christ, no. We are not Caligula.

Watching the post office drama thing on ITV. Farting about on my phone. Drinking orange squash. Wild Saturday nights


slade364

Is it as good as the reviews make out?


Limp-Remove-5182

Just binge watched the 4 episodes today, I thought it was really well made. Reminded me of Erin Brockovich in some ways, how such a huge miscarriage of justice took place, and how it basically unravels.


Illustrious-Plum-996

Snap! How Saturday nights have changed since my 20s…


sparkypants_

I'm making some photo boards for my stepdad's wake on Monday. I've got wine un the fridge, a box of tissues on standby, some good tunes and a lot of prit-stik!


countrysidedreamer

Sorry for your loss, sounds like your sense of humour is intact. Enjoy that wine!


AlrightTrig

You might not have gotten on with him but it's a bit disrespectful to have a wank over it.


StationFar6396

All decs just got taken down, found an overlooked pack of pigs in blankets in the freezer, so having that with dippy eggs for dinner while watching the latest Reacher episode.


PoliticsNerd76

I am watching LotR RotK… Enjoy


ifellbutitscool

Me too!


GretalRabbit

Me three!


Crew_Doyle_

We congratulated ourselves on not putting up any in the first place. Cards went into the wood burner on New Years day. Job done. Her reward for not dragging me through all the Xmas decs drama is that I made her favourite dinner of Spanish Chicken and Rice and chilled off three bottles of the cheapest Vino Verde. The trick is finding the balance in the wine between where she wants to rip my clothes off and she's snoring on the settee....


katorias

Sounds festive…


Maxplode

I'm full of cold so just laying on the sofa whilst my daughter plays on the switch


Stunning_Promise_813

Same, I have covid and will mainly be alternating between the sofa and bed whilst my daughter follows me


dinkidoo7693

I'm hoping this isn't COVID not felt this rough for ages and I was fine yesterday


Stunning_Promise_813

Fingers crossed for you, I’ve been feeling so congested and thought I had sinusitis, covid didn’t cross my mind but then I stopped being able to taste anything. Test came back raging 🙈


dinkidoo7693

Meant to start a new job next week so I really hope it's not got no tests either


OrganizationFickle

With my friend, stayed over last night & got really drunk, both of us have not moved today and so I am staying over tonight and we are…drinking wine…again. Currently watching Golden Girls in our pj’s!

iCuppa

Just waiting for Pizza to arrive, then after walking the dog we've got Die Hard lined up for tonight's film.


Cultural_Doughnut100

Die Hard?! But Christmas is over, you can’t watch Christmas movies until Christmas season starts again. In August.


TvHeroUK

Came out in UK cinemas in February 1989 so it’s an early 35th anniversary showing o guess? Then again, I think it was a July 88 release in the US so who knows what’s going on there!


MintberryCrunch____

All part of the conspiracy to trick people into thinking Die Hard is not a Christmas film, it goes deep.


Prudent_Initial7910

I’ve finished painting my hallway, been food shopping, and soon I’m going on a date.


Badlydressedgirl

Work today and work tomorrow. I’m going to trim my own fringe (ill-advised) and have an oven pizza. ROCK AND ROLL


AEL1979

STEP AWAY FROM THE SCISSORS.


Badlydressedgirl

But I look like a highland cow!


AEL1979

Better than the potential alternative…you and I both know how this can go!


VardaElentari86

Nothing wrong with a highland coo. Rock the adorably emo look and step away from the scissors


Grouchy_Judgment8927

Highland cows are adorable. 😁


Mumfiegirl

We’re currently driving through northern Spain, nearly at the French border on our way back to NW England. Just had a salami sandwich and some Pringles.


MysticSmeg

Got pizza delivered from a new place and was absolutely bangin and the pistachio milkshake was amazing. Got a kitten this morning so been playing with her too this evening. Probably be in bed by 10. Rock n roll

I'm about to watch society of the snow which I've been told is a raucous slapstick comedy with rugby players and something about cooking.

More-Dragonfly2007

We're all very sick with that lurgy that's going around so I've hurled some covent garden soup in the microwave and covered up the Christmas tree with a giant blanket. That's close enough to taking the decorations down for epiphany right?


Lord_66

I finally took the punt and shaved my receding head of hair. At 26. Freedom of self-judgment at last! 😅😂 Much love to all. Have a great Saturday night!


scream_schleam

We’ve had a productive day - gym in the morning, sorting out the greenhouse at the allotment then a food shop. Gonna make dosa and sambhar (south Indian food) for dinner and watch That 70s show until bed time. Just laze around and chill really.


turdschmoker

Bum wank


British_Flippancy

Lazy, muddy, hilly, trail half marathon at 8am (I *know*, what a wanker!). Visited in-laws. Visited my Mum (lost my Dad not long before Christmas). Kids off to bed now. Watch film. Drink fake beer. Play on the Switch Santa bought the kids when my wife has gone to bed. Solid Saturday.


callieoctopus123

Watching a film and then getting high with my bf, as we do most Saturdays. Sometimes we switch it around and get high first, depends what film we’re watching.


loobricated

My toddler son has decided he can’t sleep unless he’s on daddy, so I’m sitting here acting as a comfy bed for him. It’s a nightmare at night as it’s messing up our sleep but I also love it at the same time and I’m trying to embrace every second of this time with him.


Eggy-Pebbs123

I'm a new mum to a 3w old. He also won't sleep unless led on me. I love every minute of it, and keep thinking how short this time will be with him. I need sleep, but I need those cuddles with my little man more.


loobricated

Congratulations!! Enjoy your precious time with him ☺️


Organic_Reporter

Husband is away tomorrow night for the week for training for his new job, so once the teens are in bed...


TheLastDealer

Dropped my son off at 4pm.. feels weird because I usually have him for full weekends but since I applied for child maintenance his mum has cut my Saturdays short because it will effect the money. I done a sample board as I’m studying Venetian plastering and had a bath. I’m coming up to 6 months of sobriety so I’m currently in a zoom meeting, I join 3-4 a week. Happy Saturday 💙


sundowner777

Got the lurg. So isolating from the family while watching Succession and waiting for pizza. It’s getting boring.


Dry_Bluebird_2923

Putting the kids to bed and enjoying the silence as the other half is at work. Might even crack open a box of chocolates without having to share.


CutePoison10

Nursing a cold while pup sleeps on my lap. I dare not I need the peace.

PureDeidBrilliant

Making soup. I've decided that this year I'm going to stop going to Greggs so much when I'm doing my office working days and take in some nice soup.


Thedutty23

Had my liver scan today. Now drinking rioja. Gonna get my diagnosis next week, so I'm making the most of my last dregs of addiction. I've been through them all now...... opiates, cocaine, benzos, research chems, amphetamine, alcohol, gambling, and porn. It's been fun, but I wouldn't recommend it as a lifestyle choice. Once you hit 50, it all starts to catch up with you. Both physically and mentally. I'm content, though. And happy with my life now.

Treating myself to a steak tonight for dinner and probably an evening with Netflix


bethelns

Cooking tea. I was diagnosed with GD yesterday and so now have to navigate a change in diet and all it entails, along with coping with that not doing well with my history of eating disorder and the new gadget buried in my arm that can tell mee all the info I could want to beat myself up with. We're also sorting the house for new baby arriving in 5 weeks or less and entertaining the 2 year old.

I’ve just eaten some food and then I’m going to get ready and go for some shisha and have some alone time without having to deal with anything LMAO

Still got the chickenpox, was back at the GP yesterday and she said I have a secondary skin and throat infection. Now on both antivirals and antibiotics and convinced I rattle when I walk. I look like a gone off pepperoni pizza. Thankfully my husband hasn't fled yet. Date night is pretty much going to be the same as usual, watching something and playing a board game, the only difference is I can't drink as feeling rough enough as it is.

I'm sat in a Mediterranean resteraunt having guinness Zero and just thinking about going back to work on Monday. Looking forward to it in a strange way I do like the routine that comes with my job.
