I am toying with the almost unprecedented idea of indian food delivery. Have to order way too much to meet the minimum order requirement.... but it would mean I don't have to get dressed, go out, try to find a parking space, walk 1/4 of a mile and stand in the shop and wait I couldn't phone ahead as I wouldn't know what parking was like/available until close by.

Edit: No ... can't bring myself to do that .... might just have to find the inner strength to go and get it in 1-2 hours' time

Get the delivery.

Seriously.

No one should do it regularly (less its free because you are so close and it's a big city) but after a first week of new job...do it. Have a lovely bath/shower, get into comfy clothes/pjs, and get a plate ready.

Spoil yourself. Please.

You could phone ahead, you could even ask where is easiest to park. If parking is a problem they will know this and keep food hot until you arrive.

If you have a delivery it is still necessary to get dressed to some extent!:eek:

The trouble is, I don't want to walk from the car parks - and, more to the point, pay a bl00dy £1 to park. If parking were free it wouldn't be such an issue. So, I know WHERE to park, I'm just too tight, so then have to try to find free slots in side roads. Only free car park is a dark/remote gay cruising spot.... although I guess I'm 'safe' on that score, not being a bloke I don't look like I'm there for a bit of nooky

Not really, unless she plans to order from them again

Collecting is £5.
Home delivery is minimum order, so probably £10-£12.

And don't say "order extra, you can eat it tomorrow" - that's what I do with £5s worth

Well, stop it. Relax, feel the power of the nice people saying.....just relax, spoil yourself...just once, you never have to do it again, but you deserve to be spoilt just once at least . You don't want to drive, you have had a week earning, you are not in debt and a takeway is a treat for you, so make it a proper treat.

Also, if you go out its a Saturday night, more layered up people about.
