O/T Can't be bothered going out anymore...is it just me?!
Just wondering if I'm boring, or if anyone else feels the same...
A group of friends of mine are arranging a get together for a few weekends time. Usually what happens when we meet up is that we go for drinks in someone's house (which is usually the best bit!) then we head into town, traipse round various nightclubs trying to get in but there are always queues, then when we finally get in somewhere, queue for the bar, queue for the toilet, get squashed and covered in spilt drinks on the dancefloor.
i just cannot be bothered with this anymore and am trying to convince them to have a nice night in but they think I am boring, they really do. I would love nothing more than to have a night in someones house, a few drinks, takeaway, and some singing or dancing in the living room. I would even be happy to go to a nice bar or pub and sit chatting and having a laugh all night. But no, we have to stand in a nightclub and get pushed about. And is it just me or are all the girls in the bars about 18 and dressed in mini skirts.....i feel old. I feel that 10 years ago (eeeek) i was starting my partying phase and I just don't have the energy for it anymore!!
And when we go out we never get a chance to talk anyway as its so noisy. Whats the point?!

I'm exactly the same, i hate nightclubs, i'm only 24 but i feel like i did my partying when i was 16-19 and now i'm an old married lady a night in a club really doesn't appeal to me. I mean you can't even hear what your friends are saying!

I had about 6 years of going out all the time when I was a student etc, and as much as I love dancing, its just not worth the hassle of going out.
Plus. it usually involves too much drinking and then feeling bleugh the next day. The new healthy me does not need this!
(PLUS i can't afford it anymore LOL)
I could suggest one of the restaurants here that have a DJ later but we always go to the same places.
I suppose I can just grit my teeth and bear it...after all its only one night and its only every couple of months...but it just seems like such a waste of money to me LOL. And a precious night of my weekend gone!
That way you dont spend as much money, your feet dont feel like they are on fire, your new satin shoes dont get ruined by spilt drinks and you dont get some drunk guy hitting on you.
It doesnt help that I was sneaking into nightclubs at 15!! So by the time I hit my 20's I was past it.
What also put me right off was the last time we went clubbing, there was this woman, must have been in her mid 20's she was really, erm cheap, anyway she was so drunk she was flashing everyone her boobs (she had the shortest strapless white mini dress on), and then mooning guys who she couldnt pull. Then she took down her knickers and flashed everyone her bits...... (it gets much worse)........... a little while later she played with herself!! In full view of everyone!
So im a fudy duddy and im proud! Em xx
It really was one of those moments where you cant take your eyes of her because you are just in dumb founded shock.
After all there's no queue for the bar when the drinks are in your fridge! And no queue for the toilets when you have the comfort of your own bathroom!
touching in public?? that is really gross. I once saw a couple standing up on the dancefloor having sex. not teenagers either!!
i like a nice dinner out with friends, and then maybe feed the dancing habit at a fun bar, with a dancefloo. no clubs for me anymore, at the wise old age of 29.5 (when do my eggs start to shrivel up?....)
i prefer nice nights in with OH

PMSL.....now i know my ttc obsession is getting ridiculous!!!!! My 1st thought when I read that was "well thats not a good ttc position"???
Urrrmm how about GROSSS! Have had words with myself now..tehe xx
thought it was just me and TTC , good to know im not alone !! xxx
I also totally agree, most of them don't look like they're old enough to be in there in the first place! xx
I would like to say now though that I kinda wish I'd had one final good girlie night out, a proper blow out because already my lifestyle has changed because of my bean and it will be even more different when he/she arrives.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't swap my BFP for anything but there were some opportunities I didn't take to have a night out with the girls that I will never get back now.
I know I wil be able to get babysitters when bean is here but I will be a mummy then so will have to be more sensible - maybe!
Hooray that I'm pregnant and please don't think for one moment I'm moaning - because I'm really not, I'd pick being sober and fat over drunk and slim (ish) anyday!!
xx
Mithical..it only hit me today that most of the girls are at least 10 years younger than me. EEEK! Where did the last ten years go,I can remember my 18th birthday as clear as anything!!!
GLK...just be glad you didn't have a final massive hangover to deal with! And you can look forward to a good night out once the baby is born, your friends will still be there.
I used to really look forward to my nights out but recently they've just become a hassle!!!!
