Staying in is the new going out…
Well it isn’t really, but it is nice to take a break from the social scene every once in a while.
Recharge the batteries, and have all those admirers missing you out on the town tonight.
Here are the 8 reasons why it is great that you're staying in.
1. You’re Losing Weight*

Think about it, drink and mixers (and Jägerbombs) contain a serious amount of calories. So too does the unnecessary takeaway before you grab your taxi. Instead you’re at home helping your body by sitting in having a Chinese and eating chocolate, the calories are considerably less.
*Technically
2. Healthy Bank Balance
Next trip to the ATM will be a glorious one and you won't find Copper Face Jacks appearing on your bank statement next month either. Brilliant.
3. Me Time
You’ve been wanting to do it all week, but with work and other commitments you never got around to chilling out. So now you can have a relaxing long hot soak in the bath and if you’re feeling up to it, catch up with a few friends.
4. You’re Becoming Mysterious
You are making a conscious decision not to become part of the furniture at the local pub or club, thus creating a sense of mystery. Admirers will wonder where you are tonight? Is she on a date? Have I missed my chance?
5. No Fear

There is nothing quite like that feeling of waking up and the events from the night previous trickling slowly back. You lie in bed thinking about all the self-destruction that was carried out. *Pulls duvet over ones head with fear.*
6. You’ll Be Fresh For Mass In The Morning
Staying in tonight will mean that you’re up and at mass in perfect time, and you’ll not be offering up your prayers in the hope that everyone who you encountered last night forgets all the cringey things you done.
7. Perfect Your Dance Moves For Next Week
Invite the girls over and initiate a dance off next week... And WIN!
8. Better Prepared For Next Saturday Night
Next Saturday night will be great. You’ll have more money, more dance moves, and more attention after being so badly missed tonight.

So sit back, relax and enjoy ladies.
Wine anyone?
