-Getting into a freshly changed bed straight from having a shower.
-A soak in a hot bubble bath with a good book and a bacon sarnie.
-dancing round the room to the one tune that I can't help but sing to.
-Finding a massive spot on my DH and him letting me at it.
-flopping on the sofa with an icy cold can of lemonade after I've scrubbed the house from top to bottom

  • soaking my feet in a bowl of hot water while watching TV
  • reading a brilliant book with a family sized bag of Minstrels
  • Having lunch in the park in the sunshine

-Snuggling up under a blanket on the sofa with b&w films when it's raining
-Spending ages just kissing my DH
