Nothing beats the feeling of...

A well stocked fridge...

A full tank of petrol in a freshly cleaned car...

Fully stocked bathroom with toiletries, new bars of soap, plenty of loo roll, new tube of toothpaste...

A full wood store and full basket of wood by the fire...

Ugh. I love the feeling. I think I have a bit of prepper in me. I love the actual act of stocking it all up and then looking at it like a caveman who's brought home a leg of mammoth for the family.

Waking up every day knowing i have no responsibility for anyone other than myself.
Spotless home.
No better feeling than doing what the fuck i want without having to care or compromise.
Total bliss.

Putting your out of office on!

Sliding into bed with the electric blanket on.

I'll raise you getting into a freezing cold bed when you are boiling hot.

DH likes the woodburner on, my face is the colour of a tomato and I've just got into an ice cold bed on my own to sleep after a super busy work week. I'm very pleased about this!

(and spare cold pillow on the floor next to me so I can swap pillows in the night when I get too hot in bed!)

When you're at the cinema about to watch a film you've been dying to see. That feeling of settling down and checking out of the real world for a couple of hours.

I think this has to be the ultimate feeling of all doesn't it?

Show quote history

See, this is weird to me. Does everyone else gave much better orgasms I wonder? They are nice enough I suppose but in the scheme of satisfying things I much prefer looking at my clean and tidy house/ organised well stocked cupboards/ clean pj’s and bedsheets and best of all curling up with my cat listening to her tiny snores.

Getting home after a day of being miserable outside or a long journey.

MyProudHare · 18/01/2025 20:44

Turning the overhead lights off and putting the fairy lights on.

Feeling virtuous when coming home to a slow cooker stew, and the lovely smell.

Getting on to start a train journey, settling down in booked seats with a train picnic... on an uncrowded train.

Waking up early in a panic, realising you still have two hours until your alarm, stretching back out to sleep

This is similar to one of the worst feelings, your child waking up 2 hours before your alarm and not going back to sleep, or letting you go back to sleep 😭

Flopsy145 · 18/01/2025 20:30

Standing in the woods in silence, no car noise, no people, just a bit of quiet time.

Getting into freshly made bed, having just had a shower, with clean PJs on.

Dont you normally remove the PJs BEFORE the shower?😁

Darkdiamond · 18/01/2025 20:21

When your toddler starts sleeping through the night. Bed times take on a new level of amazingness!

Being terribly sleep deprived for a long time and finally catching up on your sleep. This happened last night...had 12 hours in 2 blocks of 6....I felt amazing this morning!! 😭

TheOpalReader · 18/01/2025 20:19

Clean bedding, freshly shaved legs and doing the cricket leg rubbing together.

The first day of feeling better after a cold, being able to breathe out of your nose and get a full night's sleep.

A cough fart combo, gross but getting rid of a tickle and trapped wind at the same time, bliss.

Leaving the dentist.

With your bank balance hugely depleted!

Perzival · 18/01/2025 20:09

Yes clean bedding but I raise you.....

Kids asleep, Clean bedding, freshly showered, shaved legs and that first touch when you haven't had any in a while 😉

My idea of heaven. Although at the moment nothing would beat the feeling of the washing machine deciding not to break and flood the kitchen 🤔

Show quote history

We also have a flooded kitchen courtesy of a burst pipe, so the water has been shut off.
fortunately our neighbours on each side are plumbers and one said he’ll pop round soon!

Hope your flood gets sorted soon!

A scrubbed house with a lit candle! Kids’ uniforms all laid out for the week ahead, my work clothes washed and ironed for the week ahead, school/ work bags packed and by the door, freezer full of meal prepped foods, reaching ground zero with the washing… is it obvious I’m aggressively type A?!?!?

Edited

Would love to see your daily routine! I can only dream of this level of organisation.

For me it would be fresh bed linen

DarkDarkNight · 18/01/2025 20:07

Getting into a bed with an electric blanket, ah it’s bliss.

VonHally · 18/01/2025 20:07

Moving swiftly on from Napalm 😊I adore the indulgence of going to bed early, earbuds charged, electric blanket on, and snuggling down to watch some shite on Facebook reels or Netflix. Has to be rubbish as I can never stay awake long enough to follow anything requiring concentration. It's especially delicious following a tiring day when the bones and the muscles crave rest. Aaaaagh.

Tootiredmummyof3 · 18/01/2025 20:05

CoffeeCakeAndALattePlease · 18/01/2025 18:29

Fresh bed linen, clean pjs and fresh out the bath/shower. Tucked up all clean with a cuppa, some chocolate and a book. Bliss.

@Yougetmoreofwhatyoufocuson

Actual Napalm? The kind that was used in the Vietnam war and whose descendants are still having profoundly disabled babies? Why would you say such a thing?

Ah... come on now.
