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.

Running in the morning by the river with birds singing at sunrise. (smug)
Also: massage. (just had one and feel great.)

Having the house to myself and getting into bed for a nap, I put the hairdryer under the cover for 10 minute for ultimate warmth/comfiness. 😂 Don’t come at me about fire risk I’m here careful and have done this for years.

Sinking my freezing cold body into a hot bath.
An early night with fresh bed linen, even better if it's new.
Knowing all the housework is done when I've got the house completely to myself and time to relax.
Back tickled and hair stroked while falling asleep.

Sinking my hot and bothered body into a cold lake

It probably also brings about satisfaction of being able to afford it. There's a great comfort in not worrying about these things.

Sliding into a hot bath.

ALONE.

ViciousCurrentBun · 18/01/2025 18:42

New socks, I bought three pairs of cashmere socks today in TK Maxx for £9.

Tea and toast

Fresh linen, shaved legs.

Getting off the plane on the steps and feeling that wall of warmth hit you 😭

This is a good one 😊 I swear I feel my shoulders drop by about 6 inches!

Realising you're feeling well/normal after being ill /In pain for ages!

Sitting in my own living room, after nearly two years of trying to buy my own place, in complete solitude just doing wtf I want...bliss

Fresh, clean bed linen.

This - preferably line dried...

CarrottsandPeaz · 18/01/2025 18:36

I have a full fridge today, a clean house with a candle going and I'm about to have a bubble bath then get into fresh sheets. Even better, I didn't do any of the shopping/washing/bed making as DH did it all.

A good clean fart.

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

Show quote history

Not for me, I really dislike it, it makes me feel really sick!

I add sinking onto the sofa for an afternoon snooze once the dogs have been walked and the house cleaned and no-one will be home for hours. I love the sound and feeling of solitude.

Brewing the first coffee of the day whilst watching the magpies coming to feed at the bird table

Love magpies. I had four generations visit my balcony and bring their babies to be fed over the years.
I have a garden now and we do get magpies but I'll treasure my years as the human ally to a family.

Cleaning your ears

pinkdelight · 18/01/2025 18:33

Free parking. Free public loos. That kinda thing. Sad but true.

DollopOfFun · 18/01/2025 18:32

Sorry to lower the tone, but a big tummy deflating fart first thing in the morning (I'm not a windy person other than that).

And bin day, after they've been and you've managed to get every last atom of rubbish out the house.

Im pretty basic, obviously.

hazelnutvanillalatte · 18/01/2025 18:28

I'm exactly the same. I also love storm prep haul videos, watching people in North America stocking up in anticipation of hurricanes/blizzards/etc

Where? I think I need some of these videos in my life!!

Fresh, clean bed linen.

...when you've just shaved your legs.

LostMyLanyard · 18/01/2025 18:31

Also...as a teacher, finally uploading my completed lesson plans for the week ahead, knowing that I don't need to turn my laptop back on until Monday morning 😬

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.
