At night ... crisp clean cool sheets, cuppa tea and some tele! Is it sad that it's arguably the best part of my day 😂. Late 40s work full time and teenage DC

@thewonderfulmrswatsonoh my goodness I didn’t know there was such a thing as grocery haul videos - I cannot express how up my street this is!

That’s my evening sorted - thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Clean sheets or not, although obviously the best, I just love my bed. Lights off and listening to radio 4

FettleOfKish · 15/04/2026 19:28

Absolutely! Circumstances mean that nearly 2 year old DS is still in our room so we can only go to bed to sleep, or maybe read a kindle or listen to a podcast on headphones. He’ll be moving into his own room soon and I can’t wait to make our new bedroom (we’ve moved) a sanctuary of loveliness that I can retreat to and drink tea / read / watch something at my leisure. We’ve already ordered our new bed and splashed out on much more expensive bedding than we’d usually go for and it’s divine.

This has always been an amazing thing to me, how can it not be! Sleep/rest/chilling is what we need

User0311 · 15/04/2026 19:35

The BEST part of the day for me by far!

Wynter25 · 15/04/2026 19:46

Best place to be

It’s my favourite place on earth. Some mornings I say bye to my lovely bed and tell it I’ll see it soon.

I really wish I was joking.

Definitely normal. I calculate how many hours it is until I can get back into it.

At the weekend I start watching the clock, even when I've only just woken up from a mid afternoon nap 😂

SomethingSScintillating · 15/04/2026 19:55

Agree

My duvet is as light a as cloud.
Heated.blankets.
I'm not entirely happy with my mattress however

Post-warm shower and fresh sheets - heaven on earth.

Abso-bloody-lutely my lovely x

My favourite treat is going to bed around the longest summer days while it's still light and feeling smug that all the people I can hear outside don't know what they are missing!

Doggodoggo · 14/04/2026 23:20

But if you go to bed with a drink isn't it then horrible to have ti get out and get cold while your brush your teeth etc? I cant relax in bed until im completely ready.

This is why I only have fizzy water.

InNewYorkNoShoes · 15/04/2026 20:01

It’s perfect. It’s waaayyyy better than sat on the sofa.

Planner2026 · 15/04/2026 20:02

Oooh yes, I love being in bed on a summer evening while the light changes. Light duvet on, clean sheets.

tinyladybird · 15/04/2026 20:07

I'm early 30s and with you! No teens but small baby. Nothing I love more, the earlier the better too. Only annoying thing is having to get out of bed to brush my teeth after my tea and snack.

Edited to add - and some classic fm with my book. Good I sound old 😂

emmetgirl · 15/04/2026 20:19

It’s up there with the best feelings in the world.

theonlygirl · 15/04/2026 20:22

Absolutely the best part of the day. I was thinking about upgrading the whole experience to 5* hotel level bedding.....until I estimated the cost.

JacknDiane · 15/04/2026 20:24

I went to harrods recently and the only places I want to see are the food hall and the bedding department. OMG some of those beds, I didn't even look at the prices. They were just gorgeous 😍

YelramBob · 15/04/2026 20:30

Shower + PJ's + cats + Netflix are the best bed combo. Until the hot flushes kick in - PJ's and cats get flung off 🥵😳🤣

Imaginary86 · 15/04/2026 20:34

Getting into bed at night is one of the best parts of my day

EllaPepper · 15/04/2026 20:40

i think getting into bed is like a mini orgasm - just the pure relief that the day is over, the release of stress and tension, the pleasure of what i like to call 'sundried bedding', and i think i even make the same noise as i snuggle down under the covers.....

MrsTrellisOgleddCymru · 15/04/2026 20:46

It's absolutely blissful! Fresh sheets, cup of tea or hot chocolate, a good book or a bit of television! Hot water bottle in the winter or the fan in the summer. There's no feeling like it, especially as DH works nights and I get the bed almost all to myself! My border collie insists he has to be on the bed!
