I’ll start:

~ turn the setting on the toaster down
~ turn the heating down
~ open all the windows
~ remove all the wierd condiments cluttering up the kitchen counter and put them away properly
~ scrub the kitchen to within an inch of its life
~ clear all the wierd pots of things that he eats on toast out of the fridge and do a grocery order containing all the food I like
~ remove or wash all of his dirty laundry that lies alongside the laundry basket and either wash it or dump it elsewhere depending on how generous I’m feeling
~ steal his pillows 😄

Anyone else?

Oh and I can live out my maladaptive daydreams. In one of my story arcs that has been going on for 20 years, I am a master swordsman so I can jump around the bedroom and onto the bed fighting the bad guys.

I think you win the thread!😀

I go to bed earlier. I'm much more shattered after work from sorting the kids/house/dog when he is away and I'm done in by 9pm.

Pre children I'd read. Read all day but fitting in a nap in the afternoon and evening unless meeting up with friends. DH is a chatty one and I am often so tired - I fall asleep when reading now.

M&S meal deal for two, for just me, plus a gooey dessert and a chilled bottle of prosecco or white wine. Watch all the horror films or series I can manage and go to bed late.

Yes watch trash on TV

I binge watched old Waterloo road and did some craft

He thinks it is kids tv, it was bliss
