What does your Saturday night look like?

I’ve had a bloody long week at work. Mentally drained and I’m staying in! Thoroughly enjoying having no plans.

Currently lying on the settee, eating crisps with a glass of wine. I’ll be up soon to make a cup of tea and eat some home made brownies before returning to this very spot.

Feel free to share your plans

Currently feet up on the sofa with DH and Ddog watching the end of the day’s cricket. Our Deliveroo is on way. Have tried a new Nepalese-Indian restaurant so hoping for good food based on reviews.

I broke up for a week’s holiday yesterday and we off to a countryside cabin next week will be packing after tea with a glass of non alcoholic peach bellini and DH has a beer.

We are TTC so will watch some more One Born Every Minute and get an early night.

Currently being pretend cried at by a toddler who won't sleep.

If she ever does, I'll have a quick bath to try out a new exfoliator and then my boyfriend is making bacon butties and we are going to do face masks, foot masks and drink some fizz! Hoping for a back massage too (a proper one, he's trained!).

We got home from hols last night so I've unpacked and put stuff away and done loads of washing. I've done a thorough sort of DDs room and bagged up a load of stuff for the charity shop. We also found headlice on me and both DC while we were away so I've nit shampooed and combed us all, and changed all the beds. I didn't stop all day and I'm worn out!

I've just sat down with a glass of red while DH cooks dinner. Once the DC are in bed we'll start watching the 2nd series of Good Omens.

Snowpaw · 29/07/2023 18:56

Pork belly in the oven getting crackly. DD being read a story by Dad. Mid way through season 4 of Succession so we will watch a bit of that and in bed by 9.15! I'm tired.

SorrowsPrayers · 29/07/2023 19:08

I'm just getting changed into my Saturday night going out clothes.
Then I'm going to sit in a field with my camera and wait for a barn owl to come out.
My Saturday night outfit has changed a lot since I was young!

AssertiveGertrude · 29/07/2023 19:10

Ah that’s lovely ! I love barn owls

I am contemplating going to Aldi for a cocktail pouch thing 🤣🤣

FlipFlopFlabrador · 29/07/2023 19:10

Pizza and Pilsner in beautiful Bratislava, with a view of the Blue Church and passing trams. Followed by an evening playing Battleships at the hotel because my travelling companion is eleven!

AssertiveGertrude · 29/07/2023 19:14

Ah enjoy !! Sounds idyllic

Musicalmistress · 29/07/2023 19:34

Just back from a long holiday yesterday so did a bit of tidying and went to visit DPIL today. Then I went for a sleep when we got home (still recovering from a long term illness) & OH watched football and did shopping.
Just awake & showered, sitting drying off with a glass of fizz whilst OH cooks steaks. Probably watch a film then I'll be back in bed by half ten.

CurlewKate · 29/07/2023 20:02

DP barbecuing steak, pak Choi and potatoes. Red wine. Next in our rewatch of Good Onens. Bed.

Rocknrollstar · 29/07/2023 20:05

GD staying with us so ordered a pizza. She’s gone upstairs to talk to boyfriend so we are listening to the prom. Remember a time when I was out every Saturday night and booked for months ahead.

OHVanessaShanessaJenkins · 29/07/2023 20:09

Watching US Office.
house is spotless, all laundry done and put away.
left over vegie spag bol for tea.

Have the house to my self all weekend, therefore no one else’s crap to tidy, clean or clear.
Time. of. My. Life!

TheChosenTwo · 29/07/2023 20:11

Hosted a big party last night so today has been hungover cleaning and tidying plus a takeaway on the sofa tonight. Tomorrow we are at a festival and I’ve got Monday off to properly recover 😂

mummybear247 · 29/07/2023 20:12

Currently I'm trying to get 7 month old ds to sleep but he's not having any of it sat babbling away to him self other dd is a fast a sleep looks like I'm for a long night x

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 29/07/2023 20:12

Done a king prawn stirfry with noodles and pak choi, now having a cup of tea and watching Ray Mears on BBC4.

RabbitsRock · 29/07/2023 20:13

Good thread OP. Tea was going to be bangers, double cream mash, carrots & petitpois but DH has a dodgy tum so I’m doing a frozen fish pie for me & he’s thinking about cheese on toast. We’ve had a hell of a week so just going to flop tonight. Gradually working our way through “ Greys Anatomy “. I’m drinking Chardonnay. DD14 is lurking in her room as per.

piefacedClique · 29/07/2023 20:14

Binge watching tv…. Nearly at the finals of Masterchef Australia…. Sad Jock Zonfrillo has died. Third glass of red wine in hand….. have eaten a chorizo bolognese pasta my lovely husband has made and I’m avoiding conversation from my kids. All in all a good night!

Echobelly · 29/07/2023 20:15

Very quiet, and thank God! Leading up to this we've had about 6 weekends of almost non stop commitments. Teenager has gone to theatre with friends, DS is chilling out, I'm doing a few bits and bobs around packing DS for residential summer camp that starts on Monday (teen is going to but can do all their own packing). Next weekend - child free! Planning on doing stuff like historic town visits and long walks that the kids tend to complain about. 😃

Yetisrus29 · 29/07/2023 20:16

Test Match Special then Casualty then bed. It's been quite boring today except for rugby earlier.

I actually miss my old social life when I was out all weekend every weekend, now I go through months where its nothing and others where its non-stop.

troppibambini6 · 29/07/2023 20:21

We went for drinks last night and despite only having 3 glasses of wine I've felt shocking all day.
Went for a long walk with friends, kids and dogs and I've just finished an amazing Lebanese take away.
I'm flopped in the sofa with my rather large clingy dog who thinks he's the size of a chihuahua rather than the staffy he is.

SunshineIndoors123 · 29/07/2023 20:23

Saturday nights DH always find a new recipe and cooks something nice while I put the toddler to bed. We always buy in a nice dessert, and usually eat then have a glass of wine while watching a film. We have no one to babysit for us, so it is as close to a date as we get these days!

Simonjt · 29/07/2023 20:32

We’re on a little childfree weekend away, my husband is having a nap on a little lounger in the garden. When he gets up we’re going to watch an episode of The Silo, go for a little evening walk then drink beer in the hot tub.

Cosycover · 29/07/2023 20:34

I had afternoon drinks and I am ready for bed tbh. But will need to stay awake until its the children's bedtime.

CeriB82 · 29/07/2023 20:36

Mine is like yours OP. Ive gone up to full time now and relish a lazy weekend.

i potter and mooch and generally don’t like seeing anyone except DH and the kids. 1 kid is home (sn adult though! The other 2 are out. Dh is outside pottering. Just had pasta and a glass of wine watching Channel 5. A documentary about Fergie.

Friendshipissue · 29/07/2023 20:37

Just fed toddler who screamed at us exorcist style the whole day. Now waiting for his bed time so that DH and I can relax with a film if we can stay awake.
