Have a waz, brush teeth, occasionally moisturise, bed.

In winter my husband gets in bed and warms my side up for me first, that's as luxurious as it gets in my house.

BillieJ · 16/09/2024 21:57

I do all of the bath and skin care malarkey before I flop on sofa for evening in PJs. On rare occasion when I'm not home before 9pm, I'll do it when I get home and then go downstairs. On the even rarer late nights, I'll just do enough to be comfortable in bed and catch up in the morning.

Ha ha don't worry, the handwashing comes before the teeth cleaning! I generally was my face, too...

Xyz1234567 · 16/09/2024 21:59

I'd be up all night to go to the loo if I drank water at bedtime!
I put on my pyjamas, have a pee, wash hands and clean my teeth. Then it's into bed with the cat, lights off and listen to the next episode of Lucy Worsley's Ladykillers.
