How’s Your Friday Night Shaping Up So Far?

I’m feeling distinctly under the weather - got some sort of low level virus which just isn’t shifting. It’s been so dull & miserable today which really isn’t helping! Got a nice easy tea of fishfingers, chips & beans. We’ll watch Corrie & I might catch up with last night’s All Creatures Great & Small.

Currently catching up with Bake Off with a G&T. Don't know about dinner yet but thinking something easy with oven chips as it's felt like a long week!

Eyesopenwideawake · 18/10/2024 18:49

Just finished the last of the olive harvest here. So far we've got 22 bags, each weighing about 25kg and another 17 buckets to clean and bag up over the weekend ready to be turned into oil next week. Reckon we'll end up with about 800kg. So, this Friday night I'm filthy, very tired but with lovely soft hands!! About to pour a very large drink and collapse in front of the telly for the evening.

I’m currently sitting in the car on a street, waiting for 7pm when the party my daughter is at finishes. Will be dropping off a few other children on our way home, then home to make a very late tea for the rest of us then bedtime.

I’m in the pub with DP. It’s been a long week. I’m on my second glass of white. (He’s in the phone to his cousin I’m not being rude).

Im going to go home, have a bath, eat a fish pie, then watch gogglebox and Graham Norton and go to bed. Perfect. Friday. Night.

MessyNeate · 18/10/2024 18:53

I'm post nights running on 3 hours sleep.

DH and I have swapped Christmas presents Grin as he's back to sea on the weekend until jan 🥲

He's currently cooking dinner

I'm in my pjs on the sofa like a zombie

Hedjwitch · 18/10/2024 18:55

I'm in bed with hot chocolate and a book. Been a shit day.

FloatyBoaty · 18/10/2024 18:56

Have developed a shitty cold over the course of this afternoon, so ordered take out for dinner and am watching Dr Who on the sofa with DS. Have my laptop open as kidding myself I’m still going to finish writing a report for work that I want to send on Monday… We’ll see!

LBOCS2 · 18/10/2024 18:56

I've just collected DH and DSS from the station. I'm now hiding in my room watching the first episode of Rivals, with a glass of wine and a curry on the way. This is one of the better evenings I've had in a while!

Tarkan · 18/10/2024 18:57

I'm ill as well. I was away overnight on Tuesday to see a show and woke up Wednesday feeling like garbage (think I caught it from the theatre I help in as we finished a show run on Saturday and I was basically the only one who wasn't ill by the end of the run).

DH is out for a couple of drinks so I'm just snuggled up on the sofa in my PJs with a blanket and a nice hot cup of coffee.

HappyDane · 18/10/2024 18:59

I'm cooking - purple sweet potato wedges, avocado and tomato salad with garlic and coriander, steak, and smoked chilli and sour cream dip/sauce.

The kitchen is clean, we had a productive day (3 tip runs; building work...), DH is pottering upstairs and I'm sipping a glass of red.

Sorry you're unwell! Hope you feel better soon.

Nogodsnomasters · 18/10/2024 18:59

Laying on top of the bed with my "blanket with sleeves" on which my husband bought for me this week. Watching Home improvement episodes on Disney Plus until it's time (in an hour) to go pick up my husband from a colleagues leaving do he's currently at.

hopeishere · 18/10/2024 18:59

I've cleaned the kitchen and am thinking bath and then collapse on the sofa. It's been a long week and I'm exhausted. Glass of rose and gogglebox.

Fascinated by the olive harvest! And the pp who's DH is off to sea for months.

Bluemat · 18/10/2024 18:59

I'm about to get my oodie on. We've just had a Chinese takeaway that was extortionate. I'm still mildly seething about the price. I'm going to have a glass of wine and watch The Devils Hour on Prime

Taytocrisps · 18/10/2024 19:00

On my way home from work. DD is cooking a chicken stir fry so looking forward to that. I'll watch a bit of TV and then hit my bed.

GroovyChick87 · 18/10/2024 19:01

I'm going to get my younger kids to bed in an hour or so then I'm going to have a bath and have a glass of cava or 3 while watching the Big Brother eviction.

onwardandupwards · 18/10/2024 19:01

Youngest 2 dc are both poorly laying on the sofas with duvets watching paw patrol. Oldest 2 want roast pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and gravy for tea. I don't think our plans for a trip to the farm will be happening tomorrow!

VioletCrawleyForever · 18/10/2024 19:02

Sitting in an airport lounge eating snacks waiting for our flight home.

TokyoSushi · 18/10/2024 19:04

Bake off & last 2 episodes of Sweetpea for me with a blanket on the sofa, DH cooking dinner and DC chilling (Xbox) in their rooms. Animals asleep, all nice & peaceful here!

JennyWren87 · 18/10/2024 19:04

On my way to a nightshift on an oncology ward. Should be an easy night. Most of the patients are mobile and self-caring. Not like my usual bunch of 90 year old ladies. They usually tear up the ward on a Friday night :)

CocoapuffPuff · 18/10/2024 19:05

Fish and chips in oven for tea, 3 cats milling around hopefully, DH showering after a day's gardening work and plans to flop on sofa with book or telly after cleaning up.

NoItsStillNighttimeDarling · 18/10/2024 19:05

DH and I had a takeaway and bottle of wine planned but DS2 has just spectacularly projectile vomited whilst going to bed so I suspect I won't get either 😭😭😭😭

rightoguvnor · 18/10/2024 19:07

I've had a crappy day full of problems - all low level but so many that by 4pm I could've cried.
Better now after dh cooked sweet potato mash, sea bass with garlic and chilli and charred veg - delicious.
I only drink alcohol one evening a week and it's Friday. But not before 8pm so looking forward to a vodka and tonic in front of Corrie. With peanuts.

ChickenDeChick · 18/10/2024 19:09

Feeling a bit under the weather too so on the sofa under my blanket watching tv and mumsnetting. Both dc out, dh having a nap as also feeling poorly. Easy dinner of chicken and chips followed by an early night 😴

Ahhhhhbisto · 18/10/2024 19:11

Just finished Chinese takeaway. The house is all clean and tidy!
Everyone has bathed already and in pjs.

Now I am enjoing a bayleys whilst having a brief scroll on here then we will play cards/board games.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 18/10/2024 19:12

Dh made a delicious curry and has now gone out for the evening (playing in a concert). Last day of school for 16yo ds and me. It's been a manic half term. Ds is feeling under the weather. I'm going to choose a new knitting project to make with some gorgeous wool I bought, and start working on it in front of an old favourite film, with a cup of tea. #rockandrolllifestyle Grin
