Sunday night routines

[woahnow]

Does anyone have any nice, comforting routines on Sunday evenings, from about 5pm onwards.. to ward off the Sunday blues?

Have young DC so can’t be anything too decadent, but I have promised myself I will do something to tackle this weekly dread-fest in 2025!

I always have a bath on sunday night and paint my nails. I also shave my legs so Im all ship shape for the week. I sort uniforms, make sure that there's bread out of the freezer. The prep makes me happy. Then I try to get an early night! Obv I don't always manage it!

We do dessert/pudding with a movie after dinner on Sundays.

Always a lovely long bath! I get my salts or bath bombs, oils, etc., out and pop them in. Candles lit, some nice music on and I have a good soak. Fresh pj's afterwards, some skin care, and then I settle down to read on the sofa under a nice comfy blanket.

Dinner is often something easy and comfort-foody. Tonight was jacket spuds with beans and cheese, but my favourite in the winter is colcannon. Summertime it's usually a salmon salad, just throwing stuff in a bowl and frying the fish, maybe a few warm new potatoes.

DH gets out clothes for the next day (for all of us, I tell him what I want), and then we settle down for an episode of something funny we both like. We always do a nice pot of loose tea, too. Tonight it's Moondrops (I think that's the name) from Bird & Blend.
