How’s Your Saturday Evening Shaping Up?

Just cooking tea - really hungry as I’ve hardly eaten all day. DD16 & her friend who is staying over will do theirs afterwards. I took them to Tescos to buy it plus snacks & drinks. It’s miserable out, super dark & raining. Found out Gladiators isn’t on until next week so we’ll no doubt watch more of The Resident or maybe a film.

DP has announced we are having a takeaway which is unexpected but very welcome! Had a long day out today at museum with children and I'm on duty to get them both to bed then can't wait to enjoy said takeaway with a film or series whatever we can find

Alwaystired2023 · 11/01/2025 18:28

What are you cooking for tea?

GroovyChick87 · 11/01/2025 18:30

I'm having a glass of wine while cooking dinner for me and my husband.The kids have had their tea already. Then we'll watch the Masked Singer, have more drinks and listen to music when they're in bed.

Shaping up to have a very cosy evening.

House is clean, dogs have been walked, fire is lit, have a candle burning. Going to cook an easy dinner then pour some wine and watch shite tv. Have nice biscuits for later.

Weather is miserable here. Very thick fog, cold, and raining all day. Glad to be home tonight.

Just finished homemade air fried fish and chips. Got a really crispy crumb using slightly stale bread which was nice. Had with tartare sauce and roughly mashed peas with a little Parmesan.

DH is walking DDog and then we settle down on front of the fire and either find a film or carry on with New Amsterdam. We watched Wicked last week which was nice and keen to do again and then an options hot chocolate before bed. Looking forward to a bit of a lie in tomorrow after an early start today.

Stressybetty · 11/01/2025 18:31

Been back in bed feeling rotten, Thinking of getting up and transferring to the sofa. Masked singer later on catch up without ads and probably a film before that.

MoanyMcMoanington · 11/01/2025 18:33

Had an easy day, already in my PJ's. Currently listening to Crowded House whilst cooking mexican pork belly and rice then will sit down to watch The Masked Singer and maybe a nice easy watch film later.

EllaPaella · 11/01/2025 18:34

Very nicely so far.. was meant to be going out for mexican food and cocktails but I fell on icy pavements this morning and really bruised my thigh so decided that alcohol and icy streets don't mix!
Had a lovely hot bath earlier, read my book on the sofa and DH made pulled pork for dinner which I am now washing down with a nice bottle of red. Just about to watch a film with the fire on, nice and cosy.

KingscoteStaff · 11/01/2025 18:35

Waited 3 hours at the hospital in the hope that my DM would be released, but care package still not agreed. Will try again tomorrow...!

Then did big shop for the first time since DD went back to university and DS moved into his new flat. Bill has halved!

Radiatorvalves · 11/01/2025 18:36

I’m in the Far East, massively jet lagged. It’s now 1.30am and I’m faffing on MN. Had a lovely day and looking forward to tomorrow (if I ever sleep/wakeup). It’s too bloody hot in the room too!

RabbitsRock · 11/01/2025 18:36

Stressybetty hope you feel better soon 💐💐💐

Oh sounds lovely we had that last night such a nice meal in the cold too

RachelCarew · 11/01/2025 18:58

I’m bored tbh, have finished a book this evening.

Sick of the snow and ice. I’ve got a head cold so cba to do anything productive and my headache is developing so I don’t want to start anything new.

Not sure I’ve got the attention span for audible/TV/films either.

This isn’t like me, my plans were cancelled due to snow today and I’m just feeling worse cold wise as the day goes on.

AChickenPooAndABiscuit · 11/01/2025 18:59

Other half is in spare room with a raging ear infection, just started antibiotic spray. So I’m on my own with the dog - might head up and snuggle into bed and find something to watch… Dog will be happy Grin

CalicoPusscat · 11/01/2025 19:00

Macaroni cheese and vegetables
Followed by tea and lemon cheesecake

Watching a psychological thriller

ThewrathofBethDutton · 11/01/2025 19:16

Walked into the kitchen to cook tea and saw that it is a complete shit tip from the lazy fuckers in this house so I got a tub of something out of the freezer, nuked it for me and made my youngest child something then walked out.

I’ve gone to bed to leave them all to their filth. Absolutely sick to the back teeth of cleaning and tidying up after them all so they can fuck off.

Im going to go out in the morning and not come back until late, they can sort themselves out.

So I’m pretty miserable, trying to think of a way out of this and seriously planning my exit.

AuntieMarys · 11/01/2025 19:17

I'm in a and e..dislocated shoulder just put back and waiting for x ray results on broken bone. Could cry.
Well i have

I was scrolling quickly and I genuinely read it as 'other half in spare room with a raging erection '
That's made my Saturday night scrolling MN.😂

DH is in the kitchen cooking us steak, chips and garlic mushrooms. Chocolate mousse for after. I'm laying on the sofa being stared at by a large floofy menace, masquerading as a cat! Trying to decide if I want a party for my 40th this summer... worried nobody would come!!
Dinner, Casualty and maybe an episode of Chicago med and then bed. It's been a busy week and next week is even crazier!

peachgreen · 11/01/2025 19:49

I was going to make turkey chilli but DD insisted on making scones so we’re running too late now. DP is making fish finger sandwiches instead! Delightful. Then will light the candles, make a cup of tea and get started on some work reading (sounds worse than it is, it’s a book I think I’ll quite enjoy!).

itsme189 · 11/01/2025 19:54

Currently hiding in the kitchen from my 4 month old while my husband tries to get her to sleep, if she sees my face she gets too excited hha
