It's Friday night - what's everyone doing ?

I'm at home with DH. Not sure if I fancy a drink or not as I'm trying to lose weight. Dh has poured a drink for himself. We're booking some flights tonight for a weekend getaway with friends later in the year. DC will be doing own thing. I've got some washing to sort.

Long gone are the messy Friday nights out. I cba with that anymore. Prefer quieter sofa nights with DH. I occasionally long for a mad Friday night out but it's more fomo. I go out for an hour, the pub is too busy/noisy/crowded/ full of idiots and Im ready to go home

We're currently waiting for the fish & chip van to arrive in the village.

I'm also starting to do some random packing as we go on holiday fairly soon. It is self-catering, so accumulating such things as dishcloths and tea bags et al.

Had a ladies day out today. Beautiful weather, we visited Jane Austin’s house. Had lunch in Cassandra’s cup and a stroll through the village.
Now home exhausted as it was a long drive. I don’t fancy cooking so it will be cheese and crackers. There’s blood orange cider in the fridge for later and Have I Got News for You

Doing DS4 bedtime then chill with snacks from the garden centre. We have a date night tomorrow so will make the most of the weekend then. Can't wait.

CatteryCatz · 13/06/2025 18:54

I built a small LEGO set this afternoon and we’ve just ordered a Domino’s pizza. Once we’ve eaten, we’re going to continue re-watching Pretty Little Liars.

Just about to go and lie in a cool bath. I am ridiculously hot and bothered, my eyelids are sweating and as a result I'm grumpy.

I will then lie on my bed, with fan on me until it is cool enough for me to feel human.

I'm not a fan of hot humid sticky days.

Prepared nice food, chicken, ciabatta and salad etc. DH has cleaned the whole house so sank onto the sofa with a 0% beer. Soaps, Gogglebox and then ready for bed. I'm 50 though so mad Friday nights are a distant memory 😅

Drinking fizzy wine, celebrating the fact that we’ve been very dull and saved up to pay off our mortgage a few years early. Now wondering around thinking “I own this bit”… “and this bit”!

DepositSaverUpper · 13/06/2025 19:15

Having a shower into pj's and a cuppa in bed. Dcs will watch TV in their rooms / play they are only allowed tv in room on a non school night so they love it.

Thislittlekitten · 13/06/2025 19:18

Just had tea now everyone is settling down to relax. DH and DS on a computer game, DD is making something in the kitchen.

Im watching Gold on iplayer. Really enjoying it. Think will
pour a gin soon.

Walkingwithdinosaurs · 13/06/2025 19:19

On the sofa with a tea after a busy day at work. Feeling grateful it’s the weekend. Not doing much tonight but tomorrow we’re off out for the day and then we’ve booked a table for the 4 of us at a new restaurant in town. Quite looking forward to that.

Bootsnall · 13/06/2025 19:20

@chosenone I feel you. I'm early 50s

Watered the garden plants. Had fish and salad for dinner. In PJs and looking forward to Gardeners’ World.

CandyCane457 · 13/06/2025 19:22

My boyfriend is out and I’m currently sat in pjs with a face mask on and home made nandos in the oven. Going to watch some trashy TV later as I slowly pack up some of our living room knick-knacks into boxes as we are exchanging on our new house on Thursday…I’m 31 weeks pregnant so it will be VERY slow!
I too am so over big messy boozy nights out and feel much more content now with this little life 😊

Snap - watered the poly tunnel, now sitting in the sun with a cocktail, Gardener’s World later. And maybe Murderbot.

I haven’t eaten yet though. It’s too warm, I can’t be arsed.

Congratulations!

When we bought our first house I worked out the price per square foot and each year we’d toast owning another little bit of it.

”The cupboard under the stairs is ours!” 🍾

We’re two years off totally owning this house and I can’t bloody wait.

goodnightssleepbenice · 13/06/2025 19:29

I’m debating whether to walk to Tescos for some wine but really need to clean the plinths in the kitchen for the new floor going down tomorrow, and really need to put blow up bed over for ds’s sleepover . Can’t be bothered to do anything, work has drained me

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/06/2025 19:31

Working, listening to the radio and wondering what to have for dinner.

SpacedOutOut · 13/06/2025 19:33

I just finished a 10 day run of shifts at work….massively understaffed and I need the £££ so not complaining! Came home with a bottle (maybe 2) of wine so opened one at dinner. Have the house to myself this evening so taking a (third) glass into the bath in a mo! Day off tomorrow so no alarm set. Tho thanks to peri I’ll likely be wide awake from 2/3 am!

CarbsafterMarbs · 13/06/2025 19:33

I’m currently sitting with a glass of wine with a homemade doner kebab cooking. Have been packing some clothes etc today for our upcoming holiday.

Username2151 · 13/06/2025 19:36

Friday nights as they were are a distant memory for me too, but what makes Fridays roll now is ordering two loaded tray pizzas combined with a green salad so that DS1 can get to kickboxing on time.
Then it's party time on the sofa with DH, a bottle of fizz, some nibbles for later and Netflix.

Ribenaberry12 · 13/06/2025 19:48

Just had a takeaway and no watching the documentary about the submersible on Netflix. It is very hot and muggy.

TeenLifeMum · 13/06/2025 19:51

Waiting for dc to finish drama club so I can go home and drink gin. Not a bad wait though. I’m sat on a bench in the village wild flower patch on a warm evening listening to the birds (and a slightly odd sound I can’t place from the farm behind the hedge).

fixingmylife · 13/06/2025 19:54

Trying to unblock an outside drain, but I'm losing the motivation and it might have to wait until tomorrow now...

gggrrrargh · 13/06/2025 19:55

I’m waiting for Pulp to start at the 02 area in London. Very excited :)

Sidebeforeself · 13/06/2025 19:56

DH and I met up for a cheeky drink at 4pm..have been to bed 😉now having a deli tea and watching mindless TV.
