DH is away for several months and the DC are going to stay with my DSis for a week, which means is just me! And work obvs but I’ll have 5 evenings completely free to please myself! Honestly I’m so excited. Literally never had this in 15 years so want to make the most of it.
so far I know I want to have my hair done one evening, but I need more ideas!

how would you celebrate an evening just for yourself?

I would:

Not cook for five days. Only takeaways of my choice

Catch up with friends/family over dinner

Watch TV of my choice

Read books whilst having tea and chocolate.

Have a long soak in the bath, then lie down in my bath robe listening to soothing sleep music until the morning.

Fart whenever I need to without holding it in.

Make plans with friends or enjoy the time alone

I’d do 2 nights of reformer Pilates class followed by dinner out, 2 nights of outdoor swimming with a friend and a night where I got home from work, had a long hot bath, ordered a Chinese takeaway and then an early night just me and the telly. Absolute bliss!!
So so jealous but you sound like you totally and utterly deserve every minute of the peace so whatever you do enjoy it and make the most of it and keep us updated of your plans!!
