The original Darling Buds of May, and All Creatures Great and Small. Watched in bed with a huge bowl of fresh tagliatelle smothered in M&S Cornish salted butter and Parmesan.

Its about once a year the planets align to allow this to happen :)

I love Sundays when DH goes out for 18 holes of golf! I've been watching all sorts of shit on Netflix/Prime without anyone commentating or asking what happened where.

Trashy reality tv like Ex on the beach or Married at first sight. Usually with a mahoosive glass of white wine in my hand.

I love to lay on the couch and binge watch Bravo. Real housewives, below deck, summer house etc. I love them all. Lots of salty snacks. Ramen, beef jerky chips _ salsa.

WhatIsAScottishEgg · 04/08/2025 19:25

Pitch Perfect. Every time. With sausage and spaghetti on toast. Then a bag of pick n mix.

kimbear87 · 04/08/2025 19:26

It’s not a film but listening to 2010-2015 Justin bieber songs.

Whattodo121 · 04/08/2025 19:31

Below deck and Nutella on toast, book of wordsearches or similar and the dog on my bed. DH brings a cup of tea - perfect!

Vitrolinsanity · 04/08/2025 19:42

Letting my dog sleep on my bed. I love waking in the night and dozily hear him dream in his sleep.

BadActingParsley · 04/08/2025 19:44

Scandal with Olivia pope and spaghetti carbonara in an indecent quantity.

Me and my friend always have potato smiley faces and quorn dippers when we get together… reminds us of the day after a big night out when we lived together in our 20’s, many moons ago !

PrincessHoneysuckle · 04/08/2025 21:34

Omg I love watching documentaries or famous bios such as how George Michael really died or Princess Diana conspiracy stories with a large glass of Aperol, honey covered nuts or sweet & salty popcorn! What is wrong with me? Ha ha 🤣🤣

PoorUncleBarry · 04/08/2025 21:42

A bag of Iced Gems, rewatching Z Nation on the laptop and assembling one of those ridiculous Mini Brand homeware toys (£7.99 in most toy shops). Very peaceful.

Laiste · 04/08/2025 21:43

You tube scary camping incident videos (weirdly specific i know) and an ice cream tub to myself 😍

TaborlinTheGreat · 04/08/2025 21:46

Re-watching films or episodes of things I've watched a gazillion times before when dh is out or away. For example Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Firefly, Buffy. I don't have any guilty pleasure foods I indulge myself with when dh isn't there. I'm likely to eat less healthily when he's there than I would on my own! I don't fancy drinking on my own either.

SchoolMum22 · 04/08/2025 21:50

Also love The Power series on Netflix I think! Oh if women ruled the world!! 😜

TheAutumnCrow · 04/08/2025 21:56

Those YouTube videos with Deputy Frank Sloup who stops and deals with crappy speeding drivers in Pinal County, Arizona, and a bucket of Chardonnay with corn on the cob on the side.

MadisonMarieParksValetta · 04/08/2025 22:07

When I have a rare night to myself I watch Vanderpump Rules and eat the cheesy pasta that's in the red box. It's absolute filth but oh so good.

DiscoBob · 04/08/2025 22:34

McDonald's spicy nuggets. Please don't take them away after a month!!

thecatsneedfeeding · 04/08/2025 22:37

Burger king vegan chicken royal burgers. I'm not a vegan but there's something about these that just hits the spot every time. I travel through a train station a few times a year with a bk. You bet I'm having one no matter what time of day it is.

murasaki · 04/08/2025 22:37

Reese's peanut butter bar cold from the fridge. I don't like peanut butter, or milk chocolate, but this just works in a weird alchemy. Has to be very cold though.

TheChosenTwo · 04/08/2025 22:41

Sleeping on the sofa with my electric blanket!
Every now and then I go downstairs to do this, watch something crap on telly (death in paradise or some kind of murder documentary) and in the morning dh will come and find me and apologise for snoring so loudly that I had to sleep elsewhere 😳 I do normally tell him that I just couldn’t sleep but secretly I just fancied staying up super late and don’t want to disturb him with the telly in the bedroom!!
We do have a spare bedroom but there’s something very alluring about the comfy sofa with my heated blanket 😂

@MadisonMarieParksValetta I love Vanderpump. Have you been watching the valley?. New generation Vanderpump coming soon. I'll give it a go
