How’s your Friday night looking?

I’ve just had an early dinner of a takeaway halloumi wrap and chips. No plans tonight so contemplating finding something to watch on Netflix or reading some of my book.

What are you up to?

Just finished work, absolutely knackered but i need to shower & get into clean clothes. Dinner and then a bit of telly and an early night.

No idea why my reply been hidden 😮 mentioned packing for a house move!

CapitanSandy · 19/09/2025 18:55

Just sat down for a bit of a chill, listening to radio4 comedy and about to put oven on to cook the x4 home made friday pizza, washing school shirts, and sorting out football kit for the morning, had a lovely lunchtime with just H, in the quite warm sunshine, might be the last day to do this so summery, went for a couple of ciders. Teens seem content this evening, they might be persuaded to watch a film with us in a bit.

It's a good Friday this one.

Nice and chilled here - it’s pouring down rain and I’ve just had dinner. Now watching re-runs of The Real Housewives under a blanket with a cat purring on my lap 🥰

devildeepbluesea · 19/09/2025 19:00

Just finished tea and a large slice of cake (which is a highly unusual occurrence, I don’t really do cake). Will walk the dogs round the block shortly then go to bed to listen to the radio for an hour or so. If anyone’s interested I highly recommend High Cockalorum on Radio 4, it’s a short play and is lovely 👍

RaraRachael · 19/09/2025 19:02

OH away for the weekend so just me and the cat lazing on the couch watching all the stuff I've recorded over the past months.

Getamoveon2024 · 19/09/2025 19:03

Absolutely lovely 🥰 it’s still warm, so sat in the garden with a glass of fizz. DH has the curry on which we shall eat, then catch up with Bake Off. Boring, but I’m happy, particularly since this has been a shit week (I swear to god, I’m never moving house, ever, ever again!).

AgnesMcDoo · 19/09/2025 19:04

Just had a steak dinner with DH and then am heading out to the cinema with my mum.

Thoughtsandprayers · 19/09/2025 19:05

We arrived in Menorca earlier today,
went out for an early dinner and now sitting outside with a glass of wine so it’s not too shabby!

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 19/09/2025 19:05

Dh has played golf this afternoon, not expecting him back for dinner.
I’m having a lamb Jamaican patty and a glass of wine.

Tana433 · 19/09/2025 19:05

In Liverpool waiting for Deacon Blue and then off to Manchester tomorrow night for Lewis Capaldi. Not a bad weekend as weekends go!!

blankcanvas3 · 19/09/2025 19:06

Just poured a gin and tonic and making some pasta sauce. Got the women’s rugby world cup on, and DS’s girlfriend is over so hoping my pasta sauce is edible!

BlueEyedBogWitch · 19/09/2025 19:08

Quiet. I shampooed our sofas today and they’re still wet, and that’s the room with the telly in.

So we’re sitting in the reading room, next to a massive wall of books…reading our phones 🙈

Crunchymum · 19/09/2025 19:08

Made the most of the lovely afternoon by taking younger two to the park after school and then to the posh ice-cream parlour (I had a voucher - it's £8 a scoop 😮)

So of course nobody wanted dinner until later. We've just had some falafel with pitta and hummus and salad.

Kids all chilling so I'm going to tackle the washing up, pack the swim gear for tomorrow and hang the uniform out when the washing machine finishes.

Older two and I will watch a few episodes of Brooklyn 99 when the little one goes to bed then it's an early-ish night all round.

Natsku · 19/09/2025 19:09

I'm in a hotel in Helsinki, I've just been out for dinner and now I'm waiting for OH to come out of the shower so I can have a bath - first bath I've had in years so I'm looking forward to it. Then I'm going to sleep, I'm tired and I need my energy for tomorrow as I'm going to a Robbie Williams concert!

TitanicWasAGreatMovie · 19/09/2025 19:10

Happy to be on my sofa after a busy week at work.
Just had a nice dinner, enjoying a glass of white and then watching the women's rugby later.
Thinking about the weekend ahead.

Greenwriter76 · 19/09/2025 19:10

DH is working and I’m currently eating Pringles and watching the original Mary Poppins with my dd, having just been out for a walk in this lovely late September sun. Once dd is in bed I’m planning on a nice relaxing bath.

Canopop · 19/09/2025 19:11

Toddler asleep baby in my belly is going crazy 🤪 so I’m now trying to chill and eat some toast 😁

Crushed23 · 19/09/2025 19:15

I’m going to a barbecue at a partner’s house. A work social on a Friday night is scandalous. I don’t want to go but feel as though I have to.

Luckily I’ve got a really fun weekend planned and Monday off as annual leave which will make up for the loss of my Friday night!

CapitanSandy · 19/09/2025 18:55

Nice! Are you watching anything good @Dippythedino I spend half my time on Netflix looking what to watch.

I just finished Harlen Coben's Shelter on Amazon last night, it's a bit hard going in places Lock and Key was good on Netflix and dd is a big murder mystery fan so we're always on the hunt for things to watch.

Cleanthatup · 19/09/2025 19:16

Oh great thread

I had quite a horrible day at work as a colleague spoke to me like dirt. So I went and got myself a nice bottle of wine which was way more than I would normally spend. Bought some steaks and desserts.

DH is cooking and I am in the sofa with the cat watching the Batchelor until dinner is ready. De-stressing!

FettleOfKish · 19/09/2025 19:17

Was also packing for a house move but since 4pm it’s on the verge of falling through so instead I’m intermittently crying and frantically scrolling for a distraction. Considering self-medicating with wine but I have the dentist first thing tomorrow so that doesn’t seem sensible 😞
