Quiet here, I've had dinner and now have tea and cake. Can't see anything watchable on Netflix, suggestions?

Anyone else having a very quiet night?

Lying in bed now that DC asleep. Cat by my side and I'm scrolling away. I'd love a cuppa but too lazy to move.

Another Too if the Pops watcher here, I watch every week, love to see the fashion and hair and everyone's lithe and young, sigh.
I did clean the cooker earlier trying to distract me from wine as I'm doing dry Jan. Other family members are in different rooms watching their devices.

We really were completely different shapes in the 70’s, my size 12 jeans from Chelsea Girl were 24” waist. The “ boys” were so skinny.
We were going to get up and dance to Save all your kisses for me but we’re too tired…..

@henlake7 same here, I look through and check reviews for ages.

@Driftingawaynow that's a nice way of thinking about difficult times, might become my new motto.

@strange25 I don't think I've seen his&hers, will recheck.

Anyway as @dontforgetme says, happy Friday.

Sometimes boring is good, especially when there are howling winds outside 🙂

After a fair amount of taxi-ing kids around, they are now in bed, we’ve eaten an Indian takeaway and are chilling on the sofa watching Shakespeare in love.

Bored fucking shitless as usual. Staring at my phone and doing jack shit, just like every other night.

TheClocksFast · 23/01/2026 22:05

I’ve just watched ‘Last Night in Soho’. I enjoyed it but it’s a bit of a hard watch (Matt Smith and Rita Tushingham are in it).

I'm lying on the sofa, under a duvet, wondering if I've got a tummy bug!
Went all weak kneed, flushed and nauseated earlier, so wait and see.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog @mondaytosunday , I get what you're saying about the quiet, we said our goodbyes to our dear ginger cat one month ago today. The house is extra quiet with DC's both out tonight.

@mondaytosunday

Sorry about your dog.

Thesofathatwas · 23/01/2026 22:19

Absolutely shattered after this week.
SO
M&Ms, Diet Coke and the traitors!
Best Friday night ever.

MrsMouse03 · 23/01/2026 22:22

We (me,Dh andDS) went to the pub for a couple then chippy tea and watched a couple of episodes of House of Guinness. Tired now so bedtime soon.

christmassytimeagain · 23/01/2026 22:27

We had a lovely roast chicken and a few glasses of wine whilst watching our favourite comedian. DP has gone to bed as he’s playing golf at 8am and I am watching the news before I go up

troppibambini6 · 23/01/2026 22:30

Made a roast dinner, watched traitors final with the kids and my mum came over. I’ve come up to bed as early start for football tomorrow. Dh is sleeping in the spare room as I’m desperate for a decent nights sleep. Ds has just come creeping in saying he can’t sleep but I’ve told him in no uncertain terms I need my bed to myself tonight.

blackheartsgirl · 23/01/2026 22:31

Got in from work at half six, cooked stir fry for dd3 and I, then got my pjs on and got into bed, where I’ve been since half 7 😆. Just watched traitors finale and will now probably watch You tube till I feel sleepy,

this is always my fri and sat night and will be until the weather warms up and the lighter nights come. I don’t lead a very exciting life in the winter

Golololo · 23/01/2026 22:32

I met my son and partner in Covent Garden for an early Italian to celebrate their Birthdays . Home by 10pm and in bed with my doggie. A really lovely Friday evening.

DinoLil · 23/01/2026 22:38

I'm waiting for 1am to watch Skyscraper.

rainbowsparkle28 · 23/01/2026 22:40

Absolutely not - was avidly watching The Traitors final! 🤭🏰

Tangerinesattack · 24/01/2026 10:02

@ThatWasMyLastFatFreeFrush My second favourite one with David Suchet. My favourite is the Peter Ustinov one - might watch that tonight!

The David Suchet one is beautiful. Frances de la Tour steals it!
