I have a day off. My life is so busy - work, amdram, writing scripts, hillwalking and singing in a choir. I am an insomniac. Today, however, I am in my PJs, watching daytime TV.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Sounds like you've every right to sit in your PJs and watch TV! Why so guilty?

My guilty pleasure is eating pork scratchings.

Pineapplemilkshake · 22/05/2015 10:52

Mine is eating a baguette smothered in Nutella

ghostyslovesheep · 22/05/2015 10:53

Scandal and Bombay mix

Nabootique · 22/05/2015 10:53

I sense a lot of these will be food related...

Doing the same , daughter at nursery partners gone out and I am watching all my programmes on catch up. The only thing is I can't relax because my house is a mess. :( enjoy your day

Naboo - oh dear, I also like pork scratchings and I ate two bags last evening

Yeah, forget the guilty... just pure pleasure. Now watching Come Dine With Me. Just fabulous.

Mumsnet!

Don't worry OP enjoying sitting in your PJs and watching TV isn't a guilty pleasure, it's perfectly normal!

I like eating Nutella from the jar with a spoon. And karaoke.

Jilly Copper and Haribo moon the commute home

OatTeaTea · 22/05/2015 11:11

Agreed.

SevTSnape · 22/05/2015 11:14

Mumsnet for me too. I spend way too much time on here for someone who doesn't even want kids. Love my niblings to bits though

MonstrousRatbag · 22/05/2015 15:24

Watching brain surgery films on YouTube. Oddly soothing.

OnlyLovers · 22/05/2015 15:27

Watching Empire, even though sensible friends have pointed out to me that its depiction of women and sex is pretty vile.

I just like the clothes and the interiors. Blush

Other than that, I don't really do guilt. Life's too short. I am unguilty about loving pork scratchings and salt n pepper rolls from Morrisons, and eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ice-cream topping straight out of the bottle. To name but a few.

AwayAndRunUpMaHumf · 22/05/2015 15:33

Under my covers with a good book, cup of tea and a vanilla Danish.

fairnotfit · 22/05/2015 15:41

Ready-salted crisps dipped in sour cream & chive dip

fairnotfit · 22/05/2015 15:42

Oh, and Judge Rinder. He seems like such a nice man.

rubyroux · 22/05/2015 15:54

My guilty pleasure is having a green flavour pot noodle and large grab bag of walkers cheese and onion for lunch. Mmmm

SaucyJack · 22/05/2015 15:55

Picking my nose.

BettyCatKitten · 22/05/2015 17:31

Cream cakes and watching four in a bed and come dine with me in my pjsGrin

TheFairyCaravan · 22/05/2015 17:38

Watching Dance Moms and Say Yes to the Dress.

They are both utter crap but I love them.

pollypocket123 · 22/05/2015 17:46

McD's double cheese burger with mozzarella dippers, large pack of crisps to myself with wine, TOWIE, trashy books on my kindle, Hotel Inspector...loadsa stuff!

GloGirl · 22/05/2015 17:55

Come Dine With Me and Judge Judy. TV at it's best!

Gatehouse77 · 22/05/2015 18:00

Watching Neighbours.
