to ask what you long to do tonight...

[cjt110]

...when you get home vs what you will be doing?

I want to go, have complete silence and be on my own. Maybe a soak in the bath and some wine then take myself off to bed and sleep in the middle.

What I'll actually do is head home, go to the gym for about half an hour, get in, make tea for the child and manchild, usher child to bed then sponge on the sofa watching crap telly.

[WinterRose92]

I want to have a soak for two hours, do a face mask, wash my hair and properly dry it all nice. Go to bed at a good time and have a full nights sleep.
What I'll actually do is sort out tea for my son and me, play for a bit then do the bath and bed routine, settle him off then tidy up, do dishes, have a quick bath, probably won't dry my hair all nice then sort out my uniform stuff for work tomorrow, watch rubbish on telly then go to bed for night of broken sleep because my poor son is teething non stop at the moment!

[Northernmum100]

Arrive home after stress free journey, crack open a bottle of wine which is by some miracle calorie free, watch episodes of Real Housewives of... (any of them), eat tapas style food which is delivered to my door. Followed by bath and bed to myself so I can make like a starfish all night.

The reality will be no where near.

[MinisterforCheekyFuckery]

I am pregnant and dealing with Hyperemesis so I want to lie in bed, sucking a fruity ice lolly (the only thing I can stomach the thought of at the moment), and watching mindless crap on TV.

Unfortunately DH is working late so will be sorting DD's tea out (gagging at the smell and sight of food), doing bath and bedtime routine before I can relax. Also we have no fruity ice lollies and I can't move far enough away from a bathroom to get to the shop.

[MyMarmitePurrs]

I would like to go home, put my pyjamas on the minute I walk through the door, pour my self a bacardi and coke then go and sit on the sofa and watch my soaps without some idiot chuntering about what a load of crap I watch, then go to bed.
Instead - I'm going home, cooking DD's dinner then driving her to work, coming home to wash last nights dishes (my fault I know!!) Then sorting tea for me an DP who will waffle shite for about an hour cos he can't stand silence, then sit and try and watch soaps whilst he chunters. Then once DD gets home at 10.15 put her uniform in the wash and eventually go to bed to lie next to a snoring walrus !!!

[halfwitpicker]

I want to meet up with my ex-crush in a dark bar and have lots of wine and some sort of delicate, tapas-y style plate to share. Then I want him to invite me back to his place for some hot sex, several times over.

[Beetlebum1981]

I'd love to knock back several glasses of wine, have a leisurely bath and a full nights sleep.
In reality DH and I will be negotiating bath/bed time with DD1 (2) who is doing an excellent job of making it last as long as possible at the moment. In between it all DD 2 (2 weeks) will no doubt need feeding and I'll be woken by her at least every two hours through the night 😴

[Want2beme]

I long to pack a bag and fly back to the lovely warm country I used to live in. Alas, this cannot happen, so I'll make do with a bowl of soup, some chocolate and seriously CRAP TV - my satellite dish has collapsed and I'm reduced to watching 5 channels of utter shite.

[TheHodgeoftheHedge]

I simply cannot wait to take off my bloody bra. The feeling of relief will be incredible.

[PrimeraVez]

Order pizza, get pissed, have sex on the living room floor, stay up late laughing with DH and watching crap TV.

In reality, I’m 28 weeks pregnant, have got a toddler upstairs who won’t settle and have to be up early tomorrow so will be in bed by 10.

[phoenix1973]

I want a good night's sleep. But i have to go food shopping. I've got tomorrow off though.

[NorthEndGal]

I wish I was going to snug up with the mister on the couch, and have him brush and braid my hair.
In reality I will be on the couch alone, binging on Netflix , and hoping for an email or text from him. He's somewhere in the Baltics, and I'm in Canada, so no cuddle for a while

[BikeRunSki]

Sleep

Not cooking, feeding cat, bathing children, being woken up by children, being woken up by cat, being woken up by dh’s Snoring, being woken up by churning mind. Just sleep.

[mimibunz]

Dream.....a warm, long evening dining al fresco whilst a Spanish guitar plays in the background.....wine, more wine......

Reality......cottage pie, tidy the kitchen, start some laundry and watch the most depressing weather report in ages.

[gggrrrargh]

I really want to sit in front of the telly and watch an episode of ER followed by an episode of Medium on channel CBS Drama later tonight.

..and that's exactly what I am gonna do

[SkaPunkPrincess]

I want to go out for a meal with my husband just us, then to a hotel room for a nice shag and a long bath (no bath at home) then a full nights sleep and a long lay in then a hotel full English and a day out together but it has to be warm and sunny.

Instead I am home staring at the same four walls after work as always with the kids asleep upstairs and the husband on his computer and I am watching Masterchef and waiting for the tea to cook.

I think I am ready for a break......

[SkaPunkPrincess]

minister where do you live? il bring you some fruity lollies!

[Ollivander84]

Got home at 6, would like to sleep
Reality - going to second job

[stegosauruslady]

I want to have a couple of glasses of wine and some chocolate by myself while I write in my journal and then read my book. Then DP could turn up for a lovely shag before sleep.

Reality - kids home from school, kids through their homework and reading, made dinner, washed up, one kid out to an activity, then doing bedtimes.

After bedtimes there will be tea, biscuits and shagging.

[JaneEyre70]

I'm finishing DDs tea while DH is truffling on about every minute boring detail about his day. The house is a bombsite after having a fireplace knocked out .....

My dream would involve Tom Hardy in Christian Grey's playroom. Sigh.

[Teachtolive]

I want to have a takeaway, drink a bottle of wine and slip into a lovely relaxing deep sleep.

What I'll actually do is eat whatever is rustled up and go to bed to prepare for yet another night of breast feeding every 2 hours til dawn.

[50sQueen]

I want to snuggle up to my husband. Instead I will be getting in bed alone catching up on 36 hours sleep. The time he's spent being ventilated, sedated in intensive care .

[RoboticSealpup]

I want to have a few drinks in a nice bar, wear a sexy dress and flirt with my husband. But I'm going to bed at 9 with a toddler who still wants to sleep on top of me and DH is going to bed in the other room, which I haven't slept in since... Actually I've never slept in there!

And still I can't wait to have another baby...

[Helpmeltb]

I would like to have a long soak in the bath and an early night.

Reality: 2 kids already been in bed an hour cos they aren't well. I'm about to start working some overtime hours. Will be having a late night.

[callmekitten]

Dream: I want to have a nice warming soup served to me for my dinner. Then I want to sit in the big squishy chair with a package of cookies and watch my favorite movies and surf the 'net until bed time. Would also like to squeeze a pleasant conversation with DD in there somewhere.

Reality: I will make dinner - something which I haven't planned yet. DD will complain about whatever it is and will leave half of it on her plate. 10 minutes after I clean up the dishes, she will complain of being hungry but will refuse to make herself a sandwich. After that, I will take her to Tae Kwon Do class where I will sit and admire her killer moves for an hour and a half. We will then go back home and have a cup of tea and a snack and DD will go off to bed leaving me about 2 minutes to relax before I have to get to bed myself.

[mancmummy1414]

I would like to: get dressed up, go to a new restaurant in town with DH, drink wine and then go clubbing all night like we used to, then have the whole day in bed tomorrow shagging, only getting out of bed to answer to the takeaway delivery man.
What I’m actually doing: trying to get some food, any food down my child before getting him asleep, cleaning the house, and sitting in front of Eastenders eating a full bar of chocolate.
