YY. Also have a baby so appreciate these. I'd love a bath that was either long and relaxing or just had more than 30cm of water in and not shared with a child Grin

Snuggling under a fleece blanket with fluffy loungewear with a tray of snacks and watching a good crime documentary.

Getting into bed with clean sheets and having a nap
Finding a tenner in your coat pocket
Going for a really nice run in the cold and then getting into a scorching hot shower and then climbing into bed

Walking in the woods with my dog I was going to say this!

Also - hard drugs

I'm not really a sex fan though.

Going on holiday in the sun when you haven't been allowed anywhere for as long as you can remember.

Italian lemon ice cream on a hot summer day
A cup of tea and a slice of toast with real butter in the morning
A massage for my painful and stiff shoulders after a hard day

Having a wee when you really really need it and have been holding for ages. Ditto poo.
Blowing your nose having been without hanky for ages and have that itchy sniffy thing going on.

Iced coffee with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and chopped hazelnuts
