For me, it’s going into my bed with freshly washed bedsheets after I have a shower. Bliss.

This! But with the knowledge that there is no alarm set the next morning Smile

An uninterrupted hot bath with candles and music followed by a daytime nap. I’m lucky if I get this a couple of times a year but I love it when I do.

MaryAndHerNet · 25/02/2022 21:03

Spritzing something nice smelling on my scarf. I can smell it all day that.

A clean house, that I haven't had to clean! DH has been isolating this week and has spent it spring cleaning the house top to bottom. It's lovely!

AmbushedByCake · 25/02/2022 21:05

I was able to line dry my sheets today. They smell amazing.

Being freshly showered and cosy and

Seeing my 14 week old baby beam a big smile at me for no reason

Brand new bed covers, straight out the pack and onto the bed 🥰
When I wake up and my partners got up early and tidied the house… rare but always makes my day!

DearlyBeloathed · 25/02/2022 21:05

A cold can of coke.

A hot bath with bubbles.

Walking into my bedroom in the evening after showering with candles lit, incense burning, lamps set to low, and then jumping into bed. Bliss.

mumofEandE · 25/02/2022 21:06

I like drinking out of a straw

MrsSugar · 25/02/2022 21:06

Aw man ! That sounds amazing ! My DH would ever think to clean the house even while moaning about being bored !

FizzyBizz · 25/02/2022 21:08

A bath and early night.

My DH bringing me a cup of tea in bed (every morning).

Driving home from work blasting my favourite music and singing along.

VerbenaGirl · 25/02/2022 21:09

Cleaning out the tumble dryer fluff collector. My new dryer has two!

What I'm doing right now. My dc are at their dads and I have the entire evening to do what I want with. I have a bottle of red, a plate of cheese, and bags of crisps. I have my phone, and my comfy pjs on. Im pissed and in heaven.

Darbs76 · 25/02/2022 21:09

No late night pick ups of my son from Arsenal or 5 a side! Knowing I can put my PJ’s on at 6 and stay upstairs

JellybabyGina87 · 25/02/2022 21:13

I love a fresh bed too. Very rarely I might get a few hours to myself and I'd like to say I read a book or something but honestly I use my vibrator a couple of times and then have a nap. Love it.

Namechangedforspooky · 25/02/2022 21:13

Not sure if it’s classed as a simple pleasure but going swimming and finding the pool unexpectedly empty. So relaxing!

HuntingoftheSnark · 25/02/2022 21:15

Serous bubble bath.

Spud1130 · 25/02/2022 21:18

When my snoring husband announces he's sleeping on the sofa, with the monitor for the child who still wakes in the night and gets up at 5am

HariboMaroon · 25/02/2022 21:19

My morning brew.

ThunderSnowDrop · 25/02/2022 21:20

A cup of tea with milk.
When there's no milk the world is awry.

Clean sheets are lovely though.

Neurodiversitydoctor · 25/02/2022 21:22

My bean to cup machine's coffee

MagicMatilda · 25/02/2022 21:23

Hot coffee and sitting down to do my nails

Getting up early and walking the dogs before anyone else is around. I love the peace. Sets me up for the day.
