Nothing beats the feeling of...

A well stocked fridge...

A full tank of petrol in a freshly cleaned car...

Fully stocked bathroom with toiletries, new bars of soap, plenty of loo roll, new tube of toothpaste...

A full wood store and full basket of wood by the fire...

Ugh. I love the feeling. I think I have a bit of prepper in me. I love the actual act of stocking it all up and then looking at it like a caveman who's brought home a leg of mammoth for the family.

Leaving the dentist.

With your bank balance hugely depleted!

TheOpalReader · 18/01/2025 20:19

Clean bedding, freshly shaved legs and doing the cricket leg rubbing together.

The first day of feeling better after a cold, being able to breathe out of your nose and get a full night's sleep.

A cough fart combo, gross but getting rid of a tickle and trapped wind at the same time, bliss.

Being terribly sleep deprived for a long time and finally catching up on your sleep. This happened last night...had 12 hours in 2 blocks of 6....I felt amazing this morning!! 😭

Waking up early in a panic, realising you still have two hours until your alarm, stretching back out to sleep

Darkdiamond · 18/01/2025 20:21

When your toddler starts sleeping through the night. Bed times take on a new level of amazingness!

Getting into freshly made bed, having just had a shower, with clean PJs on.

Dont you normally remove the PJs BEFORE the shower?😁

Sliding into bed with the electric blanket on.

When you reeeallllly don’t want to go out and the other person texts to cancel.

Flopsy145 · 18/01/2025 20:30

Standing in the woods in silence, no car noise, no people, just a bit of quiet time.

This is similar to one of the worst feelings, your child waking up 2 hours before your alarm and not going back to sleep, or letting you go back to sleep 😭

Turning the overhead lights off and putting the fairy lights on.

Feeling virtuous when coming home to a slow cooker stew, and the lovely smell.

Getting on to start a train journey, settling down in booked seats with a train picnic... on an uncrowded train.

ChubbyBubbyBoo · 18/01/2025 20:44

Getting home after a day of being miserable outside or a long journey.

I think this has to be the ultimate feeling of all doesn't it?

See, this is weird to me. Does everyone else gave much better orgasms I wonder? They are nice enough I suppose but in the scheme of satisfying things I much prefer looking at my clean and tidy house/ organised well stocked cupboards/ clean pj’s and bedsheets and best of all curling up with my cat listening to her tiny snores.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 18/01/2025 20:49

When you're at the cinema about to watch a film you've been dying to see. That feeling of settling down and checking out of the real world for a couple of hours.

I'll raise you getting into a freezing cold bed when you are boiling hot.

DH likes the woodburner on, my face is the colour of a tomato and I've just got into an ice cold bed on my own to sleep after a super busy work week. I'm very pleased about this!

(and spare cold pillow on the floor next to me so I can swap pillows in the night when I get too hot in bed!)

Putting your out of office on!

spacepies · 18/01/2025 20:54

Waking up every day knowing i have no responsibility for anyone other than myself.
Spotless home.
No better feeling than doing what the fuck i want without having to care or compromise.
Total bliss.

Ihateboris · 18/01/2025 20:54

Finally being able to "go", when you've been constipated for days!

WhatMe123 · 18/01/2025 20:59

Bed linen that's dried on the washing line 👌🏻

HereBeWormholes · 18/01/2025 21:19

Driving home from visiting my family... all the unspoken tension and ancient feuds and sly digs fading away, shoulders relaxing... 😁

bigkahunaburger · 18/01/2025 21:39

Being filthy - as in muddy from being outdoors or sandy and salty from day at the beach, and getting into a warm bath to wash it all away, along with shaving legs and pits and bits. Following by drying in a warm, clean house, with a soft warm towel. And getting into brand new pjs, and brand new bed linen.

Bliss.

Even better if its torrential rain outside, you are toasty in bed with a hot choccie and a really good movie on.

New tights / socks

That pillow thing might be the life hack of the century

A nostalgic one for me and something I was talking about the other day, nothing will ever beat queuing up for the midnight releases of the new Harry Potter books and reading them for the very first time. I wish I could go back and experience that excitement again!
