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!

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!
