Lighthearted…as I’ll be failing at life tomorrow 😂😂
Got home from work at 16:44(I finish at 16:30), made a lovely vegetable soup with crusty bread for dinner, we were sitting down to eat at about 5:20. Dinner done and kitchen tidied by 5:45. (We eat too fast…I know!) I then ran a bath and chilled in the bath, I’m out and dried and sitting on the couch 🙌 bloody delighted! Now I’m going to have a cup of tea and a slice of peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake I made yesterday and watch TV.

Ooh lovely well done op! I too feel I’m winning today- I got home at 5.45 having collected my meds from the pharmacy I’ve been meaning to pick up for several days but left work too late to make it, lit the log burner , fed the dogs, made a complicated dinner I don’t usually have the time for, having a little sit down in the cosy warmed by the fire sitting room while it finishes cooking!

I can’t imagine eating dinner at 5.20 it’s the middle of the afternoon and i would be climbing the walls by 8pm

Yes, that sounds like you are winning today. I don't expect to sit down for another hour so I'm envious!

A cosy fire sounds lovely 🙌

Hardly the middle of the afternoon! Plenty of people eat dinner at this time.

If I ate that early I’d be looking for a second supper at 10pm! Or probably end up eating half your yummy sounding cheesecake.

The aim is to be asleep at 9:30 so I don’t get hungry 🤣 but I will admit sometimes when I have nights I can’t sleep I will have a snack
