Netflix would like to know how you’ll be spending your time now that the kids are back at school. Maybe you’ll be finishing that blog post you started writing two months ago. Or perhaps you’ll be finally making use of your neglected gym membership. Or you might want treat yourself to a precious moment relaxing with your feet up, a cup of tea and your favourite Netflix show.

Netflix is available anywhere where there’s a Wi-Fi connection, and can be watched on numerous devices, including mobiles, tablets, smart TVs and games consoles. With a huge selection of quality films and award-winning TV shows, including access to Netflix’s exclusive original programmes, there’s always something new to discover.

You can see how other mums are using Netflix by visiting the Netflix Bloggers page here.

So, how will you be using Netflix now that you have a bit more time to yourself? Do you work part-time and savour your afternoons relaxing after a hectic morning by indulging in an episode of Suits? Are you grabbing an hour to yourself catching up on Orange is the New Black on your iPad while luxuriating in the bathtub? Once the kids are safely tucked up in bed, are you and your DH enjoying binge-watching the final season of The Killing on your smart TV? Whatever it is, Netflix would love to hear about it!

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £250 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

Netflix I love it. V buzy during the day with working, exercising, cooking and being a great mum but come 8pm Netflix comes on and me and my husband kick back with a vine or 2 ;) and watch movies, TV series and if kids are still up Netflix KIDS - thxs Netflix

[acluessmother]

Cosying up with my partner and enjoying watching films and original Netflix series such as Orange is the New Black. Enjoying the peace and quiet before our first baby is born in Jan.

I will use it on a sunday morning to find a film for the little ones to watch whilst I wade thro' the ironing pile!

[kslatts]

We will be using Netflix to spend time as a family, now dd's are 15 and 12 a film is the perfect way to get us all together.

I've just finished Breaking Bad on Netflix. Baby 2 is due any day so husband and I will be watching House of Cards, and I'll be finishing season 2 of Lillehammer once he's back at work!

I also intend to make more use of the kids section, especially looking for Xmas movies and anything that might keep my toddler entertained while I'm breastfeeding:)

[truckingirl]

Some great thrillers,for me n him! & some great stuff to keep the kids amused ??

[eteo]

my husband subscribe it and now my kids could watch it on their ipad while we watch our own show! It is great that they allow two account to sign in and play different show at the same time!

[ChantelD93]

I'll be using Netflix to catch on series I've fallen behind on or in some cases haven't even had the chance to start!
I also like to watch some oldies on their, can't beat an old chick flick!

[Xavielli]

I will be sticking Netflix on the computer to catch up with whitechapel and the killing, whilst plowing through my ironing pile!

[zippyants]

I just love watching epic movies! Nothing better than a wet and windy Sunday morning, with a hot cup of tea or coffee and slumping on the sofa to Cleopatra or a black and white movie :)

[mumofthreegirls80]

Am currently on maternity leave! Netflix is my saviour! Love all the movies and box sets ?? no longer board at home!! Yay!!! Thank you Netflix ????

[FannyBlott]

I will probably use it to watch series that I missed when they were on TV and on a cold and wet Sunday afternoon it's nice to put a family film on and snuggle up on the sofa.

[ManyHatsOn]

We use Netflix regularly as since moving house we can't afford to go out until about 2021... We watch boxsets during the week and movies at the weekend. The kids use it regularly too to watch series and movies. I think they've forgotten that normal telly exists.

[kissmyheathenass]

Sponge Bob Square Pants, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Sponge Bob Square Pants repeat ad infinitum. Dcs don't watch anything else at the moment there are so many other choices.

For me, its Prison Break - currently near end of season 2. and there are 2 more seasons to enjoy. Love Netflix. We don't have a tv licence any more as Netflix provides more than enough .

[Eastpoint]

I enjoy catching up on series I've missed on Netflix - I'm not sure what I'll start with, I've seen all the episodes of Modern Family they have but I do like what I've seen of Arrested Development (as does my 16 year old). Actually one of the things I like best about Netflix is that we can all watch different things on the same subscription & I can limit what my younger children can watch so they can't watch things I consider age inappropriate.

[Morrigu]

I love Netflix and rarely watch the actually tv anymore. Tried the free trial of Amazon Prime and didn't like it half as much.

Favourites have to be Orange is the New Black, Nurse Jackie and have just finished watching all six series of The L Word. Love the movies especially British comedies and thrillers.

Very handy for me as I use it every night with my headphones in on the tablet as co-sleeping dd won't settle unless I'm beside her.

[Pinkandpurplehairedlady]

I'm another one who will catching up with Orange is the New Black:))

[MichelleMumsnet]

Thank you, everyone, for your comments. Congratulations to cluckyhen who has won the prize draw for a £250 Love2Shop voucher! We'll be in touch shortly.

[RichTeaAreCrap]

I am going to use it to watch some box sets. I have a full weekend alone at home coming up. I can't wait! There is never anything decent on the tv to watch so this will be heaven.

[RichTeaAreCrap]

I have a whole weekend alone at home coming up. I can't wait to start watching some box sets, Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black etc. there is never anything on tv to watch so I am looking forward to this, it will be heaven!

[amandaa5449]

Now my little one has gone back to school, I'm finding myself snuggling down on the sofa or even in bed with a cup of tea and watching things like Breaking Bad which isn't suitable to watch with him about!

[IWasThere4Aug12]

I work from home 3 days/wk and sneak in some viewing during my lunch break

[1122christy]

I love going to the cinema but having 3 kids means that's not always possible. So having Netflix is the next best thing, sometimes better as I can't wear my pjs to the cinema!
Me and my husband get to watch great shows together like american horror story (best watched hiding under a blanket), breaking bad and orange is the new black. The kids enjoy it too, we have a family film night on a Friday rotating each week whose turn it is to pick, Netflix gives us great options that we can all enjoy. From new films to classics!
