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,

MNHQ

Back at work too but may use it to watch films I have never seen, if I get chance.

I'll be watching movies whilst on my lunch break from housework without worrying something inappropriate is about to pop up and be seen by the children.

My step daughter is typical teenager with her fingers glued to ipad, laptop etc. :) As you can see in picture she has Netflix on every possible device. :)

Have made my way through OITNB. I would sneak off into bed just after the kids were out the way, and watch at least 2 episodes back to back.

I have been meaning to watch Breaking Bad, and just quite not got there yet. Loads of must see tv that is just waiting for me to have time...

Netflix is great for sneaking in around other things - on your phone, on your tablet. Something you can do in bed when you have little kids (unlike that other thing that goes by the wayside!).

I just wish that there were more movies to watch. I would totally pay just a little more for a greater range of more current movies. Not brand spanking new, just new-ish.

I will be using Netflix in the evenings with my husband to watch films at the weekend and during the week my husband watches series like breaking bad. On a Sunday after a busy day out our son often watches a bit of a film like toy story 3.

We are looking into getting Netflix after being very disappointed with a free trial for Amazon Prime.
I'd love to watch some box sets. I've a long list of things I need to catch up with.

One episode of House of Cards every night before bed. No time for anything else!! The dcs like Penguins of Madagascar as a way of winding down before homework and tea...

Am slowly still ploughing through Hemlock Grove which is fab. There are a few sci fi series I might try also :o Netflix has a nice mix of US and UK TV. Now the kids are back have time to sit and watch something (even if it is for only half and hour!)

I only get the time to watch Netflix in the evenings. I like to go to bed early and watch stuff in bed. 'Breaking Bad' and 'House of Cards' were superb. Will be starting 'Modern Family' next.

The only time I get to myself is in the evening for maybe an hour and then I do catch up on tv on Sky+. I have just downloaded Netflix onto my ipad to see what is on offer, because I want to downgrade my sky package. If Netflix is cheap and streams ok, then I will give it a go.

I quite fancy watching Lost from the start again and finding some old tv series, but not sure what is available

I've only got Netflix recently. I haven't had a chance to explore what's on there so will be doing that.
DC have been watching on their Hudls or Xbox which is great.

Enjoyed both series of OITNB recently, and looking forward to watching the second series of House of Cards when we have time! I've also been re-watching Battlestar Galactica. DH & I both find the netflix interface a bit annoying, but to be fair we can't think of how we would improve it.

Netflix has kind of changed our TV habits in this house. Hardly watch bbc anymore as we get engrossed in box sets. At the moment it's breaking bad and homeland, I'm also working my way through all the old seasons of 24 :) looking forward to trying out more suggested on this page. I tend to have it on in the afternoon when I have a rest (chronically ill) and in the evening with dh. Dc also use it a lot, dd is loving robin hood right now.

I use netflix to watch things recommended to me, or to re watch my favourite series. I watch it when feeding my little one.

I have cancelled my Netflix after the holidays. The only programme the kids liked I can get on you tube and I thought the selection for grown ups was rubbish.

Having been subjected to numerous episodes if I-Carly (DS's choice ) I will be using Netflix to get into Breaking Bad as we somehow missed it the first time round.

Once dd is is in bed, DH and I like to get cosy on the couch and rip our breeches laughing at It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia.

There's 9 seasons as well so it'll keep me busy for a while!

Dd loves Yo Gabba Gabba when she gets home from school, could do with some new episodes of that as the songs are on repeat in my house!
