I am baffled. What's Milo? Never heard of it. Always have supper here, more out of habit than hunger. Tea is 6pm. Usually have tea and toast (with vegemite)

Dinner is at 7 pm. No more food after that but I may have a martini!

I have a glass of milk before 9 pm with sometimes a chocolate biscuit or similar...that's it.

We eat around 7pm.. That's it, just water after. I would never think about anything else, even if we eat earlier.

Or banana and marmite?....

We always had cheese and biscuits at about 9 pm years ago and slept well, better than we do now without any cheese in fact.

We have our main meal at lunch time and a light meal around 6.00pm. I am not a snacker and rarely eat between meals, if I do, it will be a slice of cheese or fruit. DH usually snacks on yoghourt or cheese. It is a myth that eating cheese near bedtime gives you nightmares, just an old wives tale.

I usually have a hot drink just before bed, usually a hot cordial or lemon tea, I have mild lactic intolerance and a milky drink would probably, no, would definitely, make me throw up.

Just decaffeinated tea at bedtime for me. Nothing for Mr C after our evening meal. I’m not a good sleeper, if still awake after 1am I often head for a slice of bread and butter and yet another cup of tea.

I’m just having 2 teas and 2 caramel wafers while watching a Midsomer Murder.

Oreo

Just off now to make marmite toast😍

I did that about the same time. Love it.

Allira Tue 16-Sept-25 22:29:18

Well, nothing usually but now I want a Milo and a couple of biscuits.

Haven't got any Milo though.

Bedtime tea for me!

Just ate a buttered crumpet and glass of cold milk.

I have nothing after dinner at 7 pm and rarely breakfast only coffee..
DH will sometimes have cheese or a biscuit at about 9 pm.

Just a drink around 9ish for me. DH will usually have a piece of cake of a couple of biscuits.

Just off now to make marmite toast😍

With our jobs, we eat breakfast early, lunch just a sandwich and main meal around 6 pm.
No dessert and not a huge meal, so from 9.30 to 10.30 the cupboard and fridge calls.🤭

Jaxjacky Tue 16-Sept-25 21:38:03

Nothing, we have dinner, just a main course, between 7 and 8, maybe with a drink, that’s it.

Around this time of night, if at home, I fancy a little something, I usually go for a mug of Milo and a biscuit.Now and then a bowl of rice crispies, but DP often has cheese on toast which I tell him will give him nightmares, not that it does.
If I have home made cake in then I have a slice of that, but don’t like shop cakes.
I get bored with the same things, what do you go for?
