What's your typical Saturday night?

Last night I had a lazy chicken Korma (sauce from a jar) and my once a week treat Coke Zero can, I’ve been rewatching SAS Rogue Heroes on iPlayer had naughty slice of coffee and walnut cake with a cuppa, watched Casualty read my book for an hour and bed by 10.30. I really know how to live it up 🤣

I work in a supermarket on Saturday nights. I finish at 10pm. I usually grab a bit of shopping then home for something to eat and a glass of wine while watching a bit of TV .

A large group of our friends went out for a dinner and dance last evening. It’s an annual charity do. We always decline.

I’ve already heard that the dinner was dried up and tasteless, the music too loud and the Elvis impersonator , well! 😬.
Most of them have knee, hip or other impediments so can’t dance. Apart from being quite expensive.

We had a very nice takeaway , changed into pjs and onesie.dh went into the other room to watch footie and I dipped in and out of tv of my choice.

The thought of getting dressed up , out into the dark cold night, doesn’t appeal any more.

Fed the animals then me, read, watched iPlayer, checked Messenger and the weather forecast, took dog out to wee, had a bath, went to bed.
Just like every other evening.

I've had a busy week but we had tickets for the cinema so despite fancying an early night we had an early supper of home made burgers, salad and sweet potato fries and got ready to go out. As OH was driving I had a big glass of red wine. We went to see a Korean film with subtitles, "No other choice" I wish we'd chosen to stay at home and watch TV, I don't recommend it, it's long and as we were in the middle of the row we couldn't walk out either. Got home at 10.00p.m and went to bed with a hot water bottle and read the Saturday magazine for half an hour which I wish I'd been able to do at 09.00 p.m. Not the best Saturday night we've had!

We went out for a meal which we do every Saturday just the two of us or with friends. About every 6 weeks we get together with other friends and we take it in turns to host.

In my teenage years the friday night was just starting at 10pm...
friday night dance 10 till 2 am, saturday dancing 8 till 12midnight after we were married it was club nights friday saturday and sunday...now we're never out at the weekends unless on a special occasion, so now it's dinner followed by a glass or 3 of wine and watching telly, I haven't got the energy now to get dressed up to go out...how sad is that?

I don't think it's sad unless you feel the lack of a good night out.

I live a cosy Saturday night in. Xx

Watched the best game of rugby I’ve seen in a long time though, being Irish, not the right result! I’m so going to miss the Six Nations.
We rarely go out on a Saturday evening and that’s just fine!

So last night DH and I, and Poppy our mad cocker, were at our static caravan in St Osyth, I’d made a slowed cooked coconut chicken, with lots of vegs and rice and naan bread and two of our lovely neighbours came over, we all ate and drank far too much 🥂🍷🐘🐘

I do have to add, we were still in bed by 10:00pm!

I only go to bed before 10 if I’m ill. I’d be awake at 1am and that wouldn’t do.
Last night I was singing with my choir in a concert, so I was out from 11.45am till 10.30 pm. I was hungry so I had soup and toast and caught up with my emails etc. I went to bed about 11.45 and slept through till 6.45, so I was really pleased not to
wake up in the night.

This weekend we had our little 2 year grandson to stay all day and overnight so hectic but enjoyable. So by the time we had got him bathed and in bed it was some red wine and the rugby.We ate earlier as I did a simple roast dinner and we ate with him.Already had some roast potatoes and leeks in cheese sauce from the freezer. I was shattered and went to bed at 9.30 leaving DH to sort the dog out.We rarely go out on a Saturday now unless we are meeting friends.That suits me fine.In my PJs as soon as we've had dinner. And if there's nothing on TV or catch up I do crosswords and puzzles. Exciting times!

DH's health cirumstances mean that he sleeps a lot, and he usually goes to bed around 8.00pm. I then have the evening to myself, which I uite enjoy.

I am in the process of decorating the house, which I usually do a wall at a time. This time it was two half walls, one over each of 2 open firplaces in the study and living room, then I tidied and sorted in the study and chose the picture to go onthe wall over the fireplace. Then I sat at my computer and surfed, did odd bits of household business.

I usally go to bed at 10.00ish, but I was wide awake so I sat and read until 11.30 pm, and when I got upstairs I decided to do a minor rearrangement of the bedroom furniture. having moved house 6 months ago and being busy doing it up . These minor rearrangements occur about once a week. DH cannot help much, but I can still do uite a lot.

I have never been much of a party animal, even in my youth, Not a hairwash and bed person either. I just prefer people in small numbers and for some reason friday night always played a bigger part in my life than Saturday night.

I’d say lovely relaxing times!

I think most of us probably had enough excitement in earlier lives.

I’m more than happy in PJs and being in bed early!

TheSunRisesInTheEast and Granatlast007 thank you both very much for your congratulations.
And of course congratulations to you too Granatlast007 🥂- do you have a DGD or DGS?
We have a beautiful little granddaughter.

I'm so glad I started this thread, thanks to everyone for commenting, it was lovely hearing what everyone gets up to and if they were happy with their evening.
It sounds like a lot of us could still 'Party' if we HAD to but are quite happy doing our own thing.
It's great not having to think what to wear to go out, making sure hair and nails etc all ok.
So many different stories, different lives and yet at heart we all enjoy just doing what makes us comfy and happy !

Most Saturday nights after dinner here will see dh up in his lair aka study, while I’ll be downstairs on the sofa knitting, probably with Classic FM on, since there’s so often nothing I want to watch on TV - can’t follow a plot AND knit anything that isn’t very simple. Also R3 if the ads on Classic are irritating me more than usual, but may have to switch back if they’re playing one of the no-melody things I’m not keen on.

Some wine, an oven ready Charlie B meal to save cooking and scrolling through sites trying to find something good to watch on the TV and then probably falling asleep in the middle of it! Exciting times.

We'd AC and GC round for dinner. Dog walk, bed at 11.

When we can be bothered to go out we tend to do so during the week than join the crowds at a weekend 🤭 makes sense, cheaper food, less crowded venues...

I cannot honestly remember when Saturday nights stopped being anything special.

Probably, when I was in my mid-twenties and had a job to go to fairly early on Sundays. Living on a low income, at that time too, so I could not afford to go out much.

Saturday evenings and nights are now much the same as any other day of the week. I make dinner, feed the cats, wash up, shower and wash my hair, either before or after the meal, do any odd jobs I do not want to leave until Monday, and make sure my bike battery and headlamp are fully charged so I can get to Mass and back easily, and with my bike lamps working on Sunday.

Read a book - but then I do that every day.

Exciting ? Not particularly, but it suits me.

I would go to the pub every saturday night but I have no one to go with since hubby died, wardrobes of lovely clothes never worn anymore, my friends have died or are frail I wannabe sing, dance, laugh still

That's very sad, jakuss 🙁. Maybe you could try line dancing classes, ballroom dancing, U3A. You sound like you are still fit and able to enjoy dancing, getting dressed up and having fun. I'm sure your local library will have contacts that you might be interested in. There'll be other ladies in your position who would enjoy your company. Get out and enjoy yourself 🎉🥂💃

I’m afraid we’re not rock and roll either. Pre children Saturday night would have been spent in the pub then busting moves at the local disco, once the children arrived it would be supper parties with local friends. Many have now moved away to be nearer their off spring so most Saturday nights are spent in front of the TV with a glass of wine and eating too much chocolate (me not my husband!). Love the evenings we do socialise though.
