What's your typical Saturday night?

Can of cider, gas fire on, sitting on the floor watching TV and waiting for Casualty to start

Me too!!

Same here.

We're quite happy on the sofa / armchair with a cat each on us. The cats are happy too 🐈🐈‍⬛

It’ll be a brown paper bag next kitty and Calendar 🤣🤣

I was a nurse working in a busy hospital and Saturday nights were no different to any other night but if I was off we would have a night out at the local pub meeting up with other family members.
My husband died when I was 54 and since then I’ve preferred to stay home .
Tonight I am babysitting my 14yo autistic DGD while my DS and DIL have a deserved night out in Liverpool. DGD will only stay with me . They probably won’t be home until 2am so it’s a very late night for me . Normally I would drive the ten minutes to home but I don’t have my car so son will order me an uber .

Dinner, cottage pie with broccoli and carrots, finished, MrJ clearing up.
He’ll watch rugby, I’ll adjourn to watch my only soap, Casualty, I’ve got a shandy - drinking out of the can, how decadent!

The slippery slope.

😂

You obviously know how to live, too, Jax.

Getting ready to watch France v England at the Stade de France. 🏉
Our son is there. He's just sent me a photo of his dinner in a Paris restaurant, so I'm pretending I'm there too. 😋

Oh we did go to the theatre yesterday.

Expensive mediocrity!!

I’m usually in bed before 10pm for sure - frequently before 9pm. But often awake for a couple of hours during the night. Up by 7-7.30.

We’ve had fish pie for tea. 🐟

I’m in my pyjamas and dressing gown, have just watched episode 2 of ‘A Woman Of Substance’.

Before long, I shall make us each a mug of cocoa, then I shall watch a ‘Midsomer Murders’ until 10.

Then I shall go to bed and read a bit of my library book.

Yes, we are boring old …..

(The thought of getting dressed up to go out on a Saturday night now fills me with horror).

Every other Saturday night treat: Fish and chips. Gin and tonic for OH and glass of white wine for me. I'm trying to lose a few pounds so have been very careful today so think I deserve a treat! Can somebody explain "going out on a Saturday night" please???? So long ago I've forgotten.

Just finished our meal - plaice and tray baked veggies, followed by chopped papaya , passion fruit and yogurt.

Sat slumped on the sofa. DH watching “Capture” - I’m reading “Names” and getting an order ready from the butchers, for April - decided to chance it and get some barbecue stuff.

Sat in the garden in the sun with the cat today - it was beautiful, so figured we could think of our first barbecue next month.

It usually involves some Saturday tends to be a curry night, but my son stayed Thursday in order to take me out for an early Mother's Day lunch Friday, I did one of his favourite curries Thursday. So instead tonight we will have M&S Chicken Kyiv with roast potatoes and vegetables, my o/h's choice, it must come from M&S though, no other supermarket version of that will do. Then we will find something to watch, not always the same thing. I started Channel 4's, 1st episode of a Women of Substance last night so may well continue with that. I suppose tonight is a fairly typical Saturday evening for us.

We usually have a naughty meal it’s gammon egg and chips tonight. I have opened a bottle of Prosecco. We will watch something together on tv and be in bed for 10 pm

Haha yes, the night was just warming up at 10.00pm. Now I’m literally shattered by midnight. But you know, given the right circumstances ( & company ) I could still enjoy a good night out. could probably even manage a dance or two before collapsing

I’m not long back from watching my football team, and currently watching Chelsea v Newcastle on the TV with a glass of wine.
Chatting to my brother and sister on WhatsApp about my first grandchild born 2 weeks ago 👶 ❤️

Yes and some of us go to sleep at 10 and wake up at 2am !!

Some of you stay up until 10.00 pm! Impressive!!

I have my son who is single visiting from a distance, which is lovely. I've just served us all fajitas as I don't like all the clearing away & washing up later at night nowadays. Rugby (picking over todays matches) on TV so I'll browse a bit on my laptop.

I'm laughing to myself as I wonder how many of us would hide behind the curtains if say 'Friends' arrived wanting to whisk us to a party. ??!! Young me would have been out of the door so fast I'd have sparks coming off my heels, me now :'Quick, hide' !!!

Mine is no more exciting. DH is watching football in the playroom, I'm watching Death in Paradise on iplayer with a glass of rosé. DH will cook spicy chicken wings in a while.

We know how to live.

kitty, I admire your crazed life. I am revisiting Hettie Wainthrope. Him indoors is tinkering with some fret work.

I'm on my second!!!!!

Snap, cheers 🥂

We take it in turns to cook on a Saturday evening, my turn tonight and I am being decidedly lazy and unhealthy in my choice. Ham, egg and chips, which we will have around 7.30-7.45pm.

I'm veggie but egg and chips sound yum.

Our Saturday night ritual consists of me putting some southern fried chicken strips and southern fried potato wedges in the oven. We have various sauces as dips - barbecue, mayo, ketchup. Sometimes we have dessert.

You can tell we're old as it's something we really look forward to.
