It’s almost 10pm here in the UK. My cosy evening in consisted of a bowl of gnocchi with homemade ratatouille, the latest episode of Doctor Who, and a few chapters of a book.

Now I’m in bed with a pile of cats. Bliss.

I needed this post today, feeling a little lonely. It’s a good reminder that cozy Saturday nights in can be a good thing :)

SAME.

I ran the BK half marathon today and I’m enjoying laying in bed with a movie spree going eating a box of pizza.

This is the best feeling ever.

I’ve always been a homebody outside of work. You couldn’t pay me enough to go out. I really love being alone & having some peace & quiet.

Ive found my people. I’m in bed with black berries and a book.

I worked until 1, went to the gym, did a whole long shower/self care thing and now I'm painting my nails after a few bong hits. I'm going to watch Netflix the rest of the evening while I burn some candles and go to bed in my fresh sheets 💜

I think we’re living the same Saturday 😂

I look forward to that EVERY weekend. Just me, my cat and my log cabin on 10 acres..no nasty people or horrible news. Nature, peace and quiet

I ran errands, took a break to watch a creepy thriller movie, have a few more things I want to get finished (like cleaning under my bed for a new mattress and adjustable base I’m getting tomorrow, so excited!!!) then shower, yummy food and wine on the couch watching narcos with my cats! And honestly I’m so excited it’s stupid, love weekends like this!!!!

My People! I work long hours and long drives for assignments all week and always work Saturdays.

Worked, got home around 230, shower, ate, napped, just woke up and will decompress ,watch tv, internet, snack,read until sleepytime.

Being a required extroverted can be exhausting, glad to be introvert on my day off

My little, old kitty and I have had a fabulous Saturday! We are currently snuggling and watching tv.

Yes, so looking forward to this evening. It’s been rainy all day so I’m going to put on some flannel pajamas, make a nice dinner and watch a movie with my dog.

Sounds just like my wild Saturday night. Enjoy!!

I have a cold. Made myself a quick curry, watched Bridgeton and got an early night. Was cozy.

I did realise these long delays between series on Netflix totally ruins the momentum though. I was look forward to Penelope’s story. The actress is great but the show and then splitting episodes has killed it for me. Netflix definitely won’t be part of my cozy nights much longer.

I actually got invited to a family dinner tonight. I opted to just chill at home. Bottle of wine and grill a hamburger. Hang out with dog. Chill mode.

I am working on a quilt, gonna make dessert for a church picnic tomorrow and drink whiskey in my quiet house.

Your evening plans sound perfect!

-another 30 something working professional

It’s my birthday today and I have absolutely nothing planned. The weather is nice and I finally got to walk with my dog in my new neighborhood and sit by the water. I’m spending the rest of the night watching TV and eating pizza.

HELL YES!

I actually worked today, but came home and put my yoga pants on. Currently sitting on my couch with a cat curled up against my side and the sun streaming in and birds chirping outside.

Life is good.

big fight coming up. cleaning right now and watching youtube... Andy Cooks... I recommend... and going to cook in a bit.. this morning I went to the gym then headed to a popular cultural/food/ hangout area in my city and walked about mile to another kinda cool area and ate a brisket breakfast sandwich and these really potatoes and a martini.

was and is a good day...a bit hot already though and dam spring

My go to routine. Did the yard work yesterday and had a nice fire and listened to music with my dogs. Today I cleaned the inside. I’ll make some dinner and watch a movie or 2. Maybe a video game. The weather has been fantastic so also putting some time in my hammock just enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

Oh gosh, me too! I love being at home. I worked today and then did some cleaning and organizing. It's so nice to just have a simple supper and relax in my clean apartment that I love. Just me and my dog. It's really peaceful.

watch the horse racing, Preakness stakes and Nascar truck race

It’s been go go go all week. Also today. It’s almost 5:30 pm and I just changed to pj’s. Slight headache and sore from too much physical activity.

Woken my leg cramps last night.

It feels like I need a rest day. I’ve got a cat on my lap, nice knitting project in process, OOTP on Patreon. It’s very cozy.

We deserve some peace and quiet.

I wish. I love nights like that. It’s usually my Friday night ritual to wind down from the week. A nice walk with the dog, takeout for dinner as a treat and a good movie on the sofa with puppy cuddles followed by a hot bath and reading curled up in bed.

Unfortunately we got hit by an intense storm Thursday and I still don’t have power- so it will be a sweaty night trying to stay as still as I can. And no restaurants nearby can do delivery and the ones that are open are packed and crazy busy. Thankfully I have a generator and a gas stovetop. So I can at least cook some mac and cheese and then watch a movie with the fan on. Dog will have to stay on her own side of the sofa, though. Too hot for cuddles.

Too bad it's not Christmas, we could all do "Home Alone!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

East coast 6:47pm and laying in bed watching Law and Order on my iPad. 😃

Me! I’ve ordered junk food, have murder docs on, and am texting several potential suitors on the dating apps

Absolutely. Is it a little quiet/lacking social connectedness? Yes. Is it completely devoid of all the crap of having a spouse and a range of disordered people? Absolutely. Me and my shepherds and cats with rest, walk, cook, read. Now that I know how not helpful so much of that other kind of contact was, I'm mostly just peacefully grateful for an authentic life of sanity and freedom.

Did my vote by mail, went to the farmers market, read some magazines at the library and now am ready for a chopped salad dinner, What we do in shadows video, and jazz music with patio doors open to the sound of rain outside!

I’ve lived on my own on and off since I was 18. I’ve been living alone for the last couple years but am going through a breakup. It’s still fresh and still hurts. So today I’ve been feeling kind of down. It’s been nice reading through the comments and seeing other people supporting each other.

Same as the other six nights of the week.

This is my Saturday every week. And Friday. And Sunday. Lol

I spent the afternoon putting together care packages for the homeless so I’m gonna have a sandwich, rest my feet, and watch some Doctor Who. With the cat. It’s nice out so I opened the windows, and the street noise is nice. I might read some later. Perfect Saturday night in Chicago.

Yes, every Saturday. Total rest & relaxation! I spent the day doing laundry 😀. Cheers!!

I had a lovely, cozy Saturday night as well! I sat on my balcony and read a book, and then I made dinner and had a glass of wine. Watched a little Netflix, and now I’m snuggled up in bed about to read a book before going to sleep. It was a rainy, dreary day outside but I didn’t mind being ensconced in my happy little home. I love the simplicity and serenity of a cozy night in.

Yes! I work on Sundays so Saturday nite is my gear down time to the upcoming work week. I’ll be In bed by 10:00 😴

I'm planning to do just that, it's one of my favorite things!

Sure, there are times when I'm in the mood for company or to be out in the world on a Saturday night. But there are many times when I'm happy as a clam to have a clean house, clean sheets, freshly laundered blankets, made a yummy dinner, and plan to eat while watching one of my favorite shows or a movie. Then take a nice shower, do my skincare routine, put on something cozy and curl up on the couch with a book or show and a nice dessert.

Absolutely! I was supposed to go to a baseball game with my boyfriend and his family. Last minute they decided not to go. I honestly could not be more thrilled! I am so much happier drinking and smoking weed at home lol

Absolutely. It's almost 8, and I'm on the couch with a book, my dog and the TV in the background.

It’s been a lazy Saturday at home for me. I’m just happy that it’s finally summer and taking a walk outside today and feeling the heat on my skin was great!

At times I can be a total homebody and just want to chill here in my space. No idea of how I will spend tomorrow at this time. I’ll just take it day by day.

The thing about living alone, you don’t have to rush and trying to figure out what you want to do every weekend or holiday .

love the simplicity!

I'm going out for a while. Mainly because my town is throwing a "block party" tonight. Really just an excuse for the merchants to advertise themselves more. But because I'm in a new apartment and need to meet as many people as I can, I think I better go out. It's a doomed affair, though, since I'm an introvert!

My phone ringing and I’m not answering. Went to brunch earlier and that was quite enough for me.

i got burritos, cigs, a couple pre rolls and some good djs spinning mode on local radio, lets enjoy this

This sounds like a wonderful Sat night

Im just getting at work here in Bend Oregon I’m going getting out of my iniform get in to clean clothes wondering outside to injoy the rest of my evening!

Absolutely....made myself a delicious salad for dinner. Walked the dog, gave myself a mani/pedi and now am playing on my phone. Life is good

Your evening sounds lovely! Our plans are similar

Always look forward to being home in the evening, especially on the weekends.

I love my cozy Saturday nights in my apartment and get a little cranky when I have plans outside of my apartment on Saturday nights lol.

This sub showed up in my feed and I have found my people.

I used to be married and every Saturday we had to go out. Now that I’m single I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to not have social pressure to do it. Me and my dog just get some Chinese food, video game and watch a movie. My life is so much more at peace

I am! I made a homemade pizza. I am in my pajamas already. I'm watching Space 1999.
I also have a good dog beside me and have a cozy blanket.

I'm at work til Monday at 9am, so Monday is yalls Saturday. I'll comment then, lol. But probably, just chillin.

It is now 6:30 CST where I am. I cleaned my apt and went out to get some groceries earlier. I am now watching Twitch with a movie on in the background to try and get an an idea of what game I will play later lol. I'm going to go out on the patio and relax with a new craft beer before cooking some burgers and cutting up potatoes for fries. Your Saturday's are very similar to mine! lol

Cuddled up with my dogs & murder docs for the night :)

Spent the day with a friend, then ran a quick errand. Now at home relaxing. I've got some pasta with bolognese sauce cooking, and looking forward to digging into it while binge watching Grey's Anatomy.

Sounds good to me 😊

Cheers to the freakin' weekend 😊

I went out for drinks at 5 pm. Home in pajamas before 8. 😅😅 I’m in my happy place now.

absolutely

Yesss! Went out for Thai for dinner and watching the new Bridgerton

Hockey playoffs are on.

Yes! I canceled going to my friends bday party bc I had no desire for small chit chat or to be around ppl in general

I can't remember having a "nice, cozy Saturday night" at home.

Working 2 jobs can do this to you. Having a day off from one job, but not the other.

I love my Saturday nights in! I'm 49 and I work all week, I look forward to relaxing, staying in and doing my own thing on Saturday nights.

Sounds terrific, hope you did exactly what you said! :) I work remotely (10 yrs), so I'm at home a lot, which is perfectly fine w/ me. Wouldn't wan't it any other way. I have a patio balcony, but never sit out there...mainly due to the view I have. Just the back of another building in the complex, but that's OK! I love my apt...been here 12 yrs now.

Yeah as I get older I cherish the times when I don't have to do anything. Life is short, make sure to smell the flowers once in a while. This is something it has taken time for me to learn

That sounds like a great evening! I went to the gym earlier, did mani and pedi and now watching UFL until my baseball game returns from rain delay. Drinking coffee. Not mad😊

Sounds awesome! I love to cook, so tonight is shrimp quesadillas and a movie. Maybe some Conan videos on YouTube after. Ahhhhh happy Saturday

I had DoorDash for dinner. Then a little herbal refreshment while watching John Oliver reruns as my pup enjoys a pizzle stick at the bottom of the recliner. No complaints at all.

I’m contemplating going over to Borgata or Harrahs. I get tired of being alone if the kiddos aren’t here.

I spent the day with my two older sisters and a couple of nieces in Palm Springs. Now I'm lounging on my bed with one of my cats.

I'm trying to motivate myself to relocate to the living room so I can play some video games. The motivation is just not there.

Doing it right now. Busted my ass today and just iced a few beers. If I could comfortably piss my pants I wouldn’t move the rest of the night.

Hell yeah. Oil change, walk my dog, Zelda BoTW, watch The Last of Us and read more of A Series of Fortunate Events. My definition of a chill Saturday.

I live alone always looking forward to sat night Alone Saturday night live on tonight for a special 2hrs

Hell did I miss the big horse race today oh no I always bet dam it could of been a great sat night

I live for this!

Me ! I’m late 50’s who used to enjoy going out every Saturday, until this year. Now I’d rather be doing a project at my house than deal with the general public. People have gotten really weird.

That sounds like a great Saturday night!

Lying on the bed reading comic books. Also catching up on X-Men.

I just started book Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Looks promising for a cozy night. The first page immersed me. “A suburban drama that reads like a thriller”.

Yep, just had one . Now looking forward for a duplicate on Sunday.

I love that until the whole neighborhood fires up lawn mowers and ruins the peace

My Saturday night was a nice night in (also East Coast US). I was texting with a friend, catching up on my shows, and ordered Greek food for dinner.

Saturday is usually my rest day from the workweek; I tend to do chores around the house on Sunday in preparation for Monday.

I’m Northeast USA 🇺🇸. Today Sunday is my Friday cause I have tomorrow off. I hope you enjoyed your last night.

The feeling after cleaning the whole apartment, lighting a candle, turning on the fireplace place, and putting on a favorite movie, while snuggling with the pets, is bliss. I look forward to it every weekend.
