I love Saturday nights….
It’s my favourite night of the week – laptops, mobiles and computers are banned (although I do keep an eye on Twitter through X Factor as some of the comments are hilarious!) and from about five ish, we settle down for some ‘quality family time’, which usually involves an XBox 360 Bomberman tournament, a few board games and obviously the obligatory Saturday night X Factor fest.

After the kids go to bed we usually snuggle up with a takeaway and watch a film. I usually always have a nice bottle of vino chilling in the fridge as I have a bit of a penchant for white wines at the moment.
I’ve come a long way in the wine drinking department since my younger days when I used to drink a certain fizzy white wine with a bad reputation. I remember one night a friend and I decided to try Rose wine so we mixed our fizzy white with a bottle of cheap red wine….
Just for the record, fizzy white wine and cheap red wine does not make Rose.
I might sound like a bit of an alcoholic but I’m not really, I’m actually a really sensible drinker. I tend to stop drinking just before the point of no return, before I get to the stage where I just want to drink everything in sight. Actually, I think I must be getting old because it gets to about ten ‘o’ clock and I just want to be home snuggled up with my family and my mug of hot chocolate – is it just me?
I’ve always loved Saturday nights, but now it’s got nothing to do with going out and drinking with my friends, it’s because I get to spend time with my gorgeous family.
Now, where’s that bottle of wine
Thanks…. I think
I almost forgot it was on Saturday and Sunday this week – Double tweets lol
we do this too on a friday night at the end of a busy week, it really helps us connect as a family.
I think you need time like this as a family

Those sound just like our Saturday nights!
One things that always shocks me a bit is the start of X factor cause it end just before Christmas, makes me realise just how close we are to the end of the year!
I know what you mean – I start planning for Xmas pressies when X factor starts!
Yep I hear you loud and clear. I am also a big fan of Saturdays and for the exact same reasons. Nothing replaces quality family time and Saturday are best spent together doing fun stuff.
How life changes when we have kids hey
