We like to keep up the pretence that we’re flawless and full of craic 24/7 but the reality is that sometimes you’re just a bit wrecked after the week and fancy a night on the couch.
But don’t feel bad if the only dancing you’re going to do is up the stairs to bed because the truth is, we all have our moments… we just make sure to keep them to ourselves.
Here are our top nine things we’d never admit to doing during our Saturday night in.
1) Ignore your phone because you know it’s someone trying to make you go out
You can hear it buzzing but there’s not a hope you’re going to answer. Why would you be dealing with heels and sweaty nightclubs when you can enjoy food porn in your pyjamas instead?
2) Pretend you have friends over to justify your ginormous Domino’s family meal
‘Oh hey Mr Domino’s guy. Yes, I did order two cans of coke because I’m sharing this large pizza with my friend… not eating it all on my own. Definitely not.’
3) Spent the entire night catching up on the episodes of Neighbours that you’ve missed during the week
You have hundreds of films at your disposal on Netflix but to be honest, you’re much more interested in catching up with the craic on Ramsay Street. We’ve all done it.
4) Look up your ex-boyfriends on Facebook and rip into their new girlfriends with your flatmate
Is it the most mature thing ever? Probably not. Is it very therapeutic with a glass of Pinot Grigio? Definitely. You’re way better looking than that wagon anyway.
5) Carry out very unattractive body maintenance eg. tweezing your toe hair
We’ve admitted it. Now let us never speak of it again.
6) Read the end of your book and falling asleep by 10pm
Rock. And. Roll.
7) Send passive aggressive texts to your boyfriend while he’s in the pub
Having too much time on your hands while your OH is out having a great night can lead to some ever so slightly cray-cray exchanges. If he mentions it the following morning, blame it on the wine.
8) Spend the evening toying with severe FOMO while being absolutely delighted that you don’t have to put pants on
You decided to stay in but now, you’re starting to regret it. But if you went out, you’d have to get dressed and straighten your hair. No, definitely made the right decision.
9) Decide it’s going to be an alone night but get bored and end up on Tinder
You could do with some me time but in fairness, this fella is a bit of a ride…
