just recently, i've been in bed for no later than 10pm. ok i feel good in the morning for it but, i finish work at 5, go to the gym on the way home, get in after gym for say 6:30-7:00, have my tea, shower. by then it is 8pm. i have a lot of college work to do which often eats into my time and the same with any chores to be done.
i am single but if i had a missus i don't see how we would spend any quality on an evening and i also feel i'm not really getting any quality time to yself either.
how do other users balance their evenings?
 
doing 12 hours shifts on a messed up patteren doesn't help me and seeing the wife during shifts is hard.

Defo when the rota works all over the place : 4 nights 4 off / 3 days 3 nights 4 off / 4 days 6 off!

This can mess you up when there all 12 hours. best thing you can do is take the time at the two weekends a month you get off to do something productive the wife.

If your single it really doesn't matter how you spend your evenings, do what you feel happy with.
 
get back to ramsgate for 7pm, gym for a hour or two, home at 9ish, dinner, get stuff ready for bed then sleep, up again at 5am :-(
 
My Mon-Fri week includes one or two evenings round the bloke's place or him coming over to mine (though we move in together soon), one evening dancing, say one evening doing something else (pub, meeting up with mates, some other thing) - which leaves me with maybe one evening for laundry or whatever else needs doing.

2 or 3 times a week I try to cycle to and from work instead of drive, which gets me some exercise without cutting out too much of my evening (like going to the gym would).

To be honest, as soon as you get things to do of an evening, you fit the rest around it... I go to bed maybe midnight-1am, and get up at about 8:30am (I currently work about 10am-6pm).
 
Normally at work from 9-5:30, do some Saturday's and then go home to clean up the place, on Thursdays get in the groceries, then go home to finish off any work that is needed. Just in time for bed. I want to start going to the gym but I'm always busy doing work, my damn blackberry just never shut the F* up it's really annoying! Also my work involves me driving across the country. My missus is busy too but we rarely get to spend a lot of time together but we make do!
 
I always end up going to bed at about 1, but watching TV or movies until about 4. Or even worse, sitting in bed with a laptop browsing these forums. I'd say since last March I've spent 100's of hours browsing the forums in the wee hours. It's the same with the mornings, unless I have to be up for University then I end up waking up at half 9 but reading the forums for hours and hours, sometimes until 2 or 3pm. The other day I didn't even get dressed until 8pm. :eek:
 
I'm normally home around 5pm and go to sleep around 10:30pm. In between is normally filled with cooking, eating, washing up, watching DVDs and going online.

I try not to stay up to late as I'm normally up at 05:15am.
 
Home by 7:00pm
Playing with kids (not in a Glitter sense) until 9:30-10:00pm
Asleep by 11:00pm
Wake up at 5:55am

You're complaining about staying up late because you're getting laid? What kind of man are you?! :p

I always seem to have plenty of time free in the evening, though that is partially because I work 8-4 and I live close to work, so I'm always home by 4:15pm. I can easily stay up till 2am though and get up before 7am, so having that extra time in the evening really helps if I need to get things done.
 
Train your body to get less sleep, I used to feel shattered after sleeping for 10-12 hours, tired all day. Now I'm getting 6-8 hours a night on average and feel so much better for it. And I get to stay up later.

All varys for me though, never stay in if i've got an evening where i'm not at work. Down the pub or out for a drive, I can't stand staying in my house. Don't watch much tv, don't often play games and theres only so long you can read a book.

Wish I needed that little sleep and/or had the luxury of getting up that late :D

Short answer to o/p is unless you have a short commute your evening gets eaten away. We usually don't do much during the week. Maybe go out for a meal on a Wednesday but usually it's wasted time watching telly. Don't do any of my hobbies any more, which is what I did when I was single, she didn't have any anyway, so you end up wasting the time to keep each other 'happy' :(

God I feel like Ren Hoek :(
 
Work 1-10 5 days a week pretty much all the time; last week I finished at 7 one night and really didnt know what to do with my time (CS:S got pretty boring with the amount of n00bs online) ended up hitting the student bars
 
I try and get to bed by 10:30pm every night, if I don't I feel rotten because I get up at 6am no matter what.

Evenings are spent in the gym mostly.
