Getting the girls around for a night in is an easy choice if you're fed up of the hustle and bustle of nightclubs. It's less expensive, there's no queuing involved and the whole event can take place in your pyjamas- what's not to love about that?

Play a Game

We all know that after a couple of drinks everyone becomes the worlds best singer and dancer, so be why not put your skills to the test? If you've got a Nintendo Wii and some singing/ dancing competition games definitely utilise them! The neighbours will probably hate you by the morning, but watching recordings back the next day is just priceless. Online Bingo is a good option too, many websites like 32Red offer bonuses to new players. Online gaming is not just for men and this is being reflected in more and more new game developments. 

Pamper

The perfect start to the night, comfy pjs, face masks and mani- pedis all round. Probably best to leave things like eyebrow reshaping and hair dying for a more sober occasion, my friend went home with one waxed arm once after a girls night in; I have no idea why we didn't think to do the other one.

Films

If you want more of a relaxing, quiet girls night in then a film night is always fun. A great chance to re-watch cheesy chick flicks with some scented candles on the go and a glass of Prosecco- what could be better?

Cook

You could set up a 'Come Dine With Me' type of competition where you each cook a course and score each other, or all pitch in to make a tasty meal. Things like fajitas, nachos and tacos are a good choice as it's less formal and you're all able to just help yourself. If it all goes drastically wrong or if cooking isn't really your thing, there's always the option of ordering a trusty Dominos!
