On Tuesday I saw an opportunity, so I seized it! John had been working in Birmingham and was going to be late home. It’s rare I’m home before him as his hours, and commute, mean he’s home before I’ve even finished my day. Having not specified that the home cooked meal had to be anything […]
So this weeks date better have another half… Homemade, candle light dinner, made by Kate What are the chances of there being one made by John in the jar?? He’s remaining quiet on that conundrum! In the meantime he’s been hailed a ‘genius’ by my (male) work colleagues… PS the jigsaw is still in a […]
Another well timed date this week (just before pay day!) Go and buy a jigsaw and complete it together I love a good jigsaw!! This takes me back to childhood, we regularly completed jigsaw on rainy Cornish holidays, or they were used to keep us quiet during rainy weekends at home! I wasn’t convinced we’d […]
A bit late this week – in fact setting this one up will be to the wire! It’s another future planning one, this time… Plan a party at home We have said for months that we should get everyone together at ours, we meant to do it at Christmas… So now we HAVE to do […]

The chosen topping was Chinese chicken, mushroom, peppers and mountains of cheese. One half had pineapple too, but not the half I ate!! Movie choice was decided by Amazon Prime Video (ie […]
This week we’ve got another movie night to look forward to, with an added activity… Make home made pizzas and watch a movie My Christmas present bread maker gets another outing (it does get used more than just on date night!) as it also makes dough! Now the film, it technically should be John’s choice… […]
Well, as Monday mornings go picking this envelope made it a good start to the day! John had to be up early (5am!) to get a train to London so I was a bit bleary eyed when I made my choice. I’m still not sure there is a method to my madness and I just […]
Apologies for the combined post, it’s been a busy week! So, this week I picked one of the ones John had been dreading – an early idea that was then super-sized but couldn’t be retrieved! So, this week, we’re chilling! Date night will consist of us reading and listening to my choice of music. The […]
