      La Salsa Date Night

      Posted on 2nd June 20159th June 2020 by Kate

      Finally a date! We managed to go out and have dinner on Friday without me being sick, crying or falling asleep – an achievement! I did however fail as I didn’t take a single picture… I thought I was going to be sick the amount we ate but it was all good! As previously explained […]

      A few weeks…

      Posted on 26th May 201514th April 2023 by Kate

      So it’s been a while… I’d like to think it was just a blip though and NOT John being proved right that I wouldn’t keep the blog going. Truth be told although we have opened envelopes we’ve not actually had a date for some weeks… There is many reasons for this from work schedules to […]

      An announcement

      Posted on 25th May 201514th April 2023 by Kate

      So on top of counting dates in weeks, we’re also counting them for another exciting reason… We’d like to introduce you to Dot. Dot is due to make our family 3 at the end of September. Since almost the beginning of this blog we’ve known this news and the dates have been very friendly to […]

      Weeks 16 & 17 – I’m behind!

      Posted on 21st April 201515th April 2023 by Kate

      So, it’s been a busy few weeks… Hence the joint post! We haven’t even been for tapas yet… mainly due to illness, work commitments from both of us (on different days so we couldn’t even time that right!) Week 16 I opened an interesting one, a little Monopoly inspired maybe?! Add something of your choice […]

      A candlelit dinner

      Posted on 9th April 201515th April 2023 by Kate

      On the sunniest day of the year so far (it’s only April so there WILL be more!) I got home form work to find the lounge/dining room in candle light and some delicious smells coming from the kitchen… It was date night! A little late but who’s complaining, I have broken the rules on other dates… […]

      Jigsaw update

      Posted on 7th April 20159th June 2020 by Kate

      Yes, we’re still doing jigsaws! And to make our lives complete for Easter – following a treasure hunt! – my Mum got us a case to keep the jigsaw in! It’s amazing, it fits perfectly on our coffee table and we can zip it up, put it away and the pieces are where we left […]

      Week 15

      Posted on 6th April 20159th June 2020 by Kate

      I’m on a roll, this weeks date involves more eating! Dinner at La Salsa in Horwich This might sound very specific but Las Salsa is one of our favourite haunts, not only is it just down the road from our apartment but once you’ve experienced all you can eat tapas there is no going back! […]

      This week I get to sit back and relax! A homemade candle lit dinner, made by John Without help or interference  Yes!! I knew it was in there somewhere! 🙂 And I am happy not to help or interfere, or at least try… It’s Easter this week and with John STILL working in London a […]

      Coffee Shop Date

      Posted on 27th March 20159th June 2020 by Kate

      The only benefit (apart from having the TV remote to myself!) of John being away during the week is him arriving back in Manchester at a time that coincides with me finishing work so we can have a cheeky midweek date night! On Thursday that’s exactly what happened! So with a twist on a coffee […]

      Week 13

      Posted on 24th March 20159th June 2020 by Kate

      Date night this week is a coffee shop date Now, John’s in London til Thursday, we’re at a wedding on Saturday (first one in AGES, very excited!) so there’s few opportunities for coffee, let alone a coffee date. But, I guess that’s the challenge!
