Date idea for January

(Ok I know it´s not January, but I wanted to start at the start, so bear with me....)

January – a month that’s cold, miserable and dreary!! A month when we are all broke!! So our date night has to be something interesting but CHEAP!! Here is an idea….

Idea 1: Things to have: - Candles, Writing paper, pens, bottle of wine (or in my case –cola), favourite sweets/chocolate.Tonight’s date is to be cosy. Through the date you want to share your inner most thoughts and dreams with your partner.Start the evening by lighting the fire (if available) and candles. Pour each other a glass of wine or chilled cola and arrange the sweets and chocolate in a bowl close at hand.


Fetch your duvet and cuddle up on the sofa together to enjoy your sweets and drink. Just go with the flow!!

Now it’s time to go down memory lane. Dig deep into your mind and heart. Think back to the first time you saw each other. Talk about what attracted you the most about your partner. Was it her eyes, his smile?? Was it his laugh??

Think back to the early days - what made you fall in love with each other?? Then take your pens and paper. Write a letter to your partner, telling him/her five things that you like about them. Think about the little things. Maybe it’s the way they take the rubbish out for you. Think deep…it may take a while to find 5 things, but trust me…if there’s a will there’s a way!!You can start your letter by saying “…(name of person) …I am so glad to be married to you because…” and then list the 5 things.

When you have finished, give the letter to your partner and enjoy the closeness of sharing each other’s deepest thoughts and feelings.
Now that´s a good way to spend a cold, winters night!!
