This weeks date involves going out for dinner again!! We’re going to be out a lot soon… Or not!! Dinner out and a trip to the cinema. Joint account pays! Who did he think has paid for the other meals?!!

I think my numbers are all askew, I am now 33 weeks pregnant and therefore we should be at least on as many weeks, with me finding the missing date I’m now jumping on a week to level things out! I had a sense of deja vu when opening this weeks envelope! Go for a […]

I knew I’d missed one!! And it came to me in a flash of inspiration, this one was a few weeks ago: Trafford Centre date, dinner, cinema and mini golf  This week I picked an easier one, for John at least: Breakfast in bed, John chooses, Kate makes it!  Great, he better pick something easy, […]

After success at the weekend and accomplishing a couple of dates we’re failing again! We have serious catching up to do, and limited time and energy! To ensure this remains enjoyable and I’m not falling asleep in my dinner, or at the fair! We’ll just keep a list of the ones yet to be done […]

It’s a good job Dot is roughly in time with the weeks as I’d have lost count otherwise! It’s a bit scary that there are only 12 weeks left (roughly) until she’s here now… In the meantime this weeks date, is one of mine: Go to a comedy night, or if there isn’t one on […]

So we were a bit late again this week even picking an envelope, never mind having the date… I picked: Buy a £5 gift for each other… Thinking caps on! We’re going to exchange at our date next on Friday – to a restaurant of John’s choice (Bem Brasil) 🙂

I’m getting good at this picking game now, or maybe the choice is just diminishing, we are over half way through the year! I picked well again 🙂 Go out for a ‘posh’ meal, and dress appropriately. We need to get this one in soon… We’re going for wedding anniversary afternoon tea this weekend at […]

This week we go on holiday, Italy for 10 days – I’m sure we can tick a few dates off the ever growing list while we’re there, surely we’ll have a coffee and a walk! This week I picked another one of mine: A candle lit dinner at home, with no technology all night.  I […]

I’m lost on the numbers now! I forgot to pick an envelope on Monday, so here we are on Tuesday evening when the jar was remembered! And it was worth the wait… Breakfast in bed. Kate’s choice, John makes it!  Hoorah! As we have a busy morning (hairdressers and a 5 year olds birthday party) […]

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 […]
