Had a lovely evening yesterday and afterwards we vowed that, once a week, (turns each,) we would plan something to enjoy together, outside of the normal 'routine' : talk about our day/ work, go for a few drinks, eat, maybe watch a bit of telly, fart about on the internet, fall asleep on the sofa and snore, (him,) go to bed
....So, I've got a few ideas and I'm looking for more....not looking for 'wowwy/big stuff' (they're easy,) just kinda simple pleasures. So, any suggestions?

We do that loads Baz......Some, (v v sociable,) friends of mine who are both great cooks do this thing where they have one night a week, just for them, and take turns each cooking a new recipe... I think that's a good idea

Mebbees ...What, even a game of scrabble evening?
Try geocaching, it's free
Play cards. Not suggesting strip poker or anything (although if you fancy it then why not!) but just a few games of whatever you can think of.
I have no idea where you live but this web site
http://www.experiencemad.co.uk/Flying-Experiences/ offers lots to do from Driving,Flying,wet and wild (now) Relax,wine tasting and afternoon tea on the Thames ,Harrods or lots of other registered hotels throughout the UK.My brother has done the flight simulator package and loved it,he then went on to do the sea plane trip taking of from the Clyde up to Oban,again he loved it.
Sea plane info.
Summer and Ells, good ideas
Steam train trip ,the Orient express is one that I am going to do.I always say it but never do.This thread has pushed me to definately book.

Are you looking to do something different every week? Otherwise how about doing an evening class together. You could try something outside of your comfort zone (I don't know what that is for you) like pottery or dancing or a massage class.
Is this for a group of people or a romantic duo?
Turn the telly off and talk ........maybe get photo albums out and reminisce (sp).
Also I know the nights will start drawing in now but a walk when you both have a day off can be fun. Our library has loads of leaflets for all sorts of walks and lots of other ideas too

Erinp, thanks,(really
) but, sorry that's kinda the opposite of what I want...Thinking more along the lines of 'everyday'/ 'after work' things, if that makes sense?...Gawd, hope i don't sound like a 'saddo' here, I have got loads of ideas...am i the only one who just 'flops' after a stressful day at work?

We do do that loads Soozy.......and do loads of music stuff together....really hope this doesn't sound like we're 'saddos'..but, we can all get into a bit of a 'routine'/ be sooo stressed out by work, that it's all too easy to just 'flop' at the end of the day???
