To book a local premier inn for a random Friday night

[Wantitallnightlong]

DH and I have two young teenagers, making personal time very quiet indeed! Premier inn have just emailed me rooms from £35!

Wibu to book a local one for a Friday night and get Granny in to mind the kids?

Oooh, for the days of shagging all night. (If you say do it, I will!)

If strawberry is the worst thing the hotel sheets are stained with, you're doing it wrong

See my NN

But I have a really good memory even after 14 years

I could tell you about the 4-poster bed .... no I can't....

Then there was the night in the bath ..... ooops ... can't tell you about that either...

There was a balcony where we .... nope, that isn't appropriate either.

[Wantitallnightlong]

I shall tell Granny the truth and the kids probably won't even miss us!

[LemonBreeland]

Definitely do it. My eldest is 12 now and this seems to be worse than having toddlers.

[VulcanWoman]

They'll just have to cringe

[macnab]

Oh definitely do it!

But I'm just curious as to what you're going to tell Granny and the teens? If you tell them the truth won't the kids be a bit 'eeeeuggh'? Will you have to make up a detailed lie about where you're going and why etc?

someone else washes the strawberry-stained sheets

[CheesyNachos]

do it. :)

[lighteningirl]

Doo it do it do it and buy the biggest sweetest stickiest desert to eat in bed

[MazzleDazzle]

I love any excuse for a night away!

Glad you booked it. Enjoy!

Like a previous poster has said, def take your own bottle (or 2!), glasses and corkscrew. Also, candles, bubble bath etc.

[ChristmasZombie]

Yes! Do it! And add on the Premier Breakfast, can't beat an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet!

[CocktailQueen]

Do it! A great plan

[VulcanWoman]

Book it!

[BarbaraofSeville]

Do it! May I also suggest looking at the Village Hotels. They often have offers like £20 a night, or even cheaper if you buy dinner and they have a spa, so go early and make a proper mini break of it.

[Seren85]

Do it! Those beds are awesome and even if you send the kids out and stop at home there'll always be something you both notice and think needs doing. Go to aldi and buy some prosecco and enjoy a night off without responsibility.

[sadwidow28]

Would you believe that I do it occasionally - and I am a widow?

I sometimes just need a little bit of TLC and human interaction (not sexy stuff - I go on my own). Clean sheets are simply dreamy!

[MidniteScribbler]

Do it. I'm a single parent, and I hire a babysitter and book myself a night in a hotel once every six months. I can have a lazy afternoon nap, long soak in the tub, glass bottle of wine and a sleep in the next morning.

There's nothing wrong with having a bit of time to yourself (with or without your partner).

[ValiantMouse]

No, I've been thinking about booking a night away just so I can get some sleep!

[Sweetdreamsforall]

Haha dh and I fantasise about doing this all the time, but we have no sitter! Cry cry.

Get some naughty new underwear for the occasion too!

[bessiebumptious2]

Do it. And while you're at it, book the next 4 Fridays too. How can you regret it?

If you stayed at home, you'd get distracted and if you're investing in your relationship then all the more reason. It's important!

[ladybird69]

um little advice from a fan of hotel sleepovers don't forget the blooming corkscrew

[sadwidow28]

Do it.

You can't beat the clean sheets that someone else put on the bed.....

• pack some wine in your suitcase
  
• strawberries
  
• meal deal to re-energise
  
• breakfast is extra in the morning (but you might want to keep that time and have brunch at home )
  
• someone else washes the strawberry-stained sheets

[RainOhJoyus]

Book it!

[MotherKat]

Really glad you went for it, there's nothing quite like a hotel room to take your mind off the laundry/washing up/shall we paint the ceiling stuff that distracts you when you try a home date

[Redglitter]

My ex and I used to book the £19 rooms when they were advertised and use it for the afternoon

[TheWomanInTheWall]

Probably a winter sale or summat, Peridot.
