snape - i always love activity dates, you know, when its actually ' doing' somehting, rather than just sitting there talking. Plus it gives you something to talk about, its easier to flirt if you are laughing, and theres always the option to extend the date to ' the pub' afterwards if its all going well. so a mid afternoon date... depends what he likes, ive had some fab dates eating ice cream at various places, beach, park etc... rowiing boats and a park is good, though maybe not in this weather! ive done amusments on a pier, which was a fab date actually, some kind of theatre? picnic - oooh, picnic is good and cheap and he can get you to make yummy cakes, girls like cake, he cant lose. Art gallery/ museum/ something to look at and a picnic? regents park and a picnic. im getting obsessed with the picnic thing here arent i. i want someone to take me on a picnic!!!!!!!!
sponge - it doesnt matter. it doesnt. and its better for a party anyway :) or have it outside, ton of plastic tables, chuck some nice table clots on, lots of tea lights in jam jars, bread on wooden boards, cheese on slate, slow roasted ribs, some bunting, blankets on the grass or weeds go all jamie oliver on them.hang some mirrors on the garden fences, mis matched old ones, 25p at car boots, if you can get a few flowering plants.. Shut all doors bar the kitchen and dining room. Tidy the living room just in case. then if people do wander else where, they will likely to be drunk and wont be caring what the rest of it looks like.
( i do parties quite a lot)
