Is it possible for me to create a romantic evening for OH and I with no wine, money or babysitter? Any ideas very greatly received.

I think it is possible. put kids to bed, making sure they're sparked out.
have a favourite dinner thats easy to prep and cook, so less stress. no wine isn't a problem, you get nice fruit juices or things like appletiser or shloer if you wanted.
maybe watch a movie together, a romance or a comedy you'll enjoy. lots of canoodling on the couch Wink
then use baby oil and give each other a massage, take your time over it and no expectations from it.
or do something you both enjoy that requires you to do it together, like cards, poker, chess, boardgames etc.

Definitely. In fact, it's more romantic if you've had to be creative and don't have the usual props. Is it a special occasion (like his birthday) that you're doing all the work or could OH join in with the creativity and come up with his own ideas?

Thank you both. Not a special occasion, been a bit poorly since Nov and he has been great, although I'm still feeling crappy I just wanted to show him that I love and appreciate him. Usually I would cook a nice tea, light a few candles and have a few drinks that kind of thing.

There was a leak under the kitchen a few weeks ago so candles ruined and after a bit of a Christmas overspend and DS starting nursery this month money is accounted for so not really any spare to nip out and buy ingredients and a bottle of wine.

The fact that you're doing this to show him he's appreciated should be romantic enough. Favourite food and a nice relaxing evening can work wonders.
Have a nice night

Thank you Boobles I'm sure we will.
