getting rid of the kids and spending a few days together just being people and not parents.My ds went to my parents for 3 days and dp was off work.We did things we used to do just talked no tv chilled out went out to lunch twice went on the bus into town and looked around bookshops and things we actually like!Watched dvds in the evenings and it really has done something to us I feel much happier and younger and I would recommend it to anyone.I really enjoyed every minute and feel rejuvenated (relationship wise)

sigh.

yes.

that is fabulous

you've got to have someone willing to do it though.

but do agree. we spent our fifth wedding anniversary night together alone and it was sensational...we were like giggly schoolkids.

We didn't plan it and I think that helped There was no pressure to spend the time on 'us' it just happened.I can't believe anyone wouldn't at least give it a go

Oh how nice, I'm glad you had a lovely time. We've been away alone for 2 nights each time twice this year and it is just bliss having romantic time alone, I agree.

D'you know, we haven't had a night together without children since ds1 was born - he'll be 10 in March. I think it's probably long overdue - perhaps I'll book us a night away for our 10th wedding anniversary in September.

Moo, go for 2 nights if you possibly can, honestly, it makes a HUGE difference in terms of unwinding and spending time together, you get up in the morning and there's a WHOLE day in front of you AND another night, it makes all the difference.

I've got lots of Tesco vouchers - could use them for two nights in an hotel... You're convincing me, noddy

Agree 1 night isn't enough we have had single nights when ds is at sleepovers and it isn't the same
