How to have a romantic evening on the cheap
I felt in the need for a bit of a romantic treat on Friday, but what with the recent (and surprisingly expensive) holiday, and general outgoings around house sales, money's too tight to mention...
Oh money money money money
Cutbacks!
...shut it Hucknall! No, for romantic suggestions for the Casanova on a budget, I always turn an altogether smoother (and far less ginger) crooner. Take it away, Nat!
Let there be you,
Let there be me.
Yeah well, that's kind of a given. Self love is, undeniably, a cheap option, but I'm looking for the two-person version.
Let there be oysters
Shit, really? I hate seafood.
Under the sea.
Phew. Best place for them, in my opinion.
Let there be wind,
An occassional rain.
Look Nat, I'm after romance, not the bleedin' weather forecast.
Chilli con carne,
Sparkling champagne.
NOW you're talking!
And so it was, a quick trip down the supermarket for the ingredients for a top notch chilli con carne, a bottle of champers and a lovely orchid plant as a gift, and I had the makings of a great night in. Add to that a brilliant episode of Doctor Who (to snuggle during the scary bits), a judicious sprinkling of candles, and a woo campaign of military precision ensued. I scare myself sometimes. :-)

mmmmmm Lasagne.
Sorry what was that comment about me being a spitting image of Garfield? :o)
Try the one in 'Nigella Express'. Quick. Easy. Delicious. Full of lard.
Claire - when you see a good un you have to be quick!
Sophie - Lasagne is nice but chilli is the way to this gurl's heart.
KK - This chilli had beer in it!
Pah. Egg on toast and the Godzilla DVD that came free with the newspaper that got delivered by mistake.
I won't pretend that she was hugely impressed, but the Lidl ginger beer seemed to go down well.
