Re: Things to do as a couple

Question:
 

Hi all, a question for us to do...

In order to get some 'couple time'  we've farmed the kids out for holiday sleepover, and we are going to spend a night for

us. We've decided we want to go out and actually have a 'date', not just stay home for yet another quite night in.

Problem is - what are we going to do without spending much money? Don't have the money for dinner and the movies are resonably expensive too, and I just can't think of anything else to do!

Any ideas for a nice night out on a budget of about $20? We need to get out of the house! Please help me before I go insane!

My Advice:

 

A night for just mum and dad can be a good idea to find each other again. If you find that you need to get out of the house because the wall are getting closer it might be a good idea for you to do something like this more often.

To most people it might seem ludicrus to try and have a night out for around $20 but i's not how much you spend but more who you spend the time with.

Many couples will wake up eat, work a bit, eat, work some more, eat, watch TV then go to be to start all over again so I think it is great that anyone would think to break a cycle like that.............No wonder we get depressed and the like.

Well I consider myself to be somewhat of a King of tight arses so I will try my best for you.

Walk if close enough to the beach and stroll hand in hand down the beach (I really need to look into getting a 4WD wheelchair for my wife) and if it is warm enough you could even have some fun in the surf. Once you have worked up an appetite off to the local fish n chips shop or even favourite fast food joint then find a patch of grass to eat. And if you like you might be able to afford a Cheep bottle of wine (Shhhh). Window shoping can follow such with an icecream on the way home if you didnt want wine.

You could always have a slap up feed at home then grab some grog and head off to a friends, make sure you sit close to each other and make sure you kiss and cuddle often through the evening. Sleep there or walk home but an early morning walk can be quite romantic.

Museums or art galleries can be an interesting thing even if you think you dont like that sort of thing and entry to some are free of quite cheep and you could see a few in a day in a city by using public transport.

Driving to a spot overlooking the town/city at night looking down at the lights and pretending you are teenagers all over again can be interesting. Make sure the handbrake is on.

Have you ever gone for a walk in the city and just looked at the shops and sights then into a pub for a drink and a game of pool then come out to share one of hotdogs from the mobile stalls. When I say share I meen both bite an end at the same time. Then there is enough left to hire a movie and share an icecream on the way home.

Picnics are a good idea also but one of my favourite ones without even going anywhere is either on your own or invite some friends have a bbq and a tent sleep over. Somewhere that you can have a fire is always best as it is if someone can play a musical instrument so you can all have a sing along.

Ideas are endless, it just depends on what is your thing and how active you want to be.

Things like roller blading down the park or playing some other sport together can be a laugh.

So whatever you decide to do have fun and please let us know what you did and how much it ended up costing.

Kindest Regards
