What can OH and I do on nights in?

and keep it clean!

OH and I have date night once a week to ensure we don't let life overtake us and never see each other.

After 11 years of marriage, we're bored! Our kids mean 3 in 4 date nights take place at home 3 in 4.

We curently watch DVDs, play board (bored) games, cook for each other, watch more DVDs. We try to keep the computer off as this is the major thing we both spend our lives on.

Looking for inspiration please. Cheap ideas of fun nights for 2.

    Why does it have to be clean?

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."

    you could take turns at being the celebrity chef and one very very favoured client!
    bath night was popular at my house when the kids were at grandmas for sleepover
    but the best one was - massage parlour night!!!

    for the first suggestion should i have mentioned chocolate spread?

    baths taken together to save water?

    massage is good for the soul? not to mention the muscles and the linen ? what linen? never got further than the sheepskin rug in front of fire!!!

    Use a condom, that will keep the mess to a minimum.
