Help! 8th wedding anniversary tomorrow , what to do ? no money :(

iluvfreebies

personally i would be happy with a nice wee cup of tea and being made to feel special - thats more important than expensive gifts in my opinion - We always just make sure we spend our anniversary together and perhaps go to the cinema or watch a dvd etc.

Multi storey..I hope you are joking? Or you may find yourself being thrown off the top of it by your beloved :rotfl:

How about a book of vouchers with one to be used each month i.e. a massage, a meal at a specific restaurant, a romantic walk and picnic etc...

That way, it won't cost you anything NOW, but you can spread the cost of the various voucher costs throughout the year.

Of course, this anniversary was not known about beforehand and just sprung upon him at the 11th hour.

It beggars belief, it truly does.

I like the vouchers idea, breakfast in bed - toast and tea will do fine - maybe pick a flower for the tray?

weather permitting, walk somwhere - little picnic - made with things u already have in.

Candle lit bath, soft music.

Candle lit dinner.

just lots of effort - costs nothing - means a lot.

I got an old box and filled it with 100 little pieces of paper, each one had a different reason why I loved him. He loved it, sat in bed reading each one out to me individually (like I didn't know what I had written). I think running a nice bubble bath with candles sounds lovely too

It's amazing how many OHs don't realise that birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas are quite predictable and can be planned for in advance!

Absolutely, I did the voucher idea taken from ideas on this forum, my OH once gave me a card with cut offs at the bottom that I cut off for each month 'for a dinner with me':DI have done the little love notes with red paper for Valentines, copied some love poems off the internet, used lovely font and printed them off, made home made cards, taken some photos and added them.

Get your best tableware out and sit her down, candles, flowers from the garden, a napkin over your arm and wait on her hand and foot, dress up for it, go to the library and get her fav book.
