    Slight variation on the massage session... why not see if there are any local courses that you can both enrol in and learn how to give each other proper massages... bit more personal than getting a stranger to do it and it'll be something that you'll never forget how to do so can use again and again on each other.

    What sort of simple things does she like doing that you could incorporate to make it special? For example, when I was a kid I loved going to feed the ducks, so one year for my birthday my boyfriend took me for a picnic on the land of a big country house type place and afterwards we wandered down to the lake where there were loads of ducks that I could feed... really simple but it proved that he actually listened to what I said (even if I thought he didn't lol)

    I don't know which part of the country you are in or what your budget is but you could take her on a "holiday" to somewhere within the UK (cheaper than abroad) but where she's never been. Maybe Cornwall or somewhere lovely. Check into a decent low budget hotel like premier lodge (bargain like mad on the rate - you'll be surprised what you could get).

    Then, this is the good bit - have a florist deliver two dozen red roses to the room just before you arrive, with a poem attached from you (possibly copied from a card as suggested previously).

    Then, (if you do have intentions of spending the rest of your life with her) get down on one knee and - propose!

    Of course you could leave out the proposing bit if you're not up for that.
    The reason people don't move right down inside the carriage is that there's nothing to hold onto when you're in the middle.
