I will have to do this for our upcoming anniversary - we hopefully have the dinner for free (we won) but we won't stay at the place (way overpriced) ... thanks for sharing this idea.

Just practical! LOL. We went away for our 10th wedding anniversary (was just before we hit our 11th but we won't worry about that for now lol), anyway, we had the top suite, dozen red roses, jewellery, nice night out....definitely WASN'T frugal. But was VERY nice!!!!! :-) Mary - my DH talks about going fishing more than he actually does it. :-) Hope you enjoyed the time to yourself. Lucky1 - that is rather clever!!!! :-) Glad you were able to share. Frogdancer - there is a blue singlet, akubra wearing man waiting just around the corner for you!!!!! LOLOL. Bit of a warning though - think I got the best one. ;-) And they're not ALL romantic. Mine has taken about 12 years to "train". ;-) Ali - he's a gem isn't he. :-) Lis - I find it kind of strange to be home without kids. So it was nice to have him around. It's funny how when you usually have 3 kids, 1 just seems way too easy to care for. HisPrincess - I know you've already left but I hope you have a nice time. :-) Yeah, not all farmboys are hopeless on the romantic stuff. Mind you, mine learnt a lesson from one we both know who did NOTHING for his 10th wedding anniversary even though his wife went on and ON about it for months leading up to it!!!! ;-) Give you 1 guess who that was. :-) jeanie - I'm so pleased to hear how rapt you are with your own fellow. :-) It's refreshing to hear in this day and age. tiff - it does happen like that doesn't it? Sorry to hear you don't get much help or support. River - your comments always make me smile. Thank you. :-) Kin - the funny things is, farmboy wasn’t actually TRYING to be frugal. Just practical!

My husband would not even think to cook dinner for me, like that, never. Don't get me wrong, he cooks, just en mass. Besides that, no one would offer to take our seven children so we could have time together. It seems the more kids you have the less help you get. Glad that you had a wonderful night/morning. Every woman and Mummy deserves some precious ME time *SIGH* Quite jealous. My husband would not even think to cook dinner for me, like that, never. Don’t get me wrong, he cooks, just en mass.

I think I might still make a few well meaning suggestions to my farmboy though, although we don't have a spa.....do you rent yours out? Just kidding! Sounds like you've had a fabulous Christmas! I'm about to have my time at the shack so I hope I can come back feeling as refreshed as you sound! I think farmboys are just born innovative!
