With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it got us thinking about romance.
Smooches, Lady and Tramp’s spag bol, rose petals – yes, yes we’re rolling out the clichés!
But whether you go in for Valentine’s Day – or think it’s a load of marketing codswallop – the idea of the romantic date isn’t going anywhere.
We need that time to connect, to talk, to wear high heels for the first time in six months.
So are YOU due a romantic date? Here are the crucial signs that you need to pick up the phone STAT and make a restaurant reservation:
1. The most done up your other half has seen you in the last six months is when you were wearing your best fleece PJs, your hair in a messy top-knot and toothpaste on your chin spots.
2. You forget what it’s like to eat dinner in a restaurant that doesn’t have baby seats everywhere – oh and colouring pages and crayons on the table.
3. Your partner has started to call you ‘Mummy’.
4. You forget the last time you had a conversation with your partner that didn’t involve DIY, children or car maintenance.
5. You bought a new dress to wear ‘the next time you go somewhere nice’. That was two years ago.
6. The last time you tenderly touched your partner’s face was two months ago, and that was only to wipe off some pasta sauce.
7. You came dangerously close to attempting to blow your husband’s nose.
8. Every single movie you have watched together in the last six months was animated.
9. You can’t remember the last time you were at a party that didn’t have a bouncy castle and a clown.
10. You haven’t shaved your legs in forever – nor do you plan to.
Can you relate mums? Are YOU long overdue a date night?!
