Valentine's Day Date Night - #ShareTheLove With M&S!

Friday 14 February 2014

Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there! For today's post I thought I'd let you in on my plans for a romantic night in with my fiancé (or feyoncé as I prefer to spell it, seems a bit more modern!). My man Tim has worked hard all week in quite horrendous weather conditions so I know he'll really appreciate a cosy meal for two tonight. Marks & Spencer, the absolute darlings that they are, sent me some goodies to really set the mood, what do you think of my table? You'd be hard pressed to find us eating at the table on any normal night, never mind eating at a table with candles, so these trimmings will really make it feel special!



Roses, candles/candlesticks, glasses, Cava, choclates and trinket all c/o M&S.

The M&S £20 Gourmet Dine In For Two was the only choice for a romantic meal because Tara and I always turn to M&S Food for anything special! There was so much to choose from in my local store, but my menu is:

Starter
Tomato & Camembert Tarts - YUM.
Side
Potatoes, Tomatoes & Mozzarella Bake - We can't resist M&S's little cubed potatoes and these are smothered in cheese and tomato!

 Main
Chicken In Parma Ham - Tim is a chicken addict so this is the perfect choice!


Dessert
Posh Profiteroles - And by 'posh', we're talking salted caramel and gold stars, too pretty to eat but I'm going to give it a shot ;)

Wine
Cava El Padruall Rosado - Or 'fizzy pink stuff' as it will be known for the night ;)


I also have this adorable little Message In A Bottle gift. It comes with 2 scrolls, and I'm going to ask Tim to write down his hopes for our future in one and I'll do the same then we'll swap and see if we're destined to be together! Being a boy, his will probably say something like 'We'd like a new Volkswagon next year', and mine will be gushing about marriage and growing old, either way it will be fun! ;)



I was also gifted a gorgeous Limited Collection Rose Print Chiffon Camisole & Shorts Set, and the cami vest is so pretty I'm considering wearing it tonight as outerwear with a skirt or jeans! After the yummy meal, we'll probably settle down to watch a movie (ladies choice of course, so he can totally expect Crazy Stupid Love!) which is the perfect time to burn my new scented candle for extra coziness.

I'm really looking forward to prepping all this later and getting a bit glammed up for our date night in! I much prefer staying in and snuggling up on Valentine's Day these days, and with plans like these who needs a fancy restaurant and a cinema full of strangers?! 

I hope you all have a great day, whether you're in love or totally free and single, let's all #sharethelove! Right, I'm off to err, pre-heat the oven and chill the wine ;)

J - Hearts and flowers!
