I’m such a sucker for good deals. I can’t help myself. I mean, why would I not take advantage of 2 for 1 deals?! It means I get to maintain my (expensive) social life and ‘me time’ and I get to take a friend along for absolutely no additional cost. And that means that she can take me next week with her too! It’s definitely a win-win situation here!! And I know we’d be super thrilled if we got it as a gift… so I thought I’d take some time to collate a few deals for your browsing pleasure, dear sirs, so that you can give the special girl in your life the perfect gift that she can enjoy with her best friend (or, in fact, with you!).

(1) 2 for 1 pampering at the luxurious Hillmotts Retreat. The Hillmotts is rather charming day spa located within 2000 acres of picturesque valley and farmlands. You walk through the natural location into a sophisticated and elegant day spa area and get pampered like a princess (or a prince) by some of the finest professionals in the business.

(2) 2 for 1 Marriott pamper day. The Marriotts are famous all around the world for being the most highly sought-after destinations in the leisure industry. They offer stellar accommodation and super facilities, and their pamper days are super indulgent too! If you’ve never had an opportunity to enjoy Marriott facilities before, this is the perfect chance to see what kind of facilities and service get the Marriott seal of approval.

(3) Marriott Leisure Day Pass. This one is also for the Marriotts and is valid for two people. You both get to use the top-rate facilities on-site (and some Marriotts even have saunas and jacuzzis) for the whole day. This is a nice deal for couples.

And that’s it! There are loads of other deals so I’ll post some up tomorrow for you all to enjoy (and spoil someone special this week!). Have a great day!

I went out for dinner last night with a girl from work and we spent hours and hours talking about everything under the sun! It was such a treat to make new friends who have such excellent taste (and who are heaps of fun as well!) so I owe today’s post entirely to my new friend and colleague Janet.

So what has dear Janet inspired me to write about? Her hen party! You see, she’s getting married next week and her best friend threw her the Hen Party to end all Hen Parties. It sounded like such a blast, I can’t believe I missed it! The bride’s maid got everyone together for a crazy dance-a-thon that was entirely FAME themed! Can you imagine?? Hundreds of people took to the streets all dressed up in their finest FAME gear and dance, dance, danced the day away! The girls are all perfectly coordinated and they are definitely going to “bust a move” on the big wedding day! They even got to be in a video:

How much fun! I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that Thriller dance…

Guys, trust me. If you’re looking to spoil a special lady in your life then there are two very powerful, very emotive and very convincing words that I need to share with you. Now listen carefully and take notes. Are you ready?

Afternoon Tea.

With brownies, scones, cake slices, sandwiches and don’t forget the clotted cream! Yumma! I know I promised to try and write posts about adrenaline adventures and sporting activities this week but I’m afraid the wintery traditions haven’t quite left! And this is all brought on by a delicious e-mail somebody special sent me inviting me to afternoon tea for two! I simply can’t wait!

The only down-side to our booking is that it is rather late in the afternoon, but that’s down to us booking two days before at one of the top destinations around! London County Hall Marriott, here I come! It shall just have to be a very late lunch (or an early dinner). Either way, I’m not complaining! And while I’m nattering away – have you seen the County Hall Marriott? It’s like a palace! I could get used to that kind of treatment.

I’m really looking forward to this! It’s going to be so indulgent that I’ll definitely have to hop into a kayak (read yesterday’s post to see what I’m talking about) and have a good row! So, guys out there, loyal readers and stumble-uponers, treat the special person in your life to an afternoon tea for two and set the mood for an indulgent bonding moment with luxuriously decadent tastes and treats. You’ll never look back.

I’ve booked my tickets and I’m all ready to go… I can hardly hold onto my horses

I’m taking full advantage of the Bank Holidays this weekend and tomorrow night is officially the first friday night of the weekend. That means I’m going to paint the town red! OR, in this case, possibly pink …

I’m going to see Grease! tomorrow night!

Hurrah!

I know, I know – who needs to see the same production twice? But if (like me) you’ve already seen this hit musical, you’ll know exactly why I’m keen to take on a second viewing. It was fabulous: the sets were amazing, the costumes were spectacular and the atmosphere in the theatre was electric! The actors had everyone up and singing like there was no tomorrow and we all left the theatre itself feeling completely elated

SO the point of my ramblings today? If you’re looking for a sure-fire way to spoil your wife with an amazing gift that she’s going to remember for years to come, treat her to front row seats at this memorable event. I’m going to share the good deal that I found with you … who knows, I might see you there tomorrow night! THIS deal gives you to tickets for £83.00. What’s so special about that, you ask? Well, that might seem like normal price to you, but what you don’t get with your ‘normal price’ tickets is a delicious meal from a top London restaurant! Being the deal-hunter that I am, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take out one of my friends that I haven’t seen in agggges. He has recently moved to the UK and it’s a fantastic opportunity to catch-up in style over a yummy dinner and then to sing the night away with a fun rendition of everyone’s favourite musical! Your wife will love this!

Treat your wife to an amazing evening this Valentine’s Day and give her a day she’ll never forget! Of course I’m a believer in spoiling your special lady at every given opportunity, and Valentine’s Day is just one of those days that you either go big or go home. You should spoil her rotten with fabulous treats to let her know that you’re completely committed to her and you absolutely adore her, no excuses

So with this in mind I’ve put together three of  my favourite Valentine’s Day gifts for you to consider this year…

Spoil your wife with a sensuous evening of salsa dancing that will delight her to no end! You don’t have to be the star of So You Think You Can Dance to wow your wife with your new moves… just enjoy a dance class for two and learn a few fancy techniques that you can practice on your own afterwards.

Another thing you might do is treat your wife to a fabulous dinner for two at a top restaurant so you can spoil her with delicious treats and a night to remember! Forget about your local restaurant or the curry house around the corner… this Valentine’s Day give fine dining at its best at one of the most talked about restaurants in town!

And finally – why not take her out for a chocolate indulgence second to none when you spoil her with a chocolate making course for two! This is a fab way to give her those traditional Valentine’s Day chocolate treats with a little twist: you’ll both learn all about the history of chocolate making and you’ll get to experience delicious cooking like no other! This is one of my personal favourites and I can guarantee you that it will be an amazing treat for any woman!
