Even in the tough times......

we should always make a big effort to spend time with the people that mean the most to us in our lives. The people that support you when the going gets tough, those people that love you unconditionally......

One idea that I have used with my partner is to create a date box.....this has given us a source of fun, memories and excitement each week to look forward to. The premise is simple and is a fantastic way to make sure you do something with your girlfriend/boyfriend, family, friends or by yourself.

Now this is where I go all Blue Peter on you.....firstly get yourself a medium size box (a shoe box will be excellent). Then decorate the box as you see fit (we have put gold wrapping paper round ours). Then label the box....i.e. Cath and Dave's date box or the Davies Family Box of Fun!...or something along those lines.

Then get as many pieces of paper as you like and each person writes as many activities as they can and puts them in the box. They can be simple things like going for a country walk, going to the pub for a drink or as different as going to the Museum of Science and Industry or going Salsa dancing.

Take it in turns to pick an idea out of the box and make sure you stick to them. Make them fun and remember the reason you are doing it.......

In a world where it is very easy to suffer from the doom and gloom disease, make your life and the life of your significant others a better place to be by making it different and fun together....

Happy date box making.......
