Working Years Late Teens Early Twenties
Before and after marriage, that time when you treated yourself regularly to a meal out, went onto the movies or took in a live show, a ballet or musical what a treat! Dressed up to the nines in the latest gear, swanned into a restaurant for a candlelit evening talking about what could or should happen going into your future. Not too worried it all looked good.
Suggestion number one! Go out, take the night off cooking, enjoy good company if/when you marry and have children you may not see these days in a hurry again....

Twenties, Thirties and Forties
As the years move on, you look again with a house mortgage, two children, very little in the piggy bank to take you too far for too long. Working a full day with two little ones to care for, it is crazy but parents tend to put their lives on hold, no way. Pack the car for a treat, night out at the drive-in, yeah baby remember those!

Two and four year old's on the back seat, drive-in always had fast food outlet that was not overly expensive, remember to cover the backseat with a blanket this is more a picnic than a dinner date, now have in a foggy memory of a couple of years ago.
Expect children to clamber over from the back seat hit the speaker out the window, expect chicken pieces becoming airborne, expect the toilet call in the middle of a movie, heck they are boys after all.
Suggestion number two! Get out of the house, take the children with if you can't get a babysiter, it is always a night out to remember!

Fifties and Sixties - You Are Still Young....
You loved date nights when you had cash to splash going out, suddenly realized during late twenties early thirties you have children to consider/survive, what happens doesn't end there. After twenty plus years of children growing up, you no longer go on date nights.
Lost the secret, lost the plot, no not quite yet, still more to come.
Going on annual holiday, always treat yourself to a night out! Maybe someone has forgotten.... you still need a night out, plan it, never let yourself down! Tomorrow is another day, don't wait.... do it, before you no longer trust driving nor always caring about everyone else.
Suggestion number three! Night out no longer happening when home, plan around holidays to enjoy someone else's cooking, if you don't go away on holidays buy a pie and eat it on a park bench!
