Cinema date night

Last night hubs and I saw We're the Millers at a preview screening in Leicester Square. We had a little time to kill beforehand so made like tourists and checked out the M&M store, which  although I only work 5 mins away from, I'd never been to. It was so truly terrible it was good, though really really busy and completely overpriced. On the walls were rainbows of pick n mix M&Ms which were pretty, but the amount of additional merchandise was astounding. I bought a small bag of pick n mix and we fought our way out of the crowds and into Leicester Sq.
 
T had won tickets on Twitter to the screening and we got a free drink and popcorn. As an unannounced bonus the director came in and talked for a few minutes about making the film, that he'd just flown into the UK for tomorrow's premiere and that one of his favourite actors from the film, Will Poulter, is a Brit.
 
It was hilarious, similar comedy to Dodgeball (same director) and the perfect start to our Tuesday night date nights. It was like we were students again except in this comedy about a fake family we got all the in-house jokes about parenting. Jennifer Anniston shone in her bad girl role as Rose and Will Poulter was truly brilliant, particularly in the spider bite and Waterfalls scenes.

Date night

One unforseen bonus of moving closer to the in-laws is that C's grandparents have offered to collect C from nursery on a Tuesday and have him overnight so they can look after him on a Weds without us having to drop him off in the morning. It's super nice and means T and I have a whole evening to ourselves.

Not only that but with my office move and T's new job, we both work in central London, so can have Tuesday night date nights in town! Something that hasn't happened since 2005 when I was a bookseller on Oxford St and T was an office admin near Bedford Sq.

I'm looking to make the most of this free time and to do something nice at least once a month. T has already won cinema tickets to a private screening in Leicester Square, so date night is getting off to a good start!
