Perfect Night In

So my blog being all about ranting and the inane and insane stresses of being a mum I felt more than a little challenged when my friend emailed me a link to a company called Two Little Fleas.  They are asking for bloggers to write what would be involved in their prefect night in. Ranting its not, day dreaming it most certainly is!!
Now you know me, more than a little time in my day to day existence is spent wishing I was doing something else/with someone else/with less annoyances!  So ok here goes......my perfect night in.

Our back garden strung with fairy lights...similar to this



I would like to create a sort of hideaway fairy secret garden.  The tables and chairs could be decorated with dragonflys/butterflies and all things fairy like and maybe the chairs would be wrought iron or large mushrooms (wooden obvs!).
The whole thing would be catered by someone so I would have nothing to prepare or wash up!....with garlic mushrooms to start...I love mushrooms!!



I think we would then have slow braised beef and summer vegetables with creamy mash.  MMMMmmmmmm its making me hungry just thinking about it.  Dessert would be little petit fours including mini banoffee cup cakes and meringues with strawberries and cream.  All of this would of course be accompanied by a great deal of pink fizz!



I would get dressed up to the nines and expect everyone else to dress as if they were going on a massive night out!  I would probably wear this

or this

or maybe this

Either way it would be SCHMAZING as Nicole (Scherzinger ) would say!  I would get the kids dressed up and maybe even make the hubby wear a suit!  We would then decamp to the enchanted forest (aka back garden complete with wooden fort - I know, I know!) and spend a night wining and dining our loved ones (and anyone else we can rope in).  We would probably let our families come (depending on behaviour that day), our children (their bedroom looks out over the garden so probably a bit unfair to make them watch and not let them join in), and of course our best friends.  So that would make for around twenty guests.
I would hire a live band (no use having a dead one boom boom) and set up a makeshift dance floor in the corner of the garden.  I would then let the good times roll (or bounce in the adult friendly bouncy castle I had hired) and send up small prayers of thanks to Two Little Fleas!!
