Fail proof date night (Groupon Australia Voucher Giveaway)

Thrilled! Thrilled to bits, I am!
Mr Surfer and I aim for one date night per month. Which, in the grand scheme of twin toddler wrangling, aren’t such bad odds.
But if you’re going to talk about the quality of an evening, well, that’s a different story.
You know how it is. We got lost in the rarity of such a happy occasions, something inevitably either goes wrong or doesn’t scratch up to our high, much anticipated expectations.
At this unpredictable, crazy stage of parenting, date nights need to be fail proofed. (Anyone remember our “Life of Pi” fiasco?)
For my Nigella No Friends birthday dinner last year, my thoughtful husband took me to “Blancharu” – a swish, One Chef’s Hat Japanese-French fusion restaurant out in hip Elizabeth Bay.
Walking in, it felt like stepping into one of my old stomping grounds in party central Tokyo.
It was one of those unforgettably delectable evenings when for a split second, I was transformed into a normal person who knew how to put on a pretty dress, put on some make up and eat with a knife and fork.
A delicious 5 degustation course and some crispy white wine to boot.
Civilized, much?
So imagine my joy and elation when I discovered a Groupon Australia special, offering the same 5 course meal at the very restaurant for only $69 for two!
With a bit of planning and begging Grandma to come and baby sit, we’re all set for our fail proof date night tomorrow! Squeee!
Same time same channel to find out how the outing goes!

I really want to go to a hatted restaurant one day.
Aw, no Hobart offers. I had a feeling they didn’t, but I went and checked.

I want to do off road rally car driving, though I’d settle for go-karting as my partner hasn’t done it yet…too much fun!! I’m a big groupon fan, and am off for a 9 course chinese banquet using one I got for my birthday today!

I have everything crossed that this date night IS fail proof and goes much better than the Life of Pi one! xo

I love the idea of groupon and I always read the emails but the one time I did buy something (a foot scrub for my mum at Christmas) I never got the code through and have no idea where to look to get my money back. I think I am a one off as I have head only great things about this guys but its really put me off

I couldn’t see the website because it gave me a sign up pop up and I didn’t want to sign up!
I’d be happy to go pretty much anywhere!

I would spend my voucher on a photo book. My mum and I have taken three overseas holidays together and I would love to create a photo book of our trips for her birthday.
