Girls' Night Out . . .

I’m off out soon on a ‘Girls’ Night Out’. Not some drunken night of excess but just a chance to enjoy some ‘girl talk’ in the company of other women; enjoy a meal and a glass of wine.

I think that no matter how happily married we are, we all need a little time away from being 'a couple’ occasionally. It’s good to have some time to be ‘me’ not just someone’s wife or mother. Tonight we’ll be just four of us wives from our Team of Our Lady. Coincidentally, our husbands had their ‘Men’s Curry Evening’ last night (‘sauce for the goose . . . etc.).

We’ve been trying to do this once a month for many years now although we have to miss a month now and again as our diaries our so busy. Busy being busy – it’s one of the problems we have with life nowadays which gives us another reason why these evening are so beneficial.
