I wanted it to be special anyway obviously but since we are going through a rough patch I wanted to make it extra nice ya know?The only problem is we both literally just have no money at the moment. It's the middle of winter here so we cant exactly go for a romantic walk or anything as it's freezing and horrible weather outside. Everything I think of either involves money or is outside! Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 I would suggest getting cozy inside and watching several of your favorite movies! That provides time to cuddle and just be with each other.

 Free, indoor activities... hmm...
You can play a game and somehow make it sexy. Me and my fella play cards and make bets - like, if I win, he has to strip to the music of my choice and give me a massage. That's always silly, sexy and totally fun!
You could make a slide show or a photo album of all your favorite times together, then spend the day taking new pictures to add to it.
Sign up for a Netflix trial (free and extremely easy to cancel... they don't trick you into a membership or anything) and watch movies! They have Watch Instantly, so you can get movies or TV right to your computer.
Snuggling - always free.
Make a challenge - one of you has to create appetizers and desserts from whatever is in your fridge, one of you have to create dinner.
Draw each others portraits - even better/funnier if you have no artistic talent.
Do you have a tent? You could set it up in the back yard and brave the horrible weather! Crazy, but fun.
Any free museums or concerts around? Check out your paper and see whats free!
Remember - the goal is basically to make a memory, and some of the best memories are free! Have fun, sweet thing!

I made my boyfriend a scrapbook of some of our amazing memories (photos, tickets, magazine cuttings etc) and in it I wrote on each page why I love him and what I love about him. It cost virtually nothing but meant a lot. Could you throw a surprise party? Everyone brings some food and some booze - that way the cost is shared and you can celebrate your relationship with other people? Look up 'free' events in your area and see what comes up - sometimes there are music events that cost very little for example or you could visit a gallery etc? Hope this helps - you need to get creative!!!!
