So, we all sat at the planning meeting and came up with dates for the planned events and you may remember that I said that the planned date for the London Tour was, in fact, the wife’s birthday. Very nice I thought; that will make a nice evening out for us - Mrs 5UMO even suggested a rather nice burger bar on the A13 to make the birthday treat that little bit extra special!!!
Well, what I failed to remember was that this is no ordinary birthday and in fact it is Mrs vin rouge’s **th. I am far too much of a gentleman to disclose her age but I will just say that as a thirtysomething year old it will be her next milestone and I fear a burger on the A13 just will not do!
I was wandering if it would be at all possible to defer this event by a week to the 4th July? The only trouble is that when she sees this she will know I haven’t booked the 3 week holiday in the Maldives that she has asked for!
your looking for something special " we know " vin rouge so how about ,say, a couple bonding day, a cornflak breakfast, then a full car cleaning day, finished with a delivered take-a-way, or one of those M & S £10 meals for two,
if the above works, let us all know for future ref, thats if your still alive mate [:D]
I know of a lovely hotel in knightsbridge, why don't you just book a double room ,a nice meal with wine and breakfast served in your room on sunday, " birthday sorted " I'm sure Paula won't mind.
