    Mine involved doing nothing apart from having a smug conversation with the gf about how we don't need to make conspicuous displays of affection on a particular contrived day to let it be known we're keen on one another.

    In reality, it's just us covering up for the fact neither of us CBA.

    Which is where I confidently thought we were until Sunday, when it was none-too-subtly pointed out that a card would be the least that I should do. Gutted. All this time, and now I'm also in the queue at Morrisons at 10 to 10 on the night before with a load of other blokes who've also been reminded of their duties. Three quid as well. Three quid!!!!! What's going on? Bloody over-commercialised nonsense. Grumble mutter...

    Well I got away with it. We gave each other a card and had a takeaway curry. Which was sorely needed as yesterday's pre commute turbo and failure to eat a proper brekkie left me utterly fecked on the ride home.

    Cheeky lunch @ Hotel Du Vin - booked her a day off work and made it a big surprise.

    **the surprise did not quite come off as planned as I had to tell her about my special news (offered a job in Toronto) before we went....Queue crying in the car on the way there..

    my surprise present of two Whitney Houston in concert tickets was a bit of a let-down.

    Eh? There was a line of people crying in your car?
    Seriously now, well done. It's meant to be really hard to get into Canada now. Toronto, are you all going? Tears of joy? You do need to tell us more about this.

    Oh. my. days. I cannot stop smiling, literally (and I mean literally).

    I truly did not deserve yesterday. I love my life, I love my wife to be. I love being me.

    So, I get home the lights are off and my flat is only illuminated with the sweet and gentle flickering of candle light in the living room. Ms DDD greets me at the stairs and then opens the door of the bathroom where a hot bath is waiting. I take a dip and am served a wine with pomegranate juice while I soak and relax.

    Once sufficiently wrinkly I'm taken to the living room where our sofa bed has been set up (Lucas is sleeping in our bedroom see... :wink: ) and I'm given a most splendid massage... eyebrows.gif

    A homemade dinner follows:

    Starter: Coquille st jaques and a heart shaped fish&prawn fish cake (that was to die for)
    Main: Ribs, ribs ribs
    Dessert: Bread and butter pudding with baileys cream

    Alcohol throughout and eventually, completely spent, I drift gently into a deep trace like sleep only to wake with a smile as wide as the Joker (from Batman, Greg).

    Bom chika wah wah!

    Lordy, my English has gone to the dogs...Cue!

    Cue more coffee....

    Tears of joy - lady gtvlusso has been crying out for a change of lifestyle and it looks like the ship is in the dock! All I need to do is avoid the current restructuring, avoid the *new* job being restructured et voila we move to Canada

    So, not an ace in the hole, but damn close.

    In other news:

    *at least that is what I think we agreed."

    You are so f*cked.....even if you think you are not f*cked, you will be completely f*cked at a later date - they remember everything......

    Sorry, don't know what you're on about. Lalalalala... I didn't see anything. I may have removed by brain, given it a quick scrub then replaced it.
    In 13 years time, there'll be a surly teenage son sitting on the couch watching TV and not getting the subtle hints to go and watch the telly upstairs. Said son may then get the hump when told in no uncertain terms to go to his room and read so I can have a bit of time with the Mrs. Ooops, may have given the game away that I know what you mean.

    Yes, I know what you mean. An eleven-year-old boy may have objected to me calling him a fop-haired gooseberry last night, but he eventually buggered off.

    What really!? I had a bath, massage and dinner. And THAT was too much information. You are aware of what I had to do to conceive my child right?

    I do, even though to summarise, DDD got home home, had a bath followed by a quick rub-down then conked out asleep on the settee watching the news.

    Maybe your subconcious is screaming out for you to live a role-play fantasy. Just saying....

    The rest of the office is wondering why I'm giggling like a lunatic when I should be working. I can't tell them.

    Sheesh! Mr Sensitive.

    Dude, I'm very happy that you had a lovely evening. It's just... well, some people are more private than you is all.

    Anyway, I'm counting last night as a win too: didn't get puked on once and got to sleep all the way from 12.55am to 7.15am uninterupted. Oh, and Mrs RJS and the older littl'un made me a cake.

    And you act like that's not something that married couples do once the sprogs have been begat. Don't tell me no-one else sleeps in jim-jams with slots to do the deed through?

    :wink: Just in case.

    Corrected.

    No, no-one else (normal) does.

    Apart from old people. And then they have buttons and collars.
