Ok...

My wife & I agreed on a holiday desination and a rough time when to go to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary...

She just emailed me with the following dates followed by the love you lots and cant wait etc.....

However reading the email I came across this bit......

Leaving Gatwick at 3.20pm on Friday 19th May.

Play off final day :facepalm:

Now please help I have only a few hours before she will start hassling me with the if you loved me threats. I have not told her yet as I just double checked the dates for the final. Should I risk a ladies backlash of holy hell or bite the bullit and just risk it and go with the flow....


I just would wanna die if we got to the Play offs against someone like Southampton and won while im in the air knowing nothing until four hours later :eek:

Say you'll go so you're in the good books. If we do make the play-off final then you'll just have to re-assess the situation and submit a change request, perhaps draw up some kind of Service Level Agreement with a play-off get-out clause.

Or you could just think how lucky you are to have had a yummy wife for ten years and forego the play off which may not happen and hope that you going on a fantastic wedding anniversary holiday will keep her happy for another ten years!!!!

Sometimes it's easier to not rock the boat!!!!

I have never ever read such nonsense in my life on here :facepalm:

Leave it clear for the playoffs, if she loves you, she will forgive you. :)

Agree to go. Don't even bring up the play-offs. If we even make the play offs which I personally would not expect us to do then it's simple.

Three days before you go buy some chicken.

Then offer to cook.

Serve the chicken up raw for her but not for you.

She will probably get food poisoning. You won't. But she won't know.

If she does then you cancel the holiday. If she doesn't you claim to ahve it and insist she goes on the holiday and takes a mate. Either way you go to the play off final with her on holiday having the time of her life or shitting her guts out at home.

One flaw in your well thought out plan..... she is a vegetarian

My mate's daughter is getting married on the day of the Play-Off final.

Here's a thought. Go down to the bookies and ask for a price on Brighton being in the final. Place a bet that will cover the cost of the holiday. You can then book another holiday with the proceeds of the bet. Think of it as an Insurance policy.

Actually, place a larger bet so that you can have a better holiday.

Win/Win situation.

You have not been charged for this RELATE advice. :)

Best advice I've ever seen on NSC! The odds must be long enough to make it work?!

The lesson is to check before agreeing dates. I also screwed up and will miss the last week of the proper season, because I wanted an early break - BUT I will be back for the play-offs. I could have changed the dates, but decided marital bliss and the (possible) play-offs were more important!
