Ive taken the "i dont do code" approach to this one - when she says she "doesnt mind me going if i have too" ill take that as gospel.....

    I'm taking her passive aggression as consent.

    "No, fine. You go to the football. I don't mind. Honestly"

    "Okay dear. Thanks!"

    Me and my dad talked my Girlfriend and mum around at the same time. Bit of teamwork will get you there! And taking g/f out on the Wednesday instead

    Fortunately Mrs Redlane has a similar opinion of Valentine's as me - that it is overhyped, likely to lead to a mediocre dinner in an over-busy restaurant, and, more to the point, not especially romantic. One tip - buy the flowers etc a couple of days in advance and declare that you can show your love any day of the year, not when Clinton Cards dictates it.

    A 2nd strategy, also practiced here at Redlane Towers, involves conceiving twins born on Feb 14th - which tends to take the emphaisis away from Valentines. This, I'll grant you, can be quite tricky to organise

    Taking her out on the Monday instead plus I acted like I was gutted that we couldn't do something on the Tuesday night ("I've only just realised...really gutted, was looking forward to it....I know it isn't great, but maybe we could do something special on Monday instead ?") seemed to do the trick, although I'd imagine there will be moaning after the event and it'll probably get brought up in some un-related argument six month later.

    Charlton better win !

    She's coming along, having a nice lunch instead
  • Valentines Day. What a load of b-------s.

    I mean, for anyone who is married and celebrates a wedding anniversary (as I do) then why should you have to fork out on Valentines Day too? It's an utter commercial con job and should be reserved for U-21's and singles only.

    Of course, my missus was not happy when I brought this policy into being but FFS you have to draw the fiscal line somewhere!

  • I wont be escaping the missus... I will be in florence with her! If relationships are about give and take I think I have taken enough by booking up practically every away before the end of season to miss a home game against a poxy club!

    My wife goes to Italian classes on a Tuesday evening so it will be interesting to see what happens, will she remember?

    Yeah, meanwhile she no doubt told the class last night "I won't be here next week, I'm sure my husband's got plans for Valentine's"

    No chance for me unfortunately. It's Valentine's and my birthday so no chance for me to disappear for the evening. I'll be cooking her a meal. Going out on the lash the weekend after for my birthday...

    We don't take Valentines that seriously, so it's not a problem, I'm going to the game, and she's working late

    Ok love it's my birthday & it's Valentines, so I'll stay in and cook you a meal. Leave off !

    Charton are at home. That's where I'll be, end of.

    We can celebrate Valentine's & birthdays before or after.

    Just as well the players don't take the same attitude.

    Sorry fans, we're playing the youth team & The Doc tonight as all the 1st team have taken their other halves up The Oxo Tower :-)

  • the most excited my season ticket holding wife has been about valentines day for many a year.. (well plymouth at home a couple of years ago actually)...
  • Going for lunch, then that leaves the afternoon and evening for boozing and Charlton! (Also it's my 30th on the 12th so extended celebrations is an excuse being used)

    when she's putting her point across I intend to boo her and then when she accuses me of loving football more than her I will brand her a racist for trying to stop me from watching one of the only teams in all four divisions with a black manager.
