Last week, Mike forwarded an email home from work about 2 gigs in Glasgow this November (Muse and Richard Ashcroft). That night he said "we haven't been to a gig in ages, fancy going to one of these". It is his birthday in 2 weeks so I immediately thought "great bday idea" so I said "we really can't afford it, let's just leave it". Then, the next day, promptly went online and booked 2 tickets for Muse for him.
On the phone last night, I was winding him up saying I'd ordered his birthday present and he said, so had he. OMG I thought, my birthday's not for a good while yet, I wonder if he's done the same thing? And what if we've both bought tickets for the same concert? We decided to come clean and it turns out he bought Richard Ashcroft tickets for me as although he prefers Muse, he knows I love RA!!
OMG, now we need to find babysitters twice in one month for the 2 concerts. Haven't been to a concert since before 4yo was born so we're really excited
