I married the right man
Last week, OH 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 is 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'r really excited.

I've seen both Richard Ashcroft and Muse - Muse are amazing, first time I saw them was in Wolverhampton Civic, small venue and Coldplay were their Support Band!! That's some time ago now though lol, saw Muse headline Glasto as well, they really do put on an excellent set, really bang it out it's fantastic. You'll love it

Will bring my map to our next meet and we can choose a suburb and get neighbouring townhouses (one for us and one for the OH's and kids)
. I've ordered a DVD too called Melbourne: 6 Degrees. Once it's arrived and I've watched it I'll send it on to you. Hopefully it'll be full of fit footballers for your teen

Hey Gill,
Why don't you ask your SIL to babysit and 4yo can educate her on the marsupials of Aus for when she comes to visit you in Melbourne!!!!!!
I'll look after the girls, depending if the concerts are before 18th September. No bother.
