I’ve got a smashing weekend to look forward to.
Not only are we’re going to have people come over next week for a meal, I’ve now been informed that we’re going to go downtown tomorrow to look for new “art work’ [pictures] for the living room as we have to replace my Darren Anderton, signed and framed, Tottenham shirt. Apparently it doesn’t provide the place with the right tone anymore. I don’t like shopping at the best of times and it does rather put a spanner in my plans to do naff all tomorrow.

On Sunday some vindictive bastard has invited us to a Super bowl party, which I’m not looking forward to, as hate American football and the last time I went to one, a long time ago, it didn’t go well. I suppose I just take some booze and hope they've got chicken wings. So all in all that’s my weekend buggered.

Anyone else got any plans?

I really love your posts.

I am going to a housewarming party tomorrow afternoon after I pick up hubby from the airport as he has been in London all week (bastard! lol)

After that I have no idea just go with the flow.

Mmmm local union meeting tonight (excuse to go out drinking with the boys)
Sat morning watch the barcodes play the rent boys then Fulham v Man Utd.
Afternoon shop for a new laptop but not buying one immediately.
Take OH out as she wants pizza sit down not delivery.
Catch up on Corrie St.
Sunday havent decided though City play the scousers.

I will swap my housework, laundry and grocery shop with your weekend oink!

flying on saturday morning
laundry on sunday morning

probably need to get some studying in at some point as well.
May go totally wild on Saturday night and have a glass of wine.

well aren't you the bundle of joy

HID’s idea of shopping is like doing a triathlon, there’s no stopping off for a cheeky pint and you have to keep going and going until you find the right thing. Which is going to be hard on this occasion as she’s much more sophisticated and cultured than me but will insist that I have an opinion and just agreeing with her choice, doesn’t apparently satisfy. The whole thing’s a recipe for disaster and to be honest I’m intending to employ some delaying tactics tomorrow morning although she’s wised up to most of them.

You should get your retaliation in first and invite them round to watch the rugby on Saturday. You could do that before shopping.

Have you considered faking your own death?

When you come to take down Darren Anderton's shirt chances are that you'll somehow get vicariously injured, so if you do that on Saturday morning, you'll be able to spend the rest of the weekend on the sofa with your leg safely up in plaster.

Sorted.

All brilliant suggestions but sadly none will work. On the bright side I'm planning to have kippers for breakfast.

Saturday watch England v Scotland. Saturday night - wine.
Sunday avoid Super Bowl like the plague, wine.

My plans involve going out at an early hour tomorrow morning with the kids to see whether Shubenacadie Sam (The local groundhog) sees its shadow........ makes me want to sing 'I Got you Babe'

and

Hosting a Superbowl party at my house on Sunday for some mates from work there will be a mixture of classic foods that down the years have become compulsory for such a party including unbelievably hot and spicy chicken wings, Chilli con Carne, Chicken Jalfrezi and a selection of decent european beers and lagers.

My OH might have to do some work on Sat, so I might as well work too.
Sunday it's Davis Cup.

And it's NEVER what she went out to shop for in the first place. Drives me nuts.

Delaying tactics are no good. By now you should have perfected the technique of pissing her off so effectively that she suggests you go to he pub and wait for her.
