Some of you may recall my dilemma pre semi final wherein my lovely wife had booked a long suprise weekend for us (us & boy age 4) on my birthday - may 17! Well, turned out to be a cottage in North Yorkshire not London as hoped; so what to do...well to her great credit the missus has insisted that I go to the final for the day, seems I can get a train from Northallerton & get 9pm train back. Result! marriage & sex life intact...
I was nearly in your situation. If it wasn't for a huge **** up from me assuming the league finished the bank holiday weekend, she'd have booked us to Spain for our birthdays the final weekend. And I've since told her she'd be going on her bloody own if it had turned out that way, and she would. I wouldn't miss the final for a poxy holiday and a bit of jungle rumbling, can have them any time after the week it takes her to get over it, cup finals come around once every 110 years. It's a no brainer.
Well all's well that ends well, sounds like the sort of wife I could do with.. Though I did go to the semi final, and will be going to the final, so cannot complain too much.
