is buy Grumpy a lot of beer, let him drink it - well maybe not all of it but a lot

and say

darling, we're working on Friday, it's my birthday on Thursday, why don't we go out the day before and then, when we finish work, go out for dinner? And I'll cook you a lovely dinner on Thursday (yes, I know it's my birthday, but I don't want hot-dogs and onions again )

Works every time

Chicken and chips on Wednesday and Friday

And also the following Friday, cos we're having to work late then too

Just a reminder, I was incapable of walking this time last year, having been a complete prat, so he "cooked" us hot-dogs and onions for out 30th wedding aniverary and also for my birthday

Hope you enjoy your meals out - and your birthday!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hot dogs and onions - that man is sooo adventurous...... and brave

Mind, it takes a woman to plan these things.

I have to "plan" him WM - he's not good at planning

And we can't go out on Thursday, as "our" restaurant is shut - it's their day off.
