Special evening with the wife

The kids are being babysat overnight on saturday night, and with the house to ourselves, the wife said "I will leave the planning up to you"

So, is a Messier Marathon too much to bite off at this time of year??

Maybe Striker has some tips in this situation????

What ever you do...make sure she has a horrible time.....if she likes it she will want this quality time together to happen more on a regular basis......knock this one on the head before it gets out of hand.....lol

Good luck.

If you want I can send you my book called "how to manipulate your wife" it may come in handy.

I'm having my special evening tonight......I've nearly spent the money I will earn next week in my new job...there must be something else I can buy, surely!!

Micki's special evening will come next week after she collects the packages from the PO while I'm at work.

Ah yes! I can see it now....As she lights the nice candles & commences to slap my across the ears with the packages....

Dave, I suggest you put on the Zorro suit and do a few leaps off the bedroom wardrobe...

Davo, grab your darling wife, a blanket, a picnic basket, and go for a nice slow drive down some quiet country road out to a very private spot.
Pull up, lay out the blanket, place the picnic basket in the middle, lay out some snacks, pour a drink, and as you go pull the scope out of the car just say "help yourself to the food & drink sweety, you are gonna love Saturn!".

But dont tie the wife to the bed. I read in the newspaper some years back
in Christchurch , NZ. A couple having the night free of kids. decided on a lil
roll playing, the wife (tied to the bed and gagged) the husband dressed up
as Super Man!. Trying to leap off the wardrobe to save his wife. He made
quite a noise, that a neighbour thought someone was breaking into the place
and rang the cops. The cops came, knocked on the door, no answer but they
apparently could hear some movement inside. So they break down the door.
To find wife starkers and still tied to the bed and gagged. And the husband
out cold lying on the floor in his Super Man outfit.

have a wonderful night!!

regards,CS

as soon as my wife mentioned that we had the night off, i said, "well i better jump on IIS and ask the boys what I should do?"

we both had a great giggle reading the replies after i explained what messier is!!

sorry blokes, have to sit on the fence with this one (ladies, disregard that last comment)
