live game and mothers day

[GrandStokie]

tricky one this, im under orders this year to book a table and take the wife and kids out for a meal on Sunday. Ive booked a table, she's happy with the fact that I'll miss the game anyone else in the same boat?

however, what she doesnt know is the table Ive booked is at a sports bar ;D

[trend.......]

who came up with 'mothers day' ?

is it just another scam by card companies or is there something behind it?

[GrandStokie]

it a scam alright, so far its cost nigh on £100 for my wife, kids and presents fromt the kids and a meal etc, I wouldnt mind but she aint even my mother!!

[Fred Astaire]

NO!

Stoke game
Mother's Day...

...and MY BLOODY BIRTHDAY!!!

It's a bloody conspiracy i tell ya!

[StokieSC]

Supposed to be down my Mums for dinner that my Sister is cooking.

I rang the old dear last night and explained that Stoke were on the box.

She understood, and has told my sister not to cook dinner till after 4.

I win.

[lesleystoke]

[fingers]

Well said lesley proper woman.

[jezzascfc]

I thought I'd get away with watching the game with the wife, but now the mother-in-law is flying over to see us as well, so we've got a table booked for lunch, with Sky plus taking care of the Stoke game.

[r10ryx]

thanks for the inventers of Sky+

[Top Stopper]

Well my lady is off to her parents for lunch while I enjoy a few pints at the local watching the mighty potters!
;D

[r10ryx]

Kids day will be next or how bout grandmothers day.... all stupid ways of gettin money

[stokemark]

Give a thought to the Stokies who are actually bothering going to the match instead of bleating on about having to schedule in 90 minutes during your mothers day 'celebrations'

[oldpaddock]

Simple, I've invited my mother and the wifes round for dinner, few drinks, dinner and the TV on in the lounge!!

[fingers]

mark well said mate.

[leicspotter]

I did a deal with the missus - am going to QPR with the lad but I had to take her to IKEA last weekend. Kids are taking her out tonight - she doesn't know yet - hope she can get changed quicker than usual! ;D

[fingers]

You managed to get out of the maze that is ikea then sounds a good deal to me that one.

[leicspotter]

Yeah, after three days they felt sorry for me and let me out - I reckon they didn't like me kippin' in the showroom

[stalbansstokie]

There will be plenty of mothers at the game on Sunday (including myself). Wouldn't have it any other way.

[GrandStokie]

fingers I take it you've never had an ear bashing from her indoors? Mine can mix it with the best of them and trust me if you read my thread properly you can see I've got another one coming on Sunday

LesleyStoke - your old man doesnt know how lucky he is

[fingers]

Falkez trust me mate i get an ear bashing most weeks when i say i am going to another away game {only 1 missed at Plymouth} but i was only joking mate my girls are 21 and 18 now so not so much pressure on taking the wife and kids out like there used to be when they were younger.

[GrandStokie]

I know you was joking, i was simply being ironic

[scfc06]

think i had the best idea as i don't have sky and my old dear does so i am going round her house to watch the match and then taking her our for tea with the missus and kids !!! best of both worlds i reckon !!!

[swipers]

Like a few have said - thank God for Sky+ ;D

Booked table for 12noon so at least I will only have a slight delay.

My mates mum is going to QPR and his wife only found out last weekend - they were all suposed to be going out together for a family meal - he has a happy mother, but a none too happy wife as she's now had to replan everything; don't think she took it too well when I pointed out that his mum would be happiest at the game ;D ;D

[mermaidsal]

What lesley and stalbans said Can't think of a better way to spend Mothers' Day, so long as we don't do anything daft like lose...

[soicowboy]

'is it just another scam by card companies or is there something behind it? '



Something to do with Romans worshipping some God about 2000 years ago-


Ridiculous though to think that folk flock out to eat on this, Valentines Day etc-



Bloody sheep

[Paul_Stoke]

My mother has had her gift off me tonight cause I am going to london for the weekend... bunch of flowers, box of choc's, M&S voucher. She's more than happy and understands my footballing urges!!

As for my mate.... he has the best idea, he's taking his mother to the match for a nice mothers day meal of Pie & Chips!!!!!!

[robin1302]

My mother is spending Mothers Day alone, as I'll be in London watching the mighty Potters! ;D
