I will be celabrating my 60th year early next month & I'm aware that my wife & children have organised something, but it's all hush hush. The Mother in Law has been staying for a few days & announced this morning at breakfast, "well Ken you must be really looking forward to your weekend away at Center Parcs with all the family & all your closest friends & their families" My wife gave her a swift kick under the table, but the damage was done. This has been kept a secret for over 9 months, much organisation by our two girls in particular. So I feel a little bit sorry for them because whilst it will indeed be very special, that complete surprise moment of me walking into a restaurant full of extended family & friends will not be quite as special as they had planned. Thanks Mum
Judging from SWMBO's face, mood, anger, tears I think not. But hey perhaps you're right. Perhaps she's organised a Triumph Forum Road Trip!
Happy upcoming Birthday! If it was my departed MIL, she would blame you for not being older, so that you couldn't remember what she said when the big day comes around.
