Owned!

Boyfriend's off for a weekend of fun with his fellow GP-trainees who graduate this summer. I don't mind. I can be a nice girlfriend. I believe that he has 'earned' a weekend of drink and fun. But!!

This is how our 'good-bye conversation' went;

B/F: Bye honey!! I'll be home first thing on Sunday - I'll leave as soon as I wake up.*

Me: Bye sweetie.

B/F: Oh btw, there's talk about watching the football at J's on Sunday afternoon.

Me: what? you're going to be gone all weekend and then leave as soon as you get back?

B/F: It's an England game!!

Me: (raised eyebrows)

B/F: I'll treat you to a spa-treatment next week!!

Me: (silence)

B/F (nervously): C'mon Ems, I've gotta go! It's a 50 minute drive to the cottage.

I was joking but this is turning out in my favour

Me: Mhhhm!**

B/F(desperate): I'll leave my credit card!

Me: SOLD! Bye honey!

- Door closes after a quick kiss, leaving Boyfriend looking a bit stunned.***

*Hmmm - this will most def NOT be before noon.

**Translation: "you're not leaving until we're done negotiating"

***Not my fault if he starts the negotiations so high - I would have settled for a foot-rub.
