to want to see Take That when I'm eight months pregnant?

Okay. I had tickets to see Take That on 2nd July. I am usually a rational, intelligent woman with much better musical tastes, but I have loved Take That since I was 11 and the habit isn't going to die now Grin

Almost immediately after I bought the tickets I discovered I was pregnant Smile Smile Smile and that the baby is due on 26th June. So I sold the tickets on viagogo and we used the money to buy a cot. I think this was saintly behaviour, given that I have seen Take That at every tour since 1994 and, in the wilderness years, was a huge Mark Owen fan. I've been to see him twice too Blush. In fact, DH is actually a Mark Owen fan now, despite usually liking Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Aerosmith.

I also sold my piano to pay for repairs to our house, so I am now thinking I am a double saint. We are ploughing all our money into making our house better for when the baby comes, and trying to make sure we have zero on our credit cards etc before she is born. Obviously this is all very sensible and I am in total agreement with DH that this is what we should do.

Last weekend, though, I won £95 on a £5 bet on the Grand National, and I did a telephone interview for which I got £60. So I now have £155 to burn. DH wants us to go for a meal, go to the cinema, and go for lunch etc with the money. I want to go to see Take That at the end of May in either Sunderland or Manchester (we live in Cambridge). DH says this will end up costing way more than £155 with travel/hotel involved. I say I'm carrying his child and I deserve it Grin

Who is right? . Tell me it's me!

I saw Take That in Birmingham a few years ago (can't remember which tour, I've been way too many times!) and the boys were delayed going on stage as someone down the front (all seats) was giving birth. I'm sure I read afterwards that they sent her flowers or something. So not quite a visit but I reckon it's worth it.

My DD is 2 months and I had two weeks of sleepless nights while pregnant working out how I would get to see Take That if they only played one gig and that happened to coincide with my due date. The eventual plan was to take my DP with me, make him wait outside the venue while I watched the boys...I wouldnt have missed it for the World!
