I would lard about as long as I felt like it then go out without the car and booze heavily, then come back when I felt like it in a taxi. I would brook no criticism. Upon arriving back I would seize the remote control and put on something I like and then petulantly demand to be brought cheese on toast.

And my DH would bring it too. He knows his place.

Get yourself a glass of wine and then 'accidentally of purpose' forget that you are meant to be driving.

nappyaddict · 18/03/2007 13:11

omg that's a bit unfair. it would be like going out on your birthday and not being able to drink. we aren't doing anything either. i didn't even get a card as ds is only 8 months old and can't exactly get the crayons out and make me one!

CODalmighty · 18/03/2007 13:14

ledodgy · 18/03/2007 13:15

Have you actually mentioned that you don't want to drive?
Some men need things stating very clearly - they probably think you're happy to drive because you always do.
