I usually organise our trips away with my husband, I love to research hotels, holiday homes etc and usually come up with something really good.

My husband is taking me away tonight for 3 nights as a surprise, I have no idea where, other than it’s UK.

I have been told what to take in terms of dress and my walking boots have been put in the car.

It’s a very strange feeling, I have no control on this one!

If it’s a tent , Im coming homešŸ˜‰.

How exciting Sago, I love a surprise. Do let us know where you end up and if you like it!

Juliet27 Fri 05-May-23 09:31:01

Hope you have a wonderful time. Looking forward to hearing what he’s planned!

Have a lovely time, if he knows what your standards are he'll surely get it right. Though you never know it might be a Glamping pod or a yurt.smile

Glamping? Now that’s something I’d try, Sago, but I’d pass on the dry robe and wild swimming unlike Bluebell.
Mr Sago knows only too well your high expectations. I’m confident you’ll have a tremendous time.

I hope you have a great time. I would hate any surprise trip but realise I am probably in the minority.

How exciting, I love a surprise.

Have a lovely time! I wouldn't do camping at any price so I'm with you on going home,if that's the 'surprise'. Come back and tell us!

nadateturbe Fri 05-May-23 10:47:38

I'm afraid I couldn't cope with not knowing. Hope it's a nice surprise. Do let us know.

Sago Fri 05-May-23 10:49:04

I will tell you all later if I love a surprise or not.

I had a horrible upbringing, as a result I’m not good if I don’t have some control.

I don’t think my husband understands this strange side of me.

I have made him promise in the past to never try and surprise me so this is his first attempt!

I think he will have run it past our 3 children firstšŸ¤ž

I hope you have a lovely time Sago.

How exciting! Hope you have a lovely time. Having not been away for nearly four years now, I'd love a wee break - even a surprise one.

Hope you have a wonderful time - wherever you end up!

Hopefully if he’s consulted with the family and it will be just perfect and you’ll be able to enjoy it together.

I’m not keen on surprises either and like you prefer to know what’s happening. My old boy gets presents either absolutely spot on or just disastrous, so if I were in your shoes I’d be more worried. than excited! He booked a surprise cruise for my 60th, I said what bit of ā€œI never, ever want to go on a cruiseā€ did you manage not to hear in the last 40 years?ā€ In fairness we went and I really enjoyed the Norwegian Fiords but cruising still isn’t for me!!

FannyCornforth Fri 05-May-23 13:46:54

Brilliant! Have fun 🤩

nadateturbe Fri 05-May-23 14:19:36

If he has consulted, should be ok. Enjoy!šŸ™‚

What a splendid husband you have, Sago- I hope that you'll come back to tell us about it.
My children booked me a surprise holiday for my seventieth birthday- all very hush hush, just told take your passport and pack clothes for a warm and sunny break. The day before, I bumped into my daughter's inlaws who said " ooh lucky you, going to S...we've always wanted to go there..".

Jaxjacky Fri 05-May-23 15:23:02

Have the best time Sago šŸŒžšŸ„‚

I ashamedly admit to being decidedly envious. Enjoy!

ginny Fri 05-May-23 18:25:48

Enjoy it whatever it is. Lovely that he cares enough to pry it out.
