Shatting my pants as i still haven't told Mrs S I'm going after promising to take a year off. Van ready, passport and camping gear stashed at safe house, all sorted. Just got to get 'the conversation' over and done with 
Si
Tickets are in the post special delivery, tell her now before she sees them...
You know you want to

Tickets arrived safely at the 'safe house' this morning and are stashed with the camping gear, credit card, wedge of euros and passport. If it all goes pair shaped all I have to do is get out of the house. I've worked out a route which involves climbing down off the kitchen roof, down the back of the shrubs and across the lawn on the blind spot. Only snag is the river at the end of the garden which I will have to swim. Hell or high water I will be there. Hoping to get the green light before then though. I have all the guys teasing me with texts at the moment (which I know she will read at some point this weekend) and have been sulking a lot, she will soon realize that its because of the LM ban I'm so miserable lately. She'll soon cave in 
2 weeks today and i will be pissed- this will all be a distant memory

Use chloroform when she is asleep in the bedroom and tie her up while she is 'under', gag her and then go to LM... on your return put some ropes downstairs and struggle upstairs saying you have just untied yourself and is she ok, then check if any thing is missing

tell her you thought you were going to die apart

and sob a bit.
It is either that or tell her now and miss LM anyway because you will be in hospital!
Hide the suitcases so she can't move out... on the other hand, put them where she can see them.
Or, you could say you have to go somewhere for a few days to look at another Saab and hope to be back soon then phone to say the van has broken down so you will not be back until monday night.
