Two weeks before Christmas I've got a boys trip to that London booked for a big weekend of gigs and booze.
It's planned now because we need to make sure we've got tickets and we need to make sure we've got decent digs.
A weekend away, mid December, when you have family, shows a very understanding missus.
I've also got them on warning I'll be watching more Villa this year.
BUT, by the same token, I will be using 'family commitments' as an excuse to bail out of a lot of work organised Friday nights that I really can't be arsed with.
