The brownie points are worth something. The problem is, they don't tell us that we even had them until they've been spent, usually for
time on some pursuit they are not interested in in the first place.
At the risk of further wrath from our Ms. Foz, I know that we are generally in the negative, until told otherwise, but never one up. Doesn't
happen. But they let you THINK you are in the good books from time to time. Everything is at the discretion of the management.

I did flowers, card, cooked and chocolates.
What did I get? F.A. I am soooo in credit.
No bad thing.

No wrath from me RK ....
I do think, from being on here for many years, and reading posts, that you are right
I have concluded that most women are not like me .....
But...there again, neither of us has to earn Brownie Points .... as we are both such Petrol Heads.....
FWIW though, he was made up with his 'Full English' served in bed with a nice cuppa, and his chocs.
I am made up as the local florist has just delivered a beautiful bouquet of red roses and lilies .... so major brownie points all round..so we are
both spending them at Race Retro next month .... ....
Now that is a result!

Cake and meal, highly commendable but alas, you have fallen into the commercial trap of
over inflated flower prices

As someone said earlier, it is setting the bar a little high. I can hear it now "... and back in 2010 you baked my a cake and bought me
roses!!"

... and Brownie Points are always collected in arrears and are therefore useless as soon as collected!!

Notice the sporadic updates (probably in between shags!)
Fair play on the romantic stuff. Youre not married and dont have kids then?
Kindest Regards,
