This post is slightly following on (yet again!) from Laura's post at Muddlingthroughaspergers, but I'm a lot older! I'm going to be 60 in a couple of weeks, and decided I needed to celebrate, I had a party at 30, 40, and 50, but things are a bit different now, so Mr H and I decided (well I decided and he agreed) that we would book a huge luxurious holiday cottage for the weekend, and pay for my 3 sons and their girlfriends, but that the boys would treat us to one meal out for my birthday. Mr H was up for it, (although was somewhat taken aback by the price!) but it seems he didn't think it through at all. So today, I emailed him at work, to say that I had been making a list of food to take, like bacon, eggs, BBQ stuff, wine, washing up liquid/ dishwasher tabs, and also what to buy there, and got the reply "well they can buy their own can't they?" So I assume he thinks each person should take their own food, toilet roll, washing up liquid etc.......how utterly stupid. When all's said and done, I'm their mum, feeding them is what I do, even though they're in their late 20's/early 30's. So now he's in a panic, how much it's going to cost for the weekend. I know he'll moan about this for weeks now, and I wish I hadn't bothered with the birthday bash. On the upside, he thinks he might take his fishing gear and head off to a local lake for a couple of days while the rest of us enjoy ourselves!
Will keep you posted
