Hardly anyone has volunteered and I feel guilty, we are doing the catering for a formal awards event. I am somehow on the committee.
They want help on the Sunday from about 9-1130. I am going out the night before to a lovely friends 40th. And then have to work the following afternoon at 2pm, my work can be unpredictable and often very busy and I don't always get a break. The awards thing is about 15 min from my work but at least 40min from my home. So I don't want to go help then either go home for 30 min then straight back out to work after being home for under an hour, or hang around for 2 1/2 hours in the area.
Plus we have DC to collect from grandparents after our night out. I plan on driving and DH will have a few drinks. I don't really want him to not have a few drinks just to go help at cubs either, because he works hard all week and hardly ever goes out. not sure how keen he'd be to make, and serve sandwiches to about 400 people either
Are these just excuses and I'm being mean or quite legitimate?
