That my brother in law is bringing his veggie wife to stay....
Sorting out Christmas has been a bloody nightmare. We have had PIL for quite a few years as BIL and SIL always have Christmas with her family. This if fine but PIL obviously want to see them over Christmas as some point. Anyway because of the timings of her family staying and dog issues, we finally agreed that BIL would come down with nephew this weekend, leaving his wife behind as she had lots to sort out before her family arrived. Plan was come this afternoon and BIL and nephew would leave Monday am. PIL would come down earlier so we could all meet up.
I ordered shopping yesterday and planned all the meals. Home made lasagne tonight and a huge piece of pork shoulder to slow roast tomorrow for about 6 hours with mash and apple sauce. Yum yum. Spent this morning cooking and prepping.
Anyway we had a text saying just before lunch saying "we are leaving now but 3 of us now coming". Hence frantic panic and a dash into busy town to pick up veggie stuff and rush back to sort out beds. Sorted.
It now transpires that they are planning on going back tomorrow afternoon before pig fest rather than staying. If I had known they weren't going to be here I would have bought a much smaller piece of meat so we won't be eating it until Christmas (ok slight exaggeration!).
Is it me or is this just rude? Surely she must have known she was coming with more than 3 hours notice.....
