Sorry this is long.
It's my birthday on Sunday. DP and I are going to a singing workshop nearby.
Friday evening we're going to see my parents, 2 hours away. We're coming home early enough on Saturday evening to not be too tired Sunday 
My friend who lives in the same village as my parents has just called. She has a new boyfriend who lives about 10 miles from me. She wants me to give him a lift one or both directions. He would get a bus to/from my area. He doesn't drive, and to visit my friend he normally gets a bus and she picks him up - about a 45 minute drive for her.
Basically, I don't want to. I know it sounds daft, but - DP and I LOVE going in the car together. We always have fun in the car, and it's where we dissect the world and our reltaionship too. DP has been looking forward to going in the car to my parents for a week already! I don't want a gooseberry there, tbh.
If I were driving on my own, I also wouldn't really want to, but I wouldn't feel strongly enough to refuse.
My friend has form for making unreasonable requests of others. When she called I couldn't tell whether this is one of those times or whether my feelings were completely childish.
So I didn't tell her I don't want to. I thought of an excuse for Friday - that I really won't know when I'm leaving until the minute before I leave, and I don't want to be waiting for someone else's bus - but I couldn't think of one for the Saturday. She said the boyfriend would maybe get a bus (but maybe still want to arrange to come with us) on Thursday or Friday, but a lift back would be great. I expect she called to tell him immediately.
Can't speak to DP until late tonight. I just don't want to do it. I really want to whine in a toddler voice, 'But it's my birthday' but that's a red herring because I don't want a gooseberry any time 
Can I get out of it somehow or do I just have to suck it up?
