Need a bit of perspective on this one. It is so tedious I can't really believe I'm writing it!
My aunt offered to make some curtains for DSs room. I could have done them myself, but as she offered I thought why not and was very grateful to her.

Fast forward to Easter Sunday, she had dropped the finished article round to my parents as we were having Sunday lunch with them on that day. She'd rung a few days begore and told me they were there and I had thanked her perfusely for finishing them and we picked them up on Sunday afternoon.

Thursday lunchtime (as i was just about to serve DSs birthday lunch to DS and grandparents) I get a call from my uncle saying aunt is offended that I didn't call to thank her afor the curtains nd could I do it that evening. I said yes of course and went explained to him that DS was writing a thank you letter to her along with those he was writing for his birthday presents and I was planning on calling her as we had previously discussed her coming over for lunch and I was going to thank her when I had called.

This is probably a good time to menti

Pressed "enter" too soon? Hmm. On balance, you should have rung sooner, I think.
