DH has a whole weekend off. rare. He has been abroad on holiday in august. I was going to go away for the weekend (he does not know this, as I changed my mind before telling him) but we talked about doing a boot sale as a)we really really need the space and b) the money is going to buy us (or add to the money we are making selling other stuff) the cooker we want, and need as the oven has gone on our other one.
DH said he did not really want to spend his whole rare weekend off work doing a boot fare, not with such nice weather, he wants to go camping. Our air mattress is broken, which means instead of making money we would buy another one, spending money (i have a bad back, so it wont be cheap). I had been all excited about selling tat at 50p a pop and talked him out of it. I told him he had to sacrifice a weekend from time to time to get the things we want and he has already been abroad not like he has not had a break, i am happy to sacrifice my own weekend blah blah blah.
This morning, he said 'i have been thinking you know, you are right, and actually I do want to do a boot sale, thought about the books I could sell'. DD is all excited about it, woop we are all set to get up at 5am, drag children to a field and sell our 50p tat!
But. The weather is glorious. I have not organised the boot sale stuff, properly, not that it matters, wont be too difficult tomorrow. A very good friend of ours has just called to say they, and several other of our friends are going camping to a fab place in North Cornwall where there is surf, secluded beach within walking distance...and another friend has offered to lend us their spare lovely double air mattress which is better than ours. I told them our plans, they said they had that exact dilemma, were toying with the idea of car boot but changed their minds. I said we would think about it, but would definitely go up on sunday after the boot sale.
And now, on reflection, I am thinking, sod it, sod the money, we can do that another week, we need this break, DH has been away but I have not, the kids have not (i have been poorly with back, plus shit weather) and this weather is finally lovely. It won't cost much, some fuel, camp fees, fish and chip supper, snacks/lunch. DS overheard me (he is 2) and he is like 'can we go caaaampiiiiin mummy? can we go? can we go?' and DD heard and is like 'YEY!' in screechy voice 'we can do a boot sale there! or next week! can we go can we go'.
But, then my sensible logical voice is saying that 1) i bugged DH to change his mind and 2) we should really do the boot sale because DH wont have another weekend off for ages and I fancy baking some cakes and can't without our oven!
AIBU to change my mind then?
