Heading towards the busiest season for DP, though it's still reasonable at the moment, due to get manic soon.

He had a meeting last night (no big deal) which has been planned for a while. We had had a conversation way back about dessert dinners. Then I saw a local cake shop doing just that - three mini desserts and a glass of wine, tomorrow night. Booked us two tickets. This was weeks ago, and he was really excited about it (I though).

He's now saying he's too ill. He has a freaking cold. I wouldn't be so pissed off but I have an operation in two weeks time for an undiagnosed pain issue. So firstly, I feel like he's taking the piss to say he's too ill when all he has is a runny nose, and secondly, it took me ages to recover from the GA last time, so this will probably be the last night out I could have had for a while.

No one else to go with, and besides, I booked it to go with him.

Of course I've been sympathetic, asked him if he needs anything, etc. But AIBU to feel a bit ragey?

Jeez, im still getting over a cold, felt like shite, but still managed to get up at 7am, do the school run, go to work, do school run again, go home and clean, thats while being bunged up, achy, and having interrupted sleep due to 5am coughing fits.

Your DH is just being a pussy.

I'd say tell him to man up, but it's hardly appropriate is it?! So tell him to woman up instead......In other words, get on with it!

Who the hell came up with phrase "man up". Idiot...

I'll come with you. Sounds great.

He's not being a pussy, he's being a dick Grin

I called them to cancel, they've said they have another one next month and will be in touch when they have a date. Hopefully will be the latter end so I'm well enough to go.

BBB 23rd next Brighton meet up, think Pixie has you on her list.

Wish I'd seen this earlier - am just a few miles down the road from you if you had been up for a MN 'blind date'!

SirBoobAlot · 16/02/2013 20:07

Spero, I would have been!! Are you coming to the meet up on the 23rd?!

No - I don't investigate the local section v. often and am actually up to London to meet some other MN buddies from another thread, otherwise I'd have popped along.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/02/2013 20:13

oooh, does ring a bell, didn't know I was on a list, how fabulous.

I'll check the local board, thanks Smile

Well to make up for last night, I went to the cafe and bought a fuck off size rather large piece of my favorite cake from them.
