Dh has been given a bonus at work for being a general superstar. it's a night away in a hotel for all of us and theme park tickets.

I specified that we would need two interconnecting rooms, one for us and one for the children, a bath as DD wil NOT have showers and a restaurant on site because I can't be doing with traipsing the DC out for breakfast/dinner.

They've just sent through the booking and it has none of these things, it's one room with a shower, no restaurant.

I am going to get DH to complain and get the booking changed. My sister said I should just suck it up as it's free, but if it's not suitable for our needs then what's the point?

AIBU?

Grin She is actuallly very lovely irl, you'd all like her, she reserves her true horrors for me because she knows she can get away with it.

And as she says, 'if you think what comes out of my mouth is bad, thank god you can't read my mind'.

Ha, OP, i thought there was something a bit wrong with this, it didn't sound like you.

Would love to meet your sister. She sounds very, um, interesting.

Grin

She;d be excellent on here, she has some very strong views on, well, everything.

My other sister's on here sometimes, she's great.

Grin This thread does acksherly a little bit demonstrate the difference between old regulars and less regulars on mumsnet. If you were wearing your normal name people would have been way less pissy with you. I hope you don't mind me observing that!
WayHarshTai · 21/09/2013 20:31

Ha!

Good point.

Lovely jubbly. Thanks treacle. But still bloody snorting at your sister. Got to admire her brass neck though I suppose.

Oh who were you?

I think I love your sister.

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 21:11

I was Reality, EleanorHandbasket etc.

I am in constant flux these days due to boredom and a cunty ex.

picnicbasketcase · 21/09/2013 21:12

It was perfectly obvious that it was a reverse AIBU as soon as the 'I'm not my sister' bit came up.

OP, your DSis sounds like an entertaining nightmare. No offence Grin

Catsize · 21/09/2013 21:12

Outrageous. There are entire families living in one room.
Poor precious princess needing a bath.
Ingratitude is incredible.

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 21:13

That about sums her up, Picnic.

ExitPursuedByADragon · 21/09/2013 21:13

Ah. I loved you in those incarnations as well.

DHs works freebie this year was a 3 day stay in a far off country, taxis & flights paid, all expenses paid, luxury ball/dinner while there, sight seeing tours arranged etc etc

we did not want to go ( we don't do foreign hols and we did not want to leave the DC). We will save trips like that for when they are a lot older.

But, I would never have asked for the cash instead or for an equivalent break to the same value for us all in the UK.

we just politely declined.

OPs sister is a rude entitled twit!

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 21:15

See, Vivacia, I got a whole new name AND internet snogs out of this thread.

Well wurf it.

Stop being ungrateful and of course your dd can go without a bath, as for rat tailed hair, tie it up or better still plait it...... Yabvu

complaining about loo roll? What, was it that tracing paper stuff?

I'm impressed by your DSis, I must admit, she sounds quality.
