Did the usual selection of nice bread and pickles to go with the leftover turkey, it was massive and enough for everyone to have many times...
However it is all elsewhere. Because I have three under four I offered to do the Xmas meal for the whole extended family rather than inflict an invasion force on my parents/ childless siblings. My mum kindly offered to contribute by buying the turkey, eh and I Cooked it with every trimming and did drinks so probably a pretty even split of costs, maybe us a bit more as hosts. We would have bought it all but of course accepted the lovely gesture.
After the meal dh stripped a huge platter full of leftover turkey. It was a great meal, all relaxed and on the way out mum said she was going to the fridge to get bits for home. I actually said "don't forget turkey!" As there was plenty for everyone to take a plate load home.
Mum took it ALL.
I rung to check if this was a mistake(we live very close so easy to solve) as we hadn't separated it out yet but she told me she bought it so it was their leftovers! It's so bloody tight and left a sour note, I feel like it was planned, actually getting the bird rather than just contributing to the overall cost, she knows how much everyone likes the turkey meals in the next few days. It'll probably be part wasted too there is so much. I now have no meat to eat with things and a disagreement to finish Xmas on.
Petty, others have bigger issues I know, but surely I'm not being unreasonable expecting to share??? I'm probably a bit sounds up as she has so much previous form for petty things, I ignored so many bloody comments in the day I was already wound up before the turkey went.... (Eg dd is hemiplegic, constant commenting on her development an other joys)
