Should i tell them not to mind him again?

Do you not want them to come?

FunkyBoldRibena · 23/02/2014 17:04

Who knows...were you there? do you not want them to come? Are you out next weekend?

WhoNickedMyName · 23/02/2014 17:05

I'd simply say to DH that you're really looking forward to it and ask him what he's cooking.

I once had a 'moment' and invited neighbours over. Turned out they were lovely. They have moved away now and we're gutted.

Have them over - why not?

JennyOnAPlate · 23/02/2014 17:07

What whonicked said!

Nataleejah · 23/02/2014 17:07

I'm cooking and they're welcome. Just DH should have been sober...

Just make sure he does all the work.

LiberalLibertine · 23/02/2014 17:09

Why should he have been sober?

WhoNickedMyName · 23/02/2014 17:10

Oooookkkkaaayyy... Well I'm probably being really dim but if you're happy to cook and they're welcome, then what's the problem?

Nataleejah · 23/02/2014 17:12

Not if he does it again...

Nataleejah · 23/02/2014 17:13

I really have no choice... Cannot uninvite them

FunkyBoldRibena · 23/02/2014 17:16

You can uninvite them. You say 'my drunken husband invited you round and we are going out that night. Ha ha ha - he's a card isn't he?

anniroc · 23/02/2014 17:21

Sorry I don't really understand what the problem is, unless they're really unpleasant people. We get on really well with our neighbours on both sides and occasionally socialize with them. You might enjoy yourselves!

morethanpotatoprints · 23/02/2014 17:25

If my dh had done something like this, he would be the one cooking or doing the uninviting. It certainly wouldn't be me, although neighbours to the left are lovely, I'm not a great cook.

If you don't want to do it get him to cancel or tell him he will have to cook. It's his problem, why bother yourself.

MamaPain · 23/02/2014 17:30

Takeaway.

Nataleejah · 23/02/2014 17:50

They're new. They moved in 2 days ago and i never even seen them. I HOPE it will be a nice time.

OP posts:
LiberalLibertine · 23/02/2014 18:23

Right, no problem then?!

MothratheMighty · 23/02/2014 18:29

I really don't understand the problem.
You have a week's notice
He can cook for them
You have no prior appointments.

We used to do this to each other all the time, invite friends and aquaintances and the like back for a drink or a meal. I once turned up with two Japanese students I'd met on a train and whom I'd invited back for a traditional English tea.

Does your DH know that you dislike this, even with notice? If it is something that really bothers you, then you need to make it clear to him. So clear that he'll remember even if drunk and excited.

FunkyBoldRibena · 23/02/2014 18:42

So...what's the point of this thread?

ReadyToPopAndFresh · 23/02/2014 18:45

I think the OP just doesn't really want to make friends with the neighbors. I'm a bit like that. They could be lovely, or they could ask you if you have a relationship with God, or if you're a fan of Nick Griffin. BUt it's always awkward when you've already had them over
