IABU but WTF?

OK so I know IABU as the thought behind this is very kind.

FIL and his DW are coming to visit this weekend. They have offered to make a lasagna (the DW is Italian) and have sent a list of ingredients for us to buy. This includes 8 balls of mozzarella, an entire block of cheddar, 8 boxes of lasagna sheets and 750g of mince (plus a lot of tomato). This will make two trays.

I don't eat meat so will have to sort out something for myself and DS is 8mo so will eat hardly any. DH is on SW so will have a tiny portion.

Surely that amount of lasagna for 3 people is insane?! Also am a bit put out that I have been ignored, feeling a bit sidelined in my own house.

Yes I noticed she had a bottle in hand as she left but assumed it was her own and was just the same as one we had on the cupboard. Checked the cupboard and ours was gone!

She smuggled a bottle of alcohol out with her?? That's a bit rude!

BillSykesDog · 02/10/2016 17:51

Was she really ill or just hungover?

RebootYourEngine · 02/10/2016 17:56

She stole a bottle from you Confused

I hope you have told her to take/send it back.

That is even more bizarre than the monster lasagna.

Do you work somewhere she might be hiding from? MI5?!

Well FIL said it was medication changes Bill but perhaps he was covering? They did stay up later than us (DS wakes early so we don't stay up late) so there was opportunity for drinking.

I work for the NHS Anchor although I suppose that's the kind if thing I would say if I were working for MI5 Grin

She's an alkie! (Yes I know it's a serious affliction and Im being flippant.) cheeky mare!

BillSykesDog · 02/10/2016 18:04

That does sound like a drink problem to me. Explains the recipe, she was pissed!

Amalfimamma · 02/10/2016 18:04

I think 3 things.

1 she's a cheeky mare
2 she's as italian as you are.
3 she doesn't have an clue what goes into a lasagne

Ooh I almost forgot! Our spare bedroom is off one of those demi landings that stairs have where they change direction. It is right at the back of the house. Our bedroom is at the top of the stairs and right at the front of the house with DS' bedroom in between.

Last night I was woken up by the light in our bedroom going on and her wandering in. FIL has said that before she has done this at his parents and actual fell asleep in his parents' bed!

Um, yeah. Pissed.

StStrattersOfMN · 02/10/2016 21:01

Pissed? Hungover?

Or isn't there a medication for alcoholism that makes you violently sick if you drink on it? My money is on that.

Her lasagne sounds about as Italian as mine.
