It’s my best friends birthday very soon. We don’t see each other as much as we’d like as life/work/boyfriends etc take up a lot of our time so I wanted to do something special. I spoke to her boyfriend (we were a group of friends before they got together) and arranged what day is best for me to book something. We agreed the beginning of the week, the Monday as he’s planning to take her away for a few days. I’ve booked it off work and booked what we are going to do (posh dinner on a boat, London eye and planning the cinema) I spoke to the Boyf last night to check whether she’d seen the movie I’d like to take her to see and he said he’s booked them away for the whole week. I was a bit shocked as we’d discussed it and I’d arranged based on what he said. I won’t get my money back on the dinner as it’s a book in advance. My partner thinks I should mention it to her as it will be a while before I can get time off that works with her but I don’t think I should. Just suck it up and send her a great present maybe?
