Dsd (20 yo) is cooking for a group of people on Boxing Day. This will be at someone else's house, not here. Today she told/asked dh to take her to Sainsbury's to buy everything she needs. We have people over at 12pm for lunch and then other stuff on in the afternoon (ds and dh digging up our tree and bringing it in and then going to a carol service - these are our traditions that mean a lot to us).
So, go shopping in the morning I hear you say, which would be fine but dsd just doesn't do mornings and there is just no way she will be ready at say, 9am or the time they actually need to go.
I just know that no matter what time they arrange to meet, she will be late, which will knock onto the rest of the day. It's an old schoolfriend of dh that is coming for lunch, I hardly know them so he does need to be back in time but it's highly unlikely he will be. Dsd is routinely 2/3 hours late for whatever they arrange.
Sigh. Just having a moan really!!
