I already have
-a weekend in London
-two hen weekends
-one wedding abroad
-a midweek to Edinburgh
-a wedding anniversary party
and all before June plus add all of the other usuals!
plus booking our holidays!

I suppose it is November but it has all just piled up in the last few weeks. Not complaining of course, I’m looking forward to them all I just feel like it’s going to be a busy year!!

Nope.

I plan to do nothing.

Next year I will NOT be doing anything I don’t want to do just to please other people.

Panic Room? No. Drinks with colleagues? No. Hen weekend? Fuck off.

100% this. After the year I've had, if i don't want to do something, I'm not going to do it, just to please others, no matter who they are. If they don't like it, sucks to be them.

Cuddlywuddlies · 15/11/2022 18:04

I never said I was doing them for anybody else, I’m a grown woman, I get an invitation and I either accept or reject. I accepted the hens and wedding because they are people close to me. Nobody is forcing me, I am literally just after writing it into my calendar and it looks busy already is all I’m saying. 🤷‍♀️

You’re clearly not unreasonable to ask nor to have commitment.

If you’re asking would I enjoy having so much planned so early, then no. I do try to say no if I really don’t fancy something.

Discoh · 15/11/2022 18:08

No thank god. Sounds horrific

Heyahun · 15/11/2022 19:01

All my annual leave is booked off for next year except 3 days already 😂😂 have a few holidays, glasto, a nice trip to my family (I’m not from the uk) just me and my daughter who will have just turned 2 when we go - our first girls trip just the 2 of us! 🥰

I personally need lots of things to look forward to or I sink into depression. Get that’s not for everyone though

SocksAndTheCity · 15/11/2022 19:04

Nope. Bar a couple of regular events I go to every year, it'll (hopefully) be all the peace and quiet for me.

PinkiOcelot · 15/11/2022 19:11

Other than my holiday in June, I haven’t got anything planned.

KiwiInTraining · 15/11/2022 19:13

I’m not too sure what your AIBU is, OP.

ShadowoftheFall · 15/11/2022 19:14

So what? I have something booked for every month next year. All good. Do you give a shit? Thought not.

Cuddlywuddlies · 15/11/2022 19:37

But what is the unreasonable part?

Do you feel overwhelmed with it all?

JamSandle · 15/11/2022 19:41

No. This year was very busy for me. Lots of holidays. Work. Socially. Gym. Course. It's been a great year. But next year I want to save money and have a more restful time.

ABJ100 · 15/11/2022 19:41

Your calender is busy, because you chose it to be busy. I'm not sure what the aibu is Confused

Generally I'm like this too. I have to keep busy for my mental health. But when I'm with my loved ones I love a relax too.

4 gigs and a dentist appointment

Chuckle94 · 15/11/2022 19:47

Sounds good OP.
I like to have plans but so far I have nothing planned for next year. Where is the wedding abroad?

For some reason this made me giggle.

Some rock and roll and a dentist apt. You've reminded me I need to book in my checkup next year!

I’m sure you’re batting away the invites.
