DH has an annual school reunion in September some distance from us - we live in darkest Cornwall, the reunion is in the South East (can't say where as could be outing) & we've gone every year for - well ages.
I enjoy it as we meet old friends & it's a chance for DH to catch up with people who he was at school with about 60 years ago. The men go for their AGM, the women sit outside a pub (the weather is generally good) &, frankly we have a good gossip, catch up about GC, what's happening in our lives & probably drink rather more than we would do normally. It's a good weekend & I enjoy catching up with friends who I generally only have contact with via email & the occasional WhatsApp call.
However, somehow I've become the travel agent for about 5 couples & it's in danger of increasing - I'm getting emails from others saying: 'I understand that you're staying at X hotel, would love to join you, can you book us in?'. I'm saying not this year due to pressure of work, granny duties etc.
It's crept up over the years, first I booked (and paid the deposit for) the same hotel that we're staying in for ex-pat friends travelling from abroad, then I booked their trains as easier for me to do as they fly into Heathrow, we can meet at Paddington & travel on from there together meeting the others at St Pancras to travel onwards.
Fast forward a few years & this year I find that I've booked rooms (again paid a deposit for) in the hotel that we're all staying in for 5 couples. Then ex-pat friend can't come as has health condition & can't fly, so cancel his bookings. Not an issue as not his fault. I can cancel & get my deposit back given the circumstances & that lots of notice given.
All friends very good at paying me my deposit back & I have no issues with payments.
Then I get another request from a couple asking if I can move their train ticket from St Pancras as they would like to stop off to visit daughter for a couple of hours while in London. Another saying that they can't be there on the Friday as planned (as looking after GC), but would still like to stay on the Saturday.
Now another has asked if I've booked a family room as her (adult) daughter would like to come. I've said no, only booked double rooms, if they want to change their booking here's the hotel's contact info.
Another asking if I've booked dinner anywhere & specifying that they can't eat spicy food - my answer is 'No I haven't, thought we could go to Wetherspoons as good choice & good price' (we will have a formal meal that we're all going to on the Saturday).
WTF am I - an Fing travel agent?!!😡
I've told DH that I'm taking a break from the school reunion next year & they can sort themselves out.
I've also said that, at least for next year, DH can book our holidays, dog kennels, B&B before/after any flights, train fares etc etc. Which means we will probably spend the rest of our lives going to the same (dog friendly) hotel locally that we visit about 3 times a year out of season & no more foreign holidays.
Do I care? Not really.
AIBU? DH says no I've done enough &, although I'd be missed, fair enough.
Or AIMNBU & should just continue doing it as I'm good at it otherwise why would people ask me to do it year after year?
