I am turning 30 in 2 weeks time and had asked various family members if they would like to come out for a meal to celebrate. I asked everyone about 2 months ago.
I called round the family last week to tell them where I wanted to book, and as the restaurant wants a £5 deposit per person, asked them to let me know for definite if they were coming.
I saw MIL at SIL's house on saturday, told her I was booking this week & that I had to pay deposits and she confirmed that her and her DP were coming. She has said this right from the start.
I called her again today (as I wanted to call the restaurant to book), for her to tell me that she's not sure if they can come now because she is skint!!! I was so and actually quite upset (i burst into tears when I got the phone !!!) because I gave everyone plenty of notice of my plans to give people enough time to get the money together (it's only TGI's FFS, not The Ritz!). She has just paid out an absolute fortune kitting out her house in new furniture & decor etc and I know she still has a few quid put away.
Do you think I am BU for being upset that she has now decided she might not be able to come bearing in mind she has known about it for weeks ??
