He's invited 2 couples for dinner on NYE.
Now if they were close friends I wouldn't mind, but the men he plays golf with- I don't know them or their wives. Have met them once, and that was it.
Added to the fact we are away over Xmas till late on 30th Dec, so I will have to fight the hoardes on NYE at the shops, cook the meal (I'll help said dh- er, you've booked golf all day).
I was looking forward to a nice quiet NYE, not cooking a bloody dinner party for people I don't know.
