long story short, ds ws confirmed yesterday, chose pizza hut for after mym mum said she would only come is he chose a proper meal...
soo... she waited till after when we were in the car park, asked ds if he was still going pizza hut, he said yes and she said " oh well, we are all going for a picnic instead"
turns out she had told my grandad thats what we were doing for his treat so he went as well...
so there was me, dp, ds and dd celebrating his confirmation and my family didnt even bother getting him a card ...
(pil (not ds's bio gp's) did go to the confirmation with card and present but they dont eat out at all)
