    Ok-get this-
    I just text my SIL to ask if she is coming to my party...

    Just text me back-

    'Hi. Yes I am and bring a friend. Maybe two friends if that is ok? Sorry was going to ring you. thanks for the invite. Looking forward to it. xx'


    Is it me or is it strange she is bring not 1 but 2 people I dont know to my birthday party??!?!?!

    I wouldnt mind if it was a date...but clearly she is not bringing 2 men??!

    !!!!!!


    Sounds very strange...and a bit F**king rude not to ask if it was ok before inviting them

    Louise,
    Is tact and diplomacy a North East trait too or is that just me? Been into Morrison's today to get some stuff to make some cakes (Fund raising day on Friday).

    Lou - I like M & S but they insist on only doing size 8-10 which is no ruddy good if you are smaller than that! I think I'll get a white company one (they are in the sale for £25 so about the same price anyway) :)

    I am not sure if it is a North East trait or not, I think that I am quite tactful and diplomatic but some people like my MIL has always been the total opposite........saying that she is a Wigganer:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    This is seriously sad but I have a huge pile of those containers Sainsbury's use when you order sandwich party platters. Keep stuff fresh for hours. We had sandwiches Christmas afternoon which I made for Christmas Eve.
    (I get roped in for lots of catering stuff).

    Cheers sweetheart. Bet she won't be bringing any food along...
