    Tenth Anniversary
    Hi rose, I agree with FC, your sister obviously doesn't see it as a problem and more likely she needs you there for peace of mind in case something goes amiss, spending money is as much or as little as you can afford , I would go and have a nice relaxing time, you need it after the last few months:)

    I have a dilemma. My sister and husband want to go to Portugal this month. As her hubby is partially disabled after a stroke she likes to take someone else with her in case there is a problem. I went with them last year and only had to pay my air fare. We had a lovely time. Now this year she has invited OH and i for a week at the end of the month. She says they will pay the villa and car hire and all we need is airfare and spending money.
    However having just spent a lot of money on our daughter's wedding we are a bit tight for money. But we could manage it if we tighten our belts this month and next. Also she did the wedding at cost and I feel a bit guilty taking advantage of their generosity. ??

    What I love about this post is your sister's straight forward honesty in setting out exactly what your costs will be before you make your decision.

    I wouldn't feel guilty, she obviously gains with you being there. I think you should go.
