I’m in a bit of a fuzz over our wedding anniversary in two weeks time. I told my mother my plans - a family sit-down meal at a much-loved Indian restaurant - but she’s going away on the Friday before our anniversary so she won’t be here. Not a problem, I can work around that by picking another day. We saw hubby’s Dad on Saturday and he’s invited us out for his birthday this weekend. Guess where he’s going? To the same restaurant as we planned to go! So I’m now bookmarking something between the two for next weekend, only I’ve got absolutely no idea what to do. Part of me is contemplating doing a pub meal but knows that my mother can be a fussy eater, part of me is considering doing a garden party (a lot of prep and a lot of stress, can I really be bothered?) and part of me is contemplating a simple tea and a slice of cake to save money and avoid all of the fuss.
@Kh1985 I did say she’d have to come up for my curry battered fish (kind of a fusion fish pakora) at some point and she said “yuck”, so I guess not then. Honestly, she doesn’t know what she’s missing!
@AJSTAR we does, does we? granted I have a hard time saying no to carrot cake. It sounds like tea and cake might be the way to go.
@steve19 12 years. We did a pub dinner for our 10 year, Mum ordered a Pizza Margherita then said it was a bit plain. Hence, probably, the frantic panic to find something we know she won’t find fault with
@JGood Ashton Court Estate is the other side of the river from us and a bit of a pain to get to without a car, unless of course you’re offering
@KinkyMira the anniversary itself is going to be just the two of us, doing what we haven’t quite yet decided, but it will be. This is more because the family likes to see us, and if we have to be civil then we might as well make it matter.
@JGood I don’t do leftover carrot cake. That’s an alien concept to me.
