I undertook to organise our Book Group Christmas lunch today - emailed pub, got menus, collated choices, liaised with pub re times et and took round a cheque for the deposit. I also baked cardamom shortbread biscuits, put 6 each in little cellophane bags from Lakeland, tied a bit of ribbon round the top, attched a Christmas tag to say" Happy Christmas, love from Soutra "and put one at each place.
While I did not expect a speech, bouquet or even undying gratitude I am feeling let down that only 1 person has sent me an email to say it was lovedly (it was - gorgeous meal) thanks for arranging and thanks for the biccies. Is it unreasonable to think that one expresses thanks for even a small gesture? It was drummed into me as a child and I wonder if I am wrong to expect it from others? it is like when you have friends round for a meal, or to stay - a quick text/email/phone call just to say "Thank you" the next day is the least I would expect to do. AIBU?
