(shouldn't the plural of 'spouse' be 'spice'? grin)

It sounds to me as though that's just the way your DH's workplace do these things.

Unless you know his colleagues personally and socialise with them apart from the usual Christmas dos I wouldn't expect spouses to be invited along to a daytime leaving event.

OH is retiring this week and as Friday is his last day he and about a dozen colleagues are going out to lunch together and then later in the afternoon they are having drinks and nibbles so everyone can pop in and say goodbye, he knows they have a gift for him as well..
Now why am I feeling miffed that they haven't asked me to pop in too, I do know its his big day and for him to say his goodbyes to the many friends he's made there.
So would it be the 'norm' not to invite his wife along? If its just the way its done then I won't feel 'miffed'. wink
