Our DD has informed us that her family (SiL and GDs) have had and accepted an invitation to go away over the Christmas period. I know it is a wonderful opportunity and think they should take it but can't help feeling put out because they will be away for her father's birthday and our Ruby wedding anniversary. It has got me thinking that it is time DH and I were a little more 'selfish' and instead of a family party we should spend the money on a holiday for just the two of us. Too be honest I think it's time to close this branch of the Bank of Mum and Dad. Would love to hear other people's thoughts.
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
