Ok calm down noddy!BUT aibu?last month I booked a comedian in london and a hotel for the might and before I did I said to ds(16) I am not booking this if at the last minute you say you have a party etc as it is so expensive I can't afford to waste the £.At the time he said no way he couldn't wait etc.Dp is 50 in a few weeks and this is for his birthday as he doesn't want a big party(teetotal)and he is going to the drum show at earls court and I was supposed to be going shopping with ds to get a coat and shoes etc for college.Today he announces he is going to a huge party!!!!!!!I am so angry BUT think the best thing is for us to just go without him because if I force him to stay in and come he will be so miserable all day it will be torture!

God he has been so sweet since we got back I am getting suspicious!He is up to something I tell ya
