Week so far.

So far my time off has been lovely, relaxing, watching Jerry Springer and visiting various family.
But now is the final little countdown to my birthday and after failing to find a restaurant that will cater for a lot of fussy eaters, I decided to just have a quiet chinese with family over at my Grandparents.
This seems to end up being my normal birthday celebration as it caters for everyone except my older sister.

Now this sister is the absolute fussiest of us, she eats no savoury food, only bread, yoghurt and desert basically.
As you can imagine, this makes going out for meals awkward as hell and frankly embarrassing for my Grandparents who cannot understand why at 24 she is still ridiculously fussy.
In comparison, I seem to be a rather good person to cater for, providing there is no vegetables involved.
This way sister can be fed her usual attire of bread and pudding without anyone feeling awkward whatsoever.

I was under the impression she would have been happier with this arrangement anyway, so I was told I had to tell her the updated birthday meal plans.
So today (I was meant to yesterday but I ended up meeting up with some old friends and getting properly pissed!) I send her a message to let her know what is going on.
Dear God why did I even bother?
I get a response from her which to be honest really annoyed the hell out of me.
She made a massive fuss about how she didn't get paid by her work and has no money, and she can't afford to pay for her and my brother in law to get down to us for the meal.
Instead she was planning on getting carted around like a princess being chauffeured to a restaurant and having my Grandparents pick up the bill.

Now the plan to have a takeaway also solved the problem of designated drivers.
Everyone aside from my boyfriend will likely drink a stupid amount of wine and whatever else becomes available and this saves anyone from not being able to drink as they would have to drive.

But still, I end up with my sister having a go at me for changing what I wanted to do.
Obviously she forgot that it is going to be MY 21st, and I actually get to choose what I want to do, not what she wants to do.
Rest of the family, perfectly happy with the arrangements except her. I haven't had chance to see her all week as she has been working but now she would rather go without seeing me at all than ask for someone to either lend her the train fare or to even go collect them and bring them down.
Even though if she doesn't even have enough money to get down here, she won't have enough money to feed herself and pay her bills, so basically she needs a loan which Grandparents will happily give her.

Fucking typical that it is her causing the problems.
