Christmas dinner

[Oxo]

My daughter asked us to go to theirs (s.i.l plus 3 teenagers) for Christmas day lunch.
A week before the day she asked "could you cook the turkey".........no real problem there.
Then the kids asked "can you do us a ham joint"............no real problem there.
So how come we were asked to go for lunch and it cost ME £30.00 ?

Why do you think you were asked? We went through similar scenario, can you bring etc etc, oh, and can you bring ........

I've only ever asked my mum to bring Christmas pudding but because she makes a really good one! I've now been initiated into making her pudding but I haven't mastered it yet!

Perhaps they feel a little out of their depth cooking a Christmas meal?
