thanks girls... now I just need the support of DF... he's too worried about pleasing his family. I say bugger them, lets look after "us" as that's all that matters. esp in this case. unless him and his parents are just having me on and its all a joke, but seriously, i don't want anyone there except the two of us. PLUS it's going to be the last time we go away as a couple before we have a baby... another thing, it will be our first time as a married couple at xmas (like one of you said)
yeah i think i'll start organising a xmas lunch at our house the weekend before, that way keeps everyone happy. honestly, does xmas one week early really make a difference? after all, we are all adults, no children involved!!!
thanks girls...
