Subject: I hate planning parties with others... Author: Christie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:42:57 04/01/03 Tue In reply to: Holly 's message, "******Frugal Flops******" on 20:31:18 03/28/03 Fri I got suckered into planning our Navy wives support group Easter party because I'm one of the few who signed up as interested. Man, we're getting 50 to 100 dollars from the wives group and we don't know how much yet because the party is set for *3* days after the meeting that will authorize the money. Well, we kind of have to assemble the stuff so we need to get it now and have started picking things up. But the other girls want to have the easter bunny ($49 suit rental) and poloroid pictures ($20 for film) so that leave $31 for stuff. And that only *if* we get the $100. Since they are of the paycheck to paycheck mindset they see no problem with us donating the rest of the stuff we need for a party. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! I feel bad about being frustrated with this because we have the $ to donate everything I buy and probably chip in for some of the other stuff. But we have that money because I don't go out and just buy 2 $20 baskets to use as door prizes without discussing it with everyone else. Plus, I think if the group want to pay for a $100 party then they should get a $100 party and if it sucks because the Easter bunny isn't there, then they can allocate more money next year. But I'm out voted 2 to 1. Grrr... But now I feel better for getting to vent. So thanks. Christie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
