We live in Bahrain, all my hubby's colleagues live in Saudi (45 minute drive), but in Bahrain...
- you can DRINK alchohol
- women can drive
and women don't have to wear an Abaya (black robe thingy)
SO......
Occasionally I would invite his co-workers for a BBQ or lunch, and put on a nice spread for them. Of course we always have a good stock of beer and wine etc (which is NOT cheap here)....Now they are just inviting themselves - at least three times a month - they will just say to my hubby "Oh we're coming to Bahrain this weekend - we'll pop in and see you" - except the "invasion" is always around a mealtime, and being a very houseproud hostess I always go out of my way to make a nice meal for them.
The latest thing now is that one particular family have started SLEEPING OVER - with their 3 kids - all under 8:eek:
I really just want a weekend with no visitors!!! I even missed the charity bike rally last Friday, as they hadn't left by 11 am, so I couldn't go:(
Oh, That's drive me nuts, Aly! Thank God I live in a boring hick town. lol. I don't know why, but I'm not a huge fan of entertaining. I'd much rather be entertained. lol.
