Looks like I can't make it at all.
I've been fighting with my family over this one and I'm afraid they just won't budge.

It now appears that my brother's hoity toity friends are throwing them a going away party on the Saturday night. I've met these "friends" and believe me they are NOT my kind of people. Anyway, I've been told in no uncertain terms that if I don't attend, it will leave a black mark. So what? I'm already the black sheep of the family anyway.

So with a heavy heart, I will be attending, only for my Mother's sake because she want to go so badly.

I'm so very sorry....I certainly don't mean to let you down because I know that some of you were counting on me for transportation. I feel so badly about this and can't stop crying...

Have fun guys and I will be there in spirit.
